...I guess Trump thought it was his "private place" and that everyone would never tell about it. Also, that everyone would be "loyal" to him. That is it. Even though Trump lies about everyone and everybody, he assumes that this "private place" allows him to say what he wants about groups of people and individuals. So, he uses the "N" word and talks about people from Asia in a mean and awful way.
...He doesn't realize what everyone knows, that there are people who would turn on him, just like he turns on those he doesn't like. Why would anyone record this? Because Trump lies so much, that the recordings prove what was said. This recording of voices, (at least most of the time) tells the truth better than Trump.
...His lawyer recorded Trump for a reason, as did the guy who recorded that Trump could grab woman's private parts with no consequences. Someone erased tapes for a reason. Recordings prove the truth. Trump does not like that, because he lies so much. In his "private place" (The White House) with all his loyal people, no one would do anything like that?..Would They? In Trump's "private place."
...Mr. Trump made another mistake, in addition to using language that he should not use. This place is not his "private place." And because of the nature of the show that Trump is staring in now, people wanted proof that the show was what it really was: Trump using language unbecoming what Trump was elected to be.
..Yes, the "True Mr. Trump" comes out in this "private show." And it isn't pretty but this is who he really is.

(81,513 posts)He truly doesn't give a damn about anything but his own self-gratification.

(37,160 posts)He's never been answerable to a boss, he's always been in a position to conduct himself however he pleases. And he respects nothing except people who have his concrete galoshes shoe size on file.

(82,383 posts)anyone. Now he has to answer to the people, and it is a new thing to him, to which he cannot comply. He thought he'd be the boss with political power too. He just doesn't get what the office of the Presidency is, and it is not what he expected.

(38,428 posts)..But here is my feeling and proof of my being "naïve": I believed that on this job, Mr. Trump might make a change and work for the "good" (in some small way)...
This job is one of the most important in the world. I would think Trump might have a different attitude on this particular job. Why?
... Another reason,....This is kind of a service job not a for profit job. Like you are doing a volunteer service on this job to the United States of America....Maybe I thought, Trump would look at it that way.........And..I was totally wrong, and I will admit that. Or maybe that was a hope that he would change some or a little. And it seems to me that he has made no effort to change at all. none.. Zero..!!

(82,383 posts)Back when nothing was recorded. So he thinks he can say inconsistent things and get away with it. He did for a long time and has not adjusted to modern technology.

(82,383 posts)60s and 70s. 80s and 90s. He probably did a lot of this due to his unique liar ability. It is not his age itself. Maybe a lot of 70 years old are adjusting better to modern technology, but they are not in such an office. My point was more that he had decades of being able to get away with it, and so still does it though it can now be easily exposed. He hasn't gotten used to that yet. He might, but he as an individual is too stupid, which he was at every age.

(20,411 posts)and he probably did not do much business in the 50's as he would have been 13 at the turn of the '60's.

(82,383 posts)everyone did not have a tape recorder in the form of an individual cell phone at all times. So likely a lot of people said things they didn't have to worry about being used against them later, as they could always deny. And the Orange One would have been active in the 70s.
This was why lawyers put everything in writing to "confirm" it, even though one could still deny it; just claim they never said that and the lawyer's writing it down did not prove they said it. But to record, you have to get a tape recorder and cassettes.
So likely Donald often did such things. In fact, we know he did as his lawyers did start recording what he said so that he could not deny saying things he said to them later.

(22,130 posts)again, to get the stain of this piece of crap out and the stink out of the air.
How could such a disgusting low life ever be allowed to enter one of the most sacred spots in America? Never again. Never.
I know that we keep harping GOTV and so forth.
But we need to point out to all of the abuses and never ending garbage spewing out of the White House (and the repug Senate, which failed in its duty to the country).
