Althouse: "Another reason that I’m going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there because without me..."

December 29, 2017

"Another reason that I’m going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there because without me..."

"... their ratings are going down the tubes... Without me, The New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times.... So they basically have to let me win. And eventually, probably six months before the election, they’ll be loving me because they’re saying, ‘Please, please, don’t lose Donald Trump.’ O.K."

That's Donald Trump, talking to a NYT reporter (in an impromptu half-hour interview at the Grill Room after a golf game).

I think Trump is being funny, and we laughed a lot as I read that out loud, but I'm sure Trump haters cry out in horror at the lies and insults.

Drago said...: BTW, did Inga ever address obama attacking the press with his FBI/Intelligence services by spying on reporters and their families?

I'll bet Inga can't wait to get to the story now that she became "fully woke" on that issue about 15 minutes ago.; 12/29/17, 5:06 PM
Drago said...: walter: "What's really crazy is a guy shouting "Lock him up!" at the animatronic Trump at Disney"

When that guy finally crosses a line and gets arrested he can always count on getting Inga to be a prison pen pal.

They will have so many great stories to share with each other. Stories about islamists executing gays, the selling of baby parts to the highest bidders, obama letting Hezbollah finance their terrorist activities by importing drugs into the US, etc.

FullMoon said...: Seems sane to me, too bad Dems would screw their constituents like this:

SCHMIDT: Tell me about that, yeah.

TRUMP: Had they asked, “Let’s do a bipartisan,” Michael, I would have done bipartisan. I would absolutely have done bipartisan.

SCHMIDT: But they didn’t. … They didn’t …

TRUMP: And if I did bipartisan, I would have done something with SALT [the state and local tax deduction]. With that being said, you look back, Ronald Reagan wanted to take deductibility away from states. Ronald Reagan, years ago, and he couldn’t do it. Because New York had a very powerful group of people. Which they don’t have today. Today, they don’t have the same representatives. You know, in those days they had Lew Rudin and me. … I fought like hell for that. They had a lot of very good guys. Lew Rudin was very effective. He worked hard for New York. And we had some very good senators. … You know, we had a lot of people who fought very hard against, let’s call it SALT. Had they come to me and said, look, we’ll do this, this, this, we’ll do [inaudible]. I could have done something with SALT. Or made it less severe. But they were very ineffective. They were very, very ineffective. You understand what I mean. Had they come to me for a bipartisan tax bill, I would have gone to Mitch, and I would have gone to the other Republicans, and we could have worked something out bipartisan. And that could’ve been either a change to SALT or knockout of SALT.

But, just so you understand, Ronald Reagan wanted to take deductibility away and he was unable to do it. Ronald Reagan wanted to have ANWR approved 40 years ago and he was unable to do it. Think of that. And the individual mandate is the most unpopular thing in Obamacare, and I got rid of it. You know, we gained with the individual. … You know the individual mandate, Michael, means you take money and you give it to the government for the privilege of not having to pay more money to have health insurance you don’t want. There are people who had very good health insurance that now are paying not to have health insurance. That’s what the individual mandate. … They’re not going to have to pay anymore. So when people think that will be unpopular. … It’s going to be very popular. It’s going to be very popular.

Now, in my opinion, they should come to me on infrastructure. They should come to me, which they have come to me, on DACA. We are working. … We’re trying to something about it. And they should definitely come to me on health care. Because we can do bipartisan health care. We can do bipartisan infrastructure. And we can do bipartisan DACA.; 12/29/17, 5:23 PM
Inga...Allie Oop said...: “You also realize that collusion isn't illegal, right, Inga?”

Yes, but Conspiracy is.

“One potential charge might be conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, says Barak Cohen, a partner and litigation lead at Perkins Coie in Washington, D.C. Mueller's team could reach for that if there is evidence that Trump associates worked with Russia on the hacking of the Democratic National Committee or the emails of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta.

"I think the special counsel would like to be able to charge them as co-conspirators to the hack or accessories after the fact," Cohen said. "It's the most credible and well-established legal theory."

If Trump associates weren't directly involved in the hacks but, say, knew about them and kept them hidden, then they could be charged as accessories after that fact, Cohen said.”

Right. Before that news consisted entirely of things that could be verified in scientific research labs using sophisticated statistical models that were so top notch as to eliminate the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.

Methinks someone never heard of William Randolph Hearst.; 12/29/17, 5:47 PM
Drago said...: TTR: "Methinks someone never heard of William Randolph Hearst."

Hilarious.

So now Hearst is the model of what the media should be according to the very folks who have been saying his yellow journalism was something to be avoided for decades!

So the guy from the law firm involved with the dossier strings together if's, but's, and could's and that's the substance on which Inga is hanging her hat?

And she has the nerve to say what I wrote was conjecture?; 12/29/17, 6:06 PM
Kevin said...: "It's the most credible and well-established legal theory."

Yes, I believe this is the level the pro-impeachment crowd is working at right now.

We're about a week from Pelosi and Reid working with Trump on immigration and infrastructure such that the media has to start giving him less flack or start attacking them as co-conspirators.; 12/29/17, 6:09 PM

No, Inga is kind of silly and delusional but she is not as angry and obscene as Ritmo. I'm not sure he is as crazy as trumpit but he is nasty and void of any reasoning.

Somebody said he is not a troll but I do wish he would pick one thread to ruin a day.; 12/29/17, 6:58 PM
mockturtle said...: No, Inga is kind of silly and delusional but she is not as angry and obscene

While I haven't read any Inga posts in quite a while, I seem to remember her having a mean streak a mile wide. She has no ideas, she only likes to poke at people--guess it makes her feel important.; 12/29/17, 7:03 PM
Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...: So now Hearst is the model of what the media should be...

Is that what I said?

The issue is not the supposed perfection of the press, much less your tribe's disappointment in science as a provisional, if highly effective form of knowledge as opposed to the "perfect" form of "knowledge" you prefer and find in theology and your political ideology. The issue is Trump's extreme defectiveness as a leader of a society with any hope for rationality.

Ignoring Full Moan and whiny censor Michael corny Kennedy is easier than I thought. I just confine my comments to readers who respect rationality and accept that those two twerps are just playing an emotion game where all that matters is who tunes out what the most. If they want to live in their own bubble where perception is exalted and exists independent of reality then that's fine by me. Not to mention how derivative they are. The right is known for their lack of creativity. No wonder they find reality so boring.; 12/29/17, 7:07 PM

Boo hoo. Stop being a big baby. No one has any obligation to be and say what you want them to. Your arrogance is immense. You have a sense of entitlement of Hillary-sized proportions.

gadfly said...: It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump’s inability to do either. This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence. ~George Will; 12/30/17, 1:52 AM
Gahrie said...: @gadfly:

If the past year is a result of "intellectual sloth" and "an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence" than all I can say is give me more.

Perhaps Trump has proven Buckley's phone book quote to be valid.

Michael K said...: It is interesting to see how Ritmo seems to enjoy the abuse he gets from commenters for ruining rational discussions.

That sounds like masochism.

Gadfly and the other leftists seem to have things they believe to be true that they hope someone else can be convinced of.

Rational arguments can convince others but there are very few in politics these days.

There are lots of conservatives who worried about Trump and many are slowly being convinced he knows what he is doing.

Some are NeverTrumpers but this seems to be a class thing. George Will and the like.

On the left, they seem to be trying to prove to us doubters how intelligent they are.; 12/30/17, 10:09 AM
