This past week, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos spent what had to be an agonizing 30 hours with Trump in order to put together a special interview that is set to air this Sunday. During the course of that time, the two spoke of all sorts of things, including UFO’s, apparently, but the one thing that has shocked pretty much everyone on the planet was when Trump admitted wholeheartedly that he would accept dirt on his opponents from foreign governments and might not alert the FBI.
Watch:
Since then, Trump and his entire staff, as well as his die-hard followers in Congress, have been scrambling to explain that statement away, but they are having very little luck as Democrats are getting closer and closer to an impeachment decision. Trump isn’t making himself look any better for it, either — he’s been ranting about it on Twitter for days now.
He just can’t seem to stop, and tonight he made it even worse for himself while trying to hype the upcoming interview. He wants everyone to know that he “enjoyed” his time with Stephanopoulos, but couldn’t help trying ONCE AGAIN to explain away his damning statement and blame the “fake news media” for all of it.
I enjoyed my interview with @GStephanopoulos on @ABC. So funny to watch the Fake News Media try to dissect & distort every word in as negative a way as possible. It will be aired on Sunday night at 8:00 P.M., and is called, “President Trump: 30 Hours” (which is somewhat….

….misleading in that I personally spent only a small fraction of that time doing interviews. I do have a few other things to do, you know!). Think I will do many more Network Interviews, as I did in 2016, in order to get the word out that no President has done what I have in…

…..the first 2 1/2 years of his Presidency, including the fact that we have one of the best Economies in the history of our Country. It is called Earned Media. In any event, enjoy the show!

Sorry, Mr. “President,” but only the most idiotic of your base are still buying what you’re selling right now, and the reactions prove it.
Look at what the Twitterverse had to say tonight:
Sunday’s ABC News program is sure to have the highest ratings ever, and I’m willing to bet money that the “president” will be bragging about that immediately after it airs. He literally told us in his last tweet of that thread to “enjoy the show!” My popcorn will be ready, but it won’t be because he’s the greatest “president” the world has ever seen, as he likes to remind us. No — it will be because I can’t wait to watch him admit to the world that he has no problem with collusion.
