Trump's Sessions Comments Resemble Lonesome Rhodes Exposed

[louis c]

President Donald Trump once called Attorney General Jeff Sessions a "dumb Southerner" and mocked his accent behind his back, the journalist Bob Woodward wrote in his coming book, a copy of which was reviewed by The Washington Post.

Woodward also reportedly wrote that Trump, mimicking Sessions' Southern accent, called his attorney general "mentally retarded" and said that Sessions "couldn't even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama."

2. Love that movie ....

3. Trump is Lonesome Rhodes only his followers would not care if he was caught saying those things

Trump would just say it was manufactured and they would buy it.

6. That's right.

4. He constantly reveals himself as lonesome roads

But the republicans just don’t care they love him. That’s where reality is so much sadder than fiction.

5. The movie being referenced to is "A Face In the Crowd"

An mean movie about someone who gains fame for kindness, but it is all fake. Deep down he is a real asshole as this scene shows, when he is accidentally caught on live TV when he is sounding off. Andy Griffith became a star because of this film. 1957
