Why is he blaming Lester Holt for what he said in that interview

[malaise]

Don the Con needs to removed from office- - this is beyond pathological lying - this is lunacy on steroids.
Lock him Up!

[sarcasmo]

1. #SenileGrandpa is nervous.

[malaise]

3. Nervous

Terrified - obstruction of justice coming up.

[DownriverDem]

45. Because

he's saying all those insane things to pump up his ignorant voters. It's all about them.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. There was NO editing of Trump by Lester Holt.....

This is insane. We have seen this exchange so many times, we have it memorized.

Trump is losing it because he admitted why he fired Jim Comey. Trump committed Obstruction of Justice.

[malaise]

4. 100% correct

Guilty
Lock hi. Up.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

37. Also, trump told Russians Sergei Lavrov, Sergey Kislyak,

.... during a meeting in the Oval Office [May 10, 2017] “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Trump said, according to a document that summarized the meeting. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. [Rolling Stone]

During said meeting [ on May 10] with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, Trump began describing details about an Islamic State terror threat, according to current and former U.S. officials. [Washingto Post]

[Turbineguy]

5. Trump has no filter.

He can't keep himself from confessing.

[DUgosh]

6. NBC needs to file a lawsuit

Today

[malaise]

8. NBC needs to cover this over and over ll day

This is madness

[sarcasmo]

14. I would run the Lester Holt/Trump interview on a loop all weekend.

[malaise]

15. Yes

Over and over

[DownriverDem]

46. Question

What is the old English D you have there mean? For it's the Detroit Tigers logo.

[mercuryblues]

49. I think so

It is in the Avatar list under sports.

Go to my profile. scroll down and clit on Avatar- edit

a list will appear, click on the subject and choose your avatar

[sarcasmo]

57. Yes it's the Tigers logo.

[Mr.Bill]

40. They won't have time.

I think we still have several more days of worshiping John McCain to go through.

[Guilded Lilly]

7. It is apparent that The Cretin is beyond sanity.

[padah513]

9. Spaghetti-slingin'

[WestIndianArchie]

10. I don't know

Maybe he's cornered like a rat

[malaise]

11. Ding ding

We have a winner.

[marble falls]

12. Whatever you do: do not look Lester Holt directly into his eyes ....

I'm still paying for magazines I never ordered!

[GeorgeGist]

13. "What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening,"

Trump said.

[Boomerproud]

17. I didn't say what I said

Trump says.

[murielm99]

24. Only Yogi Berra can get away with this,

and have it be the truth.

[kimbutgar]

16. He is having a psychotic break down remembering things from a year ago

I sincerely think he is having a psychotic break now from the stress of the job, knowing mueller has the goods on him and people leaving his administration. The ethics guy leaving is another big slap.

[maxsolomon]

34. Naw, he's always been exactly like this.

The curtain is being drawn back.

[smb]

41. I Think Dementia Is Setting In nt

[kimbutgar]

43. My mother had dementia and got real paranoid as she started going down.

But what is going on with the orange maggot is more deranged and psychotic. Scary that he has the levers of power in this country, a cult of zealous followers and able to set off a nuke by pressing a red button.

[DownriverDem]

47. Don't forget

the repubs in DC who only care about winning in November. They are afraid of trump and repub voters.

[FM123]

18. Because he is criminally insane!

(I know, I know, I'm not a lawyer or a psychologist just a regular person, but he sure looks that way to me)

[YessirAtsaFact]

28. Because he's a pathological liar

[Caliman73]

33. No he is not.

Criminally insane means that he does not understand the difference between right and wrong or the concept of cause and effect or consequences, because of some mental defect.

Trump simply does not care about right and wrong and has rarely suffered consequences so he believes that they are for "other people" to suffer, not him.

Trump is sane. He is just a disgusting person who doesn't have a properly functioning ethical or moral compass.

Saying he is insane is giving him an excuse. He needs to pay for his behaviors because he is doing them with a purpose.

[NewJeffCT]

48. good point

he has skated by his entire 72 or so years and never suffered any serious consequences - he bribed his way out of an investigation in Florida by giving Pam Bondi (future AG or White House counsel?) a $25,000 bribe. I'm sure he's done that elsewhere as well - I think a judge in NY got money and probably others as well.

[Caliman73]

54. I know that the DA looking to prosecute his kids got a bunch of money.

Trump is a sociopath. He has little empathy or connection to others. From a mental health perspective, he probably had an emotionally difficult upbringing, not being shown any affection or attachment by his parents. That does leave a deep emotional mark on people. What I was trying to differentiate however, was that he is not insane. He knows what he is doing. His motives are really messed up. With all of his money however, he should have gone to therapy and dealt with his psychological problems instead of inflicting the consequences on the rest of us.

[FM123]

58. I hear what you're saying....

He may not be criminally insane, but he sure is criminally something!

[Caliman73]

59. I think the word is plain and simply Criminal

He is a Criminal. His money has allowed him to avoid prison. Trump is a sociopath, which is different from a psychopath. Psychopaths are the cold, calculating, charismatic people who end up being discovered to have stolen billions or killed many people.

