Trump called Fox News correspondent into Oval Office to argue he wasn't wrong about Alabama

[spanone]

ONE. SICK. FUCK.

(CNN)Fox News senior White House correspondent John Roberts had just finished his 3 p.m. live shot on Thursday when President Donald Trump beckoned him into the Oval Office.

The President had one argument to make, according to an internal Fox email Roberts sent about the meeting provided to CNN.

"He stressed to me that forecasts for Dorian last week had Alabama in the warning cone," Roberts wrote. "He insisted that it is unfair to say Alabama was never threatened by the storm."

Roberts' analysis of the meeting was that the President was "just looking for acknowledgment that he was not wrong for saying that at some point, Alabama was at risk -- even if the situation had changed by the time he issued the tweet" on Sunday morning, in which he said the state "will most likely be hit." The President also provided Roberts with graphics to make his points.

[A HERETIC I AM]

1. My family owned Boston Terriers when I was younger

And my avatar pic is of my last one.

Bostons, like most bulldog breeds, will grab onto something - a toy, a piece of rope, whathaveyou, and not let go, and will hold on with such tenacity that you can lift them very high off the ground.

Trumpy is like a bulldog that has grabbed something and won't let it go, but now that thing has him dangling over a cliff, and as such, HE CAN'T LET GO NO MATTER WHAT.

Of course, the primary difference between Trumpy and a Bulldog is Bully's and Terriers have charm and dignity.

[enough]

8. And so far, not one of them is President of the United States. Nt

[volstork]

45. I'd vote for one, though

If it ran against trump.

[Demovictory9]

47. Me too

[Mars and Minerva]

54. Especially if he promises to bite him on the ass on day one! nt

[Hekate]

39. I met a Boston Terrier once in a dog obedience class. OMG. His owner was a young woman ...

....who simply could not master him. She must have fallen in love with an adorable lively puppy, right? Terrier puppies as a class are so cute and smart I understand the temptation.

But the dog I met was solid muscle with a brain to match. That young woman needed to find him another home with someone like you, and I hope she did, because I think he would have been fine in other hands. She needed to start over with a breed that just lives to please, like maybe a Sheltie.

Your dog hanging from the branches is a very handsome boy, btw.

[CanonRay]

55. The only dog bite I ever got

was from a Boston Terrier.

[Iliyah]

2. Shithole cares

nothing about Bahamas and the areas which have and still are being affected by Dorian. He is insane. He, the Republican party, and the rest of the enablers are destroying the United States of America.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Shitler took over $400 million from Puerto Rico for his insane wall

He can't take from the Bahamas, so no reason for him to acknowledge they have trouble.

[HipChick]

3. It's really eating him alive..

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. He is a marvelous example of severe obsessive behavior.

Which give us a look into how desperate he is to protect his threatened ego. He cannot act in any other manner, we've all seen that from day one.

Actually, he is not the only nut to run a country, but the others ran their countries into the ground, in the end.

Hope we are not going that far down.

[Blue_true]

29. That behavior is his Waterloo. The only question is whether our candidate that faces him in 2020

recognize that and takes advantage of it.

[Generic Brad]

36. This is the same behavior he's always had

Central Park Five - proven innocent but he still insists they were guilty.
Amanda Knox - innocent but he still insists she’s guilty.
President Obama - proven to be American but he still insists he’s Kenyan.

[Blue_true]

40. And in all cases, our side danced around his lies instead of pushing them back

into his face. President Obama let the birther bullshit fester until he had to try to quell it with a copy of his birth certificate, but by then it had taken on a life of it's own. Hillary made no direct mention of the cases where Trump had cheated people or outright walked away from paying debts, even pennies on the dollar repayment. When our side does not directly confront Trump, he slithers by us.

[Botany]

52. Trump is nutz. He should have just let it go.

[malaise]

4. Well if we're using spagetti models that are days off

Jamaica was in danger too

[underpants]

7. And Bowling Green no doubt

🕯

[malaise]

11. I've never seen anything this ridiculous

he was wrong plain and simple.

[underpants]

14. My wife said everyone EVERYONE at her work was talking about it

even the people who support that goon just shook their heads at him.

[malaise]

15. You don't fuck with serious weather

particularly when you should be calming the people on the East coast

[HipChick]

28. Can't rely on that POS

for anything....I wonder who he will find to take blame for Sharpie marking...as a matter of fact Kelly Ann Conway should be trotting out soon supporting this madness

[Mike Nelson]

5. Forget whether or not this...

... is true. The fact that Trump can't leave the topic is the real problem. He's getting worse in this area and there is nobody who can tell him, "STOP! Stop talking about this topic!"

[Blue_true]

30. His tendency is how our nominee destroys him in 2020. nt

[Haggis for Breakfast]

42. The Brits have a wonderful expression,

It's "Drop the Dead Donkey."

The American equivalent is "Stop beating a dead horse."

FFS, MOVE ON already.

[underpants]

6. God gawd man. GIVE IT UP

[Arazi]

25. No way. He needs to keep chewing on this - it perfectly exposes his cray cray

This delusional obsession is tough to justify or explain, even for #Cult45. It's so obviously demented, and too many people have senior folks in their lives on this path, it's pretty hard to wave it off

[ReformedGOPer]

44. exactly. Our nominee should exploit his unwillingness to ever admit he was wrong. Something small,

something relatively inconsequential ....and let his craziness shine.

[TeamPooka]

9. what a small pathetic man.

[Girard442]

10. What does it take to convince people he's lost it?

Does he have to take out his tiny dingus and shake it at one of his rallies?

[Kaiserguy]

41. Given some of the T Shirts

that I have seen in picture of his hate festivals I suspect his cult followers would be fine with it !

