Listened to Trump's press conference on NPR on the way to work this a.m. and it make me think what a contrast to Obama.
To me Obama sounds altruistic and ethereal without really saying anything of substance.
Trump sounds more genuine.
MSM fake news apparently has some influence on me because I'm always surprised at how much better Trump sounds when he's actually serious than I expect.
Dunno, we'll see I guess. I wish Trump would give up responding to irrelevant, insignificant celebrity criticism with tweets though. I find it immature.
You do know what 'substance' means? Right?
Substance:
"If I had told you eight years ago that America would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history - if I had told you that we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban people, shut down Iran's nuclear weapons program without firing a shot, take out the mastermind of 9-11 - if I had told you that we would win marriage equality and secure the right to health insurance for another 20 million of our fellow citizens - if I had told you all that, you might have said our sights were set a little too high....But that's what we did. That's what you did. You were the change. The answer to people's hopes and, because of you, by almost every measure, America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started." President Obama
And to compare here is Trump's BS:
"Sue Carswell, the only other voice on the tape, told Fox's Megyn Kelly that Trump had to be the source. Had Carswell wanted to make news, she could have sold a piece with her byline about the I99I interview and Trump's subsequent confession that he was Miller. Kelly asked Carswell what explanation Trump had offered her in his confession that he was John Miller. "He had no explanation," Carswell said. "He just moved the conversations along." She added that Trump then proposed. that he, herself, Maples, and a People editor go out, which they did.
That Trump might put out a tape and then deny his own voice may seem beyond belief to many people, or at least like something a reporter could benefit from making up. But it makes perfect sense to journalists who are accustomed to publicists dishing on clients or defense lawyers revealing troubling information about defendants. That's the strategy: get bad news out, muddle it, and hope people do not get a clear appreciation of the facts.
One more telling detail shows that Trump was not honest when he spoke to Guthrie on - the Today Show. The Washington Post explicitly asked Trump about the John Miller episode just before publishing its report. "The phone went silent, then dead," the newspaper reported. "When the reporters called back and reached Trump's secretary, she said, <I heard you got disconnected. He can't take the call now. 1 don't know what happened.'" from 'The Making of Donald Trump' by David Cay Johnston, p151
You are aware that Trump lied about 911 and cheering too?
