there’s a reason Little Donny Fuckface runs to the warm, comforting embrace of Fox News and Newsmax whenever he gets the hankering to get his big, dumb pumpkin face on TV. these compliant propagandists understand that Donny is a Very Special Boy who gets to say Anything He Wants, without contradiction.

sir! sir! enthuses Sean Hannity, tears of gratitude pooling in his eyes, no one has ever explained with such clarity how migrants are EATING THE DAWGS. sir! how do you do it? sir! sir! coos Maria Bartiromo, readying the Kleenex box for her inevitable torrent of tears. thank you so much for alerting us to the dangers of the radical Marxist Democrats who want to destroy America.

Donny hates being fact-checked. unfair, so unfair. that’s why he turned tail and ran when 60 Minutes came knocking. it’s why he refused to participate in a second debate with Kamala Harris — even when Fox New offered to host one. just yesterday, Donny canceled an already-scheduled morning appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” show.

which is why it’s surprising that Chicken Donny actually sat for an interview with Bloomberg News’ John Micklethwait — a no-nonsense British journalist with zero tolerance for clownfuckery. when Donny shit the bed, Micklethwait was unafraid to point out that you, sir, are rolling around in a pile of feces. it was awesome to behold — awesome and refreshing.

Micklethwait: “Business people, the capital markets, they all like the rule of law. If you look at the events of January 6, 2021, it showed to many people America’s democracy was unruly and violent. With only three weeks to go to the election, will you commit now to respecting and encouraging a peaceful transfer of power?”

Donny: “Well, you had a peaceful transfer of power.”

Micklethwait: “You had a peaceful transfer of power compared to Venezuela.”

1. Yes, whole piece is great

Thank you.

2. Trump and Vance date the transfer as Jan. 20. Anything before that doesn't count in their narrative.

5. I actually think because

They didn't stay there and shoot the Bidens as they tried to enter.... thats what t thinks is a peaceful transfer.

We could break that day down into many different dishes, humiliation. And crimes, but it seems like we're the only ones who care.

3. Worth the read and thanks

4. MFer did fine in that interview. He had no intention of providing substantive answers.

He can't, and he doesn't think he needs to.

His intent was:
1. say whatever he wanted to say about whatever, topics be damned.
2. to be seen "standing up" to a journalist/smart person.
3. attack the press at large.

[calimary]

9. Yep. It's a shame that he gets so many vehicles to push his bullshit.

My wish would be - never to have to hear that whiny, gravelly voice EVER again.

NEVER EVER!!!

[peppertree]

6. It's sad - but most U.S. media interviews sound like a Haiku poem, compared to British interviews

I asked what and why;
he changed subject.
I turn page and ask softball.

7. There's also this: "Can you tell me the reason why you haven't answered the question?"

[peppertree]

8. Oh, yeah. That's like Holy Water to most of these presstitutes.

Heaven forbid they "lose access."

[calimary]

10. THAT'S the ticket. They want, need, and whore themselves for access.

The almighty ACCESS.

“Well, we gotta get quotes from him, major-party candidate, big-ass pop-culture figure, dominates internet and all interviewers …” and the free showcase madness drags on.

And pretty soon, viewers and listeners just become inured. Overwhelmed. Driven not to care that much anymore. The “let’s just get this OVER WITH” crowd.

But with the donald, it’s NEVER over with. Never. And so few interviewers really take him on. Few follow-up questions. Few attempts to seriously question the shit he spews NONSTOP. I don’t understand why he’s even still a contender.
