I'm so worried I'm going to return to America in July and will have already missed the entire Trump presidency. :ohdear:

Good luck!


Pretty hosed up to think that a paper would have a guest contributor write a human interest story.

He's been cited in like dozens of articles on the washington post website specifically because he wrote the trump book and none of those quotations are anything more than 'uhh, well this guy is an expert, so you better listen to him'. it's kind of weird that you would have a bunch of separate people cite the exact same, not very good source repeatedly and then give that guy an article where he can spill the beans on why he's actually not a garbage source

they think that guy is good dirt on trump, because he has an official sounding authorship, even though he is no more qualified than any of those "journalists" to write about the trump presidency. do you know what ghostwriting entails? the guy didn't follow trump around. the guy probably only had two or three conversations with the guy - in 1985

If Pence gets in, all the news companies tripping over themselves to get their Trump zingers in now will just be saying how "presidential" Mike Pence is while he's starting wars and defunding planned parenthood.

you see thats the problem. Pence is an ideologist while trump is just an idiot that likes power and shining stuff. I'd rather have an idiot in charge, not a normal loving corrupt politician. goddamnit CNN and Buzzfeed, you're about to tank your loving ratings and you don't even know it.

Can you imagine being a part of Trump's administration and, after he gets out of a meeting, trying to figure out what he said or what the meeting was about before it leaks to the press, relying on his broken brain?

"So how did the meeting go? Any bumps or...?"
"Great, just the best. The meeting was beautiful. Great enthusiasm."

I spent nearly a year hanging around Trump to write his first book, “The Art of the Deal,” and got to know him very well. I spent hundreds of hours listening to him, watching him in action and interviewing him about his life.

the point of contention isn't that he's actually doing the things its that it's framed so those thing are apocalyptic and quite franky none of us really know the inner machinations of the state department or deep government to really know if the framing in which a bunch of openly biased journalists use is based on reality or some made up crap for ratings

like oh yeah trump is fuckin up. i believe it. but to what degree and to what end is the question, and like hell i'm gonna trust a bunch of morons indulging trump's reality TV fantasy

I don't see where in the WaPo article the author references the apocalypse or anything about world-ending consequences.

I can accept him admitting that he was the ghost writer and he made up a load of poo poo (much of it at Trump's urging, allegedly) for a pay cheque, and accept that he did indeed do what he said and followed Trumpster around for ages so may have some insights on the angry jar of bees that passes for his brain. Splashing your name all over the papers with these sorts of lies would be a good way to get sued for libel, and that seems a pointless risk to take when dealing with 2 scoops, the blundering piss baby who can't go one day without self-owning. Scepticism is good and cool, but I'm comfortable taking those articles at face value until there's contradictory evidence. Post it if you got it, either way it'll be funny and that's what this thread is about.

the legal definition of libel in this country specifically excludes public figures unless you can prove in a court of law that the publication in question acted with reckless abandon and the burden of proof for that is so high that it effectively means you can't litigate defamation against public figures, especially someone as public as the president

the same publications we're talking about here asserted not four months ago that the president had a bunch of hookers piss on him