Sociopaths are typically emotionally unstable people who also steal or kill, but they typically end up being caught, and they don't amount to much because they are lead by their emotions. That is Trump, except he was born wealthy. He has lost much of his wealth, but has been able to maintain some portion of it, though he is likely in serious debt. He has been able to avoid prison because he has resources to pay for legal representation. If he were middle or working class, he would have been in jail a long time ago.

He is a criminal, but this country favors wealth so he has never had any Real consequences.

[oasis]

19. Maybe Trump is counting on Project Veritas to bail him out

with a secret video of Holt editing the interview tape in his basement.

[NastyRiffraff]

20. He's being mocked by an expert:

Link to tweet

The very dishonest @LesterHoltNBC got caught “red-handed” publishing the FULL VERSION of his interview with me. This unedited version made it look like I obstructed justice by firing Comey cuz of RUSSIA. Why doesn’t he publish the tape where that part is edited out?! WITCH HINT!!
7:27 AM - 30 Aug 2018

I've been fooled by this guy on Twitter. He's very good.

[gratuitous]

21. Maybe he's trying to monkey things up

I mean, confuse the issue. Yeah, I didn't mean that other thing you thought you just heard me say. Because I didn't say it. And I know what you thought you heard me say about Holt and Gillum, but I really said "upstart," not that other word that I totally didn't say.

[pnwest]

22. Have you not been paying attention? NOTHING

is his fault, he’s the victim in all situations. EVERYTHING BAD is someone else’s fault.

[lpbk2713]

23. Hoping the hardcore Trumpbots will buy it.

But their number dwindles with each passing day.

[FakeNoose]

25. Raise your hand for the Free Press

[Thekaspervote]

27. Raising my hand!!! Both of them

[Thekaspervote]

26. Let's hope he continues in the same vain... something eventually has got to stick!!

[FakeNoose]

30. At least we've got his mental breakdown on the record

... for all to see. This will be preserved as evidence for posterity too.
They'll be studying this shit in neurology science for years to come.

[maxrandb]

29. Because his supporters are fucking stupid enough to believe his dumbass shit.

You've got 10's of millions of kids all across America wishing their parents and teachers were as fucking stupid as Donnie Shit for Brains voters.

[Le Gaucher]

31. Its all in preparation of an 'insanity' defense

When lawyers for Donald claim that Trump has mental issues .. That will be very believable.

[djacq]

32. Was Lester twisting his arm when he confessed?

[link:

|

[Owens]

35. It's all about controlling the narrative

And it's working, his followers believe in the deep state shit so of course, they are going to believe this - it's really edited. As Giuliani said, the truth is not the truth. SMH.

[Racerdog1]

36. This Piece Of Shit tRump

Can't die soon enough.

[smb]

44. No, No, No...

...I want to see him live to be a hundred and twenty -- BEHIND BARS where he belongs.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. Donnie Two Scoops said it wasn't his voice on the Access Hollywood tape

even after we saw him get off the bus immediately after making the statements, and he admitted it, and he apologized for it.

How stupid does he think his base is?

Oh, that's right -- pretty stupid.

[Jarqui]

39. He has to try to discredit it because

it is pretty close to a confession he committed a crime.

He's feeling the heat as his employees, associates and friends have turned into a pack of flapjacks and are letting the truth out that he had captivated for the last 50 plus years of his life.

It is a serious unravelling because he is :
- looking at being disgraced around the world into leaving office via impeachment
- looking at spending a bunch of time in prison
- looking at losing all if not a bunch of his fortune through clawbacks of things like back taxes, fines and lawsuit settlements
- looking at his children going to jail
- and maybe least of all of his worries, looking at another divorce that will be massively expensive

I hope he gets what should be coming to him.

[Iggo]

51. This.

[uponit7771]

56. +1, and it doesn't play well at all with his base. They still don't think he's not a Russian agent

[RedSpartan]

42. More videos and audio are coming.

He's priming the pump to say they are fake. They won't be.

[Iggo]

50. My guess: That's the first provable instance of obstruction. (n/t)

[.99center]

52. "Trump knows Republicans are stupid and they'll buy it."

https://www.independent.co.uk/News/world/americas/jared-kushner-donald-trump-lied-base-stupid-voters-supporters-president-son-in-law-white-house-a7764791.html

“When I was the editor of the New York Observer, Kushner and I were going back and forth about how the paper should cover him,” Elizabeth Spiers wrote in a post on Twitter.

“I told Jared that I was particularly appalled by his father-in-law’s birtherism stance, which I viewed as cynical and racist.

"He rolled his eyes and said ‘He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it’”.

[DinahMoeHum]

53. Does it really need to be said? Alas, yes.

Lester Holt is African-American.

[CanonRay]

55. A) Nothing is ever his fault

B) He can blame the media and his cult will believe him over their lying eyes and ears.

[nclib]

60. Well obviously Lester Holt used some sort of mind trick on trump.