[Downtown Hound]

12. It's pathetic, sad, scary, and outright hilarious all at the same time

the extent to which he will just not let this go.

[Yonnie3]

13. He was wrong when he said it!

What the fuck difference does it make if it would have been correct two days earlier? It was dead wrong when he said it.

If Dumfuck Donnie had paid attention to the briefing he was attending, he would have known things had changed in the forecast. My guess is that he didn't pay attention and had a cheat sheet with notes for his "impromptu" comments. This was prepared by an aide to help him appear presidential. Instead of thanking them for the briefing and simply saying let me know what else you need. He has to show everyone how "smart" and "in control/on top of the situation" he is. I'd give him an FAIL on this one (and many more).

Why can't he just say "I'm sorry I gave outdated information"?

You have the answer above "ONE. SICK. FUCK."

[barbtries]

16. what is the pathology

that causes him to latch on to this issue? it's bizarre even for trump, who lies and misstates things on the daily, gets called out all the time on his lies, to chase this one down so singlemindedly. wrong of course. but...?

and i never do that. i never wonder why this man does shit. i had him pegged going down the escalator. but this, i don't get. there must be something in the DSM to explain it.

[durablend]

17. It's simple

Aside from the inability to admit he was....what's that word....starts with a W?, he needs this to pwn the "fake media" and "teh libs"

[barbtries]

18. that's what he's going to claim regardless.

it seems in this case he somehow believes it. like he's going to make this case and not only will his breathless, brainless cult believe it, we all will! Fake News will repent. He will be exonerated, proven to be right. and that's not going to happen.

i think it's an indication of his continuing decline. he's getting worse.

[gratuitous]

26. As always, the Wisdom of the Fonz . . .

[uponit7771]

20. He thinks he's losing knowledge authority among his cult. He's already lost it among adults

[Ilsa]

24. Narcissism.

One big aspect of narcissism is the lack of accountability. They think they are never wrong, and it becomes part of their be,ief system, their reality. He's a pathological narcissist.

[barbtries]

35. that's not new though.

this dogged insistence to this extreme is new. or maybe i just never noticed before.

[Ilsa]

37. I think he might have been distracted in previous

instances. Nowadays, he's not doing much of anything presidential, from what I can see.

[barbtries]

38. that may be it.

i think it reflects a general worsening of his mental/psychological state. I really do. I think on top of his multiple pathologies (NPD and other personality disorders, sociopathy, etc), he has dementia. there's just sort of a laser focus on this particular faux pas that he cannot let go. he's done much worse than give erroneous information. he could have said nothing and it would be over, but now it's his reaction to the reaction that amplifies the story, which is not a pretty one.

[dixiegrrrrl]

56. A couple things are different now vs. his high roller days

He's always had symptoms, altho they may have been mistaken for neuroses.
And he was a big loud fish in a lush but small pond, compared to now.
back then, few people openly challenged his behavior. He bought off/ sued the ones that did, so he had some illusion of control over protecting his "brand".

It don't work that way at a national level. Too many eyes, too far from his control.

I can imagine that the psychological stress being a long tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs
is increasing the progression of his mental problems.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. Whatta dope. eom

[Bradshaw3]

23. A bottomless pit of insecurity

Coupled with a mountain of malignant narcissism. I've never seen a worse person in my life, except for maybe serial killers/child predators? Give him time, he may outdo them.

[Blue_true]

27. How our candidate beats Trump in 2020.

It is very clear that Trump is bothered by anyone pointing out the foolish stuff he does or says. Our candidate must accurately quote what Trump said or did while our candidate makes a larger point, that will drive Trump nuttier than he is and give our candidate a big advantage.

[durablend]

31. IDK

Whoever our candidate whips out a map and a Sharpie during a debate?

[Blue_true]

32. That would work. Accurately ridicule of him is something that he cannot stand.

That forced him into other stupid actions. In the end, our candidate must make it possible for the vast majority of Americans to see Trump for the inadequate fool that he is. What we need is his MAGATS being so depressed by him looking like an idiot and our candidate pointing that out, that they become too embarrassed to show up to vote, not likely for MAGATS, but we can lower vote from the republican leaning fence sitters.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

43. OMG !! This reminds me of something.

During the Bush/Quayle and Clinton/Gore election, there was talk of a debate between the VP candidates. It ended the minute the republicans learned that Gore was going to walk out on stage and hold up a potato !!

[moose65]

53. You are correct

The one thing that ruffles Trump is being laughed at. He is so insecure that it drives him bananas. I think my favorite video clip of him is the one where he's speaking at the UN and they start laughing. You can just see the terror on his face! He tried to laugh it off, but it was too late.

Democrats should play that clip and also the one of him with toilet paper on his shoe. He would absolutely blow his top.

[smirkymonkey]

33. Arghhhh! Just stop it! Just STFU!

Can't you ever let anything go? You are making yourself look like a bigger asshole by the minute. Just drop it FFS!

[Initech]

60. Where's Walter when you need him?

[dalton99a]

34. Stupid sick fuck.

[Harker]

46. He supplied graphics.

Oh. Okay, then.

[ck4829]

48. Haha

[Vinca]

49. If Trump was your father or grandfather you'd be looking for a good "home" where he'd be safe.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

50. "The black guy made presidenting look so easy"

"Why don't people like me?" Donald Trump

[MFM008]

51. For God's sake!

EVACUATE ALABAMA!!!!

[Gothmog]

57. trump is delusional

[Initech]

58. Seriously, when you're already in a hole, stop digging!

[malaise]

59. What I don't get is that he fails to understand that by the time he said Alabama

was in the cone, there was absolutely no hurricane threat, no tropical storm threat no tropical depression threat to Alabama. How can anyone be this wrong and strong.
