Confidence Man with Maggie Haberman // The American Story 

And HOW would YOU know that? Mz.Bot?

​@friarnewborg9213 It doesn't take a bot to portray truth. Dunning-Kruger effect is a tsunami in the land... and it wears red hats.

Hilarious and so true! Your comment made me laugh out loud.😂

​@@mortalclown3812 Beautiful comment🥀

@@mortalclown3812 Not really the true nature of the effect but great comment no less.

Trump is the only President who didn't get us into a war. In contrast, Biden got us into Ukraine and Gaza.

If Maggie Haberman’s work is credible- and I think it is- Trump isn’t quite the monster nor quite the superhero that his detractors and his followers would have us think he is. I appreciate the more balanced viewpoint. Mr. Trump is a danger to our democracy, and our experiences with Trump have exposed the dangers of iconoclasts like him. Our task now is to evaluate the weaknesses and create legislation to strengthen the elements that have, till now, been enforced by a sense of honor and responsibility.

You must be a Dem.

​@@Seekthetruth3000what an edgy reply you really nailed them 🤡

The danger to democracy comes from the people who in the name of defending democracy try to keep their political opponents off the ballot.@@susan174

Donald Trump apparently told a half truth about being sent to the military academy for striking his mom. Trump's parents were apparently given a choice between their son being tried for raping a teenager who lived a few blocks away from the family home or they could send him to a military academy to straighten him up & to protect the family name. However, he did hit his mom after she raged at him for being a rapist...

A special ring mission Skyrim style

She is not the only one.

@@AMunoz-rh9czNOPE,,,SHE’S,,,DEFINITELY,,NOT!!?

Bob Woodward would be disappointed in that remark

Absolutely nauseating I actually get sick to my stomach when I hear his voice - he's rotten to the core

Felt? What Trump policies do you take issue with?

@@paullampert6990 Almost all of them!!!! When he left office the economy was in free fall, unemployment ballooned from 4.6% when he took office in 1/17 to 6.3% in 1/21 when he left office. He gave tax cuts to the wealthy (the Top 1%), while actually raising taxes on the middle class over 10 years, he tried to get rid of the ACA without ever proposing any type of plan to replace it, he loaded the supreme court with delusional, right-wing, religious zealots who have now over turned a woman's right to choose which had been the law of the land for the last 50 years, he's the first President in US history to leave office with a record of 2.9 million in jobs LOST during his administration, he constantly appointed totally unqualified idiots who he then fired. He presided over the 3rd highest Presidential deficit in US history while also ballooning the national debt to a staggering 28 trillion adding 10 trillion in ONLY 4 years!!! As a point of comparison Obama was handed a poor economy in free fall from Bush & served 8 years & only added 8 trillion. Trump's entire cabinet was like a revolving door of ill reputes of people in/people out, he's been convicted of sexual assault, he's an idiot that's clearly in cognitive decline. He complained about "election fraud" despite all court cases being dismissed for a lack of ANY evidence supporting that claim!! He called for a "suspension of the Constitution". This is just the tip of the iceberg!!!! Let me know if you need a deep dive on specific facts regarding any particular point.

​@paullampert6990 - All of Trump's policies are bad, because they're based on lies & propaganda. His immigration policy was a disaster. 1. Trump didn't care if you are a refugee, a person seeking employment, or a criminal crossing the border illegally. He treated every immigrant as if they were all criminals. 2. His policy of separating minor immigrant children from their parents was illegal, immoral, dehumanizing, & emotionally traumatizing for both the children & their parents. It was also a public relations disaster for Trump. There was nothing he could do or say to make the policy seem good. Over 5,000 families were separated before the policy was ended. Of course, the parents got lawyers & sued the US government in federal court. To prevent the court from imposing a massive money judgment against the US in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the Biden administration has agreed to reunite the families, & pay for counseling, medical care, housing, education, work permits for the parents, & yes, a pathway to legal status so the families can stay in this country, probably as resident aliens, temporary protected status or refugee status (short of citizenship). Shall I name another of Trump's policies that was a complete disaster, or have you had enough?

@@paullampert6990 Personally, all of them.

A national disgrace as much as an embarrassment, if not more so, depending on your point of view.

oh sleepy joe is a real role model , he has not done one thing right

He's a national disgrace. The embarrassment is that he's not already in jail.

Interesting comment. I’d like to know more.

It doesn't matter. People in his cult support him BECAUSE he's terrible, not in spite of it.

And?

Trump supports violence, racism, cheating. He sold country to foreign on the sake of his own interest.

Careful with your words

@@canadiancontent352 F Donald Jailbird Trump! Nothin to be careful about here!🤨🇺🇸

@@canadiancontent352 Very good and appropriate choice of words to describe a malignant narcissist.

@grantsmythe8625 this type of language dehumanizes your opponents, your enemy, your foe, the world does not need more of this

@@canadiancontent352 Malignant narcissists are not fully human, if being fully human requires loving other human beings and being freely loved by them, requires a sense of morality, requires the ability to appreciate beauty without planning to screw, sell, manipulate, abuse or buy it. Walking upright is not, eo ipso, a guarantee of humanity.

No,as Haberman shows he fits in with how many not just white Americans think or think wout depth or really scrutinize facts. It's tragic since it has allowed many freedoms being killed. Crazy Americans want no free voting ,thinking books,no gays,no CentralAmericans,no black power,no subversive politicizing.

