Trump uses D-Day event to give interview to neo-Nazi sympathizer Laura Ingraham

By Emily Singer -
June 6, 2019

Trump celebrated the 75th anniversary of the start of the fall of the Nazi regime by sitting down for an interview with a neo-Nazi sympathizer.

You can't make this up.

Trump kicked off the celebration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day — the WWII military operation that marked the start of Europe's liberation from Nazi occupation — by sitting down with a neo-Nazi sympathizer, Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

The interview was not announced in advance. Instead, reporters gathered at the event noticed Trump sitting down with Ingraham at the very same time the D-Day anniversary commemoration was set to begin.

Trump's sit-down with Ingraham comes less than a week after she aired a segment sympathizing with and defending neo-Nazi Paul Nehlen — who was booted from multiple social media platforms for anti-Semitic behavior.

CNN's John Berman specifically called Trump out for choosing to reward someone like Ingraham with an interview at the D-Day anniversary celebration.

"Not minutes before he walked on that stage, he sat down for an interview with Laura Ingraham, who in the last few weeks on her show has defended an anti-Semite, Paul Nehlen, who spouts anti-Semitic views and white supremacist views all the time," Berman said.

It's unclear when the interview will air, or what Trump will say. But if he chooses to spout his typical nationalistic, anti-immigrant rhetoric from Normandy, it will be even more of a disgrace.

to the progression of what Ponzi Don is up to. This is one of many lead ins for his MAGA Reelection Campaign Launch on the 4 th.

Watch for another convenient interview latter this month in Eourpe during the G-20 when he gets his review from Putin.

Are we paying attention yet?

This POS is playing the Media like a cheap fiddle. It is all about acsess is it not.

I think this quote is right on. (it was an interview on CNN with Jake Tapper)

SEN. CORY BOOKER: I think, as long as the conversation is about Donald Trump, as long as I can turn on my TV and coast through channels and see him being talked about in every single interview, he's winning.

follows speech patterns and Phrasing,something learned from working a Call Center at on time,well scripted pasterns emerge over time. People pick up certain phrasing and use them in their daily conversations.

A good speech writer or script writer does their best to build in the Hook,or phrase that will snare the listener and keep him or her interested in the dialogue.

Ponzi Don's Handlers appear to have him armed with these hook phases via note cards or oral recordings. Ponzi Boy learned well from his Reality TV show. Lacky and Zucker taught him well.
