This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NancyBlueINOklahoma (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: "Hardball", Chris Matthews, MSNBC today 3/29/17

If for whatever strange reason you thought that Trump may have possessed a millimeter of interest for his job, and the people he was elected to govern, prepare to be disabused once and for all. Discussing the Trumpcare fiasco Jeremy Peters, a reporter for the New York Times on MSNBC's "Hardball" this evening reported that Trump, watching Trumpcare go down the tubes was so desperate for some deal, ANY deal that he is quoted as having said: "I don't care what's in it.

Wed Mar 29, 2017, 10:58 PM
Mar 2017

he's a raging old fart. He may as well be wearing a nightie and a cap and screaming curses in a falsetto voice. If there isn't a calamity happening, he makes a calamity happen. And guess what, he's getting all the attention, hands down. It's trump said this, trump tweeted that, trump tooted the horn on a Mac truck. It's like watching a bad cartoon, with bad animation and a worse plot. He probably didn't know he handed the U.S. over to Russia and if it penetrates his skull, he'll be pretty damn sure it'll be hard to top. And then he'll push the button.