Yet Biden is so much worse.

@@Logiconfire, you're in a cult.

because there are people who are greedy in our country, for one, and because there are hateful people who can relate to trumps actions and ways. They see themselves in him.

Don't be so cruel! Comic books are still books. 😆

he could write ART of the STEAL

😅he did not write the art of the steal, Toni Swartz (I no I misspelled his last name) Wrote it. He said the only book he ever saw in his apartment was Hitlers.

@@lisa408t how many times did the news media report this? They cut corners to get their stories quickly on air, so they’re easy to fool. Then they fool the rest of us. Trump knew this and used the media to spread disinformation.

I don't doubt it. He did want to.go.intp cinema, after all. Daddy didn't want that though.

​@lisa408t Probably had to sign an NDA.

Trump understands that his base really wants their Forth Reich here in America and they are willing to go to prison or die for it....

Yes. I agree. M. Hagerman does an excellent job. Absolutely great delivery. Very succinctly done, as always.

Well, they sure did their research and made a smart choice.

Good information

Why were they classified?

the man has no redeeming qualities..

This disgusting and full of lies man has no soul...it's all about him and what he can grift from the country.

He is still not likeable. He is still a criminal. A rapist. A liar. A fraud. Kinda like Jim Jones.

Malignant narcissist.

And Sociopath also.

Sadist

And a sadist. Nothing thrills him to the marrow, as when he engineers the destruction of an adversary's livelihood.

Next President.

While he was president she wrote mostly in his favor in exchange for access. There is also some employment connection with one of her relatives. Conflict of interest.

I've been saying this ever since I heard he was a constitutional expert!

@@stephanietribuna8591 The Democratic national committee is too ignorant to know how to communicate with its communities. They run around with a coffee cup in one hand and the résumé in the other sucking up for the next job.

There is another good one is where's my Roy Cohn.

I believe in one of those programs one of the congressional committees was questioning Mccarthys budget, ie : travel expenses, and staff. One of the staff members in question was Cohn’s boy toy. If you watch closely when they’re asking McCarthy why this other gentleman was needed to travel with the group, Cohn is literally squirming in his seat, getting REAL nervous, perspiring, as if he were about to be outed. The guy was a complete jerk. Trump’s main course of action when on defense is to delay delay delay , the ultimate Cohn strategy. His hypocrisy while they went after commies and homosexuals reminds me of another hypocrite: Newt Gingrich, the big headed pioneer who started the fall of a once good, party of Lincoln. Taking on Clinton while doing the same damn thing and the soul of a weasel when asking his cancer stricken wife to sign divorce papers as she lay in recovery after surgery related to terminal cancer. N The end result: serial liars like Stefanik, cro magnon species like Marge Greene, Bobo the theatre pole dancer, Gym rat Jordan, Beavis Gaetz to name a few. My God can you see the look on Ike’s face during one of the so called “ hearings “ the traveling circus held last year? All to gain nothing,? I can only think of that excellent movie my kids loved so much “ the greatest showman” with 45 and his cast of undesirables as the lawmakers the right is electing to Congress. Wow!

Thanks - Just downloaded and can't wait to watch evil in action.

They won't even say he was sent to Military school to keep him away from his sisters. She hedged on that one.

There’s a reason his grades are buried.

​@@JB-uv4hm That's true, but there has to be someone out there who's able to get that information out . Not that it's going to sway many of his supporters because most of them are lower IQer's too 🤭

Everyone but the cult disciples know that already.

He payed someone to take his SAT exams because he couldn’t pass them. He has always been stupid.

Agree! Also, Rubinstein does not appear to be using any notes; and he doesn't appear to be reading from a teleprompter. He is so articulate and fluent; no hesitation when he's asking questions -- did he memorize the questions beforehand?

They NEVER mention the most important part about trump, he's a malignant narcissist. How any discussion of trump doesn't talk about this is amazing to me!

@@jcsrst Maggie is not a trained Psychiatrist, by her own admission, so she's going to be cautious about making any diagnosis. Mary Trump, Donald's niece, is better positioned as a psychologist to comment on this aspect...

@@georgeschaut2178 True but there's nothing stopping her from saying what Mary has said. Also no mention of the 10,000 plus lies. This is how bad behavior becomes normalized, when good people say nothing.

Thank you. I did the same but from the West Coast.

The podcast Trump Inc is very enlightening

Trump has judgement. Bad judgement.

But will L45 get cold when hell freezes over like it has in the courtroom? 😂

Dementia causes the same reading difficulties.

Donald disgraced our nation and its people before the eyes of the world

When you blind yourself you can't see anything.

Trump's statement indeed sparked controversy because it appeared to prioritize the denial of Russian interference from President Putin over the assessment of the United States intelligence community. Despite being briefed by top officials, including Dan Coats, who affirmed Russia's involvement in the election interference, Trump's remarks seemed to indicate a preference for Putin's denial. This perceived siding with Putin over the consensus within the U.S. intelligence community raised concerns and led to widespread criticism. Critics argued that Trump's stance undermined confidence in American intelligence agencies and appeared to weaken the United States' position in confronting Russia's actions. Additionally, it fueled speculation about Trump's relationship with Putin and raised questions about his approach to handling Russia's interference in U.S. affairs.
