Morning Joke played part of the 'John Miller' tape this morning, lol.

Not sure why they played it, probably because of the lies 'about getting calls from lots of people.'

For those who don't know, the Orange One used to call up reporters as John Miller or John Barron and act as his own PR person.

One of those interviews with 'John Miller' was preserved on tape from 1991. In it he describes getting calls about lots of women who want to go out with 'Trump' but when pressed can't name any:

then, from what I've seen.

I mean if you really listen to the circular reasoning, the nonstop bullshitting, the word salad, the weird fucking views, ego and inappropriateness, it's all there... but he managed to make it hang together better back then, I think.

He was able to bluster through and make it sound like he was a "confident, successful, no nonsense business guy", to some extent.

Whatever is wrong with his brain; and it may be a few things, who knows- it seems to have gotten precipitously worse.

She's the lady that wrote Melanoma's convention speech, as I'm sure you'll recall.

To feel embarrassed and mortified. "No apologies" should be etched on his tombstone.

the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is a lying, cheating dipstick.

And this is who the republicans choose as a "family values" role model for their children? Sick.

wouldn't she have recognized his voice? Was she just going along with the farce because she was getting good information?
