In that time, he mentioned (and showed photos of) his inauguration crowd 5 different times, compared himself to Andrew Jackson, and couldn't answer any softball questions directly.

A racist, sexist, genocidal thief of labor. There's not a lot of light between wage-theft, refusal to pay for services rendered, and being a slaver.

Stopped clocks and all...

he did get hard questions (for him)

i kept waiting for him to throw a hissy fit and get up and leave

overall, i think david muir did a good job and people should watch it

it's a little scary; size matters, gobbleygook talk, big talk, delusional talk, etc.

i hope people saw it

topics included
black sites, obamacare, torture/waterboarding (fighting fire with fire), how he felt when given the nuke codes, the letter obama left him, reagan's rug in oval office (you get to chose from like 6--something to that effect), the voting investigation as to why he lost popular vote, the new head of cia is "fabulous" and the old one was not "fabulous" and much more

i'm glad i watched it.
please don't misunderstand me; i'm not saying i like him or that i was impressed
i just want to know what i'm dealing with. the election came as a surprise. i don't want another surprise

At end of interview he dwelled on framed photos on wall to convince viewers there was a massive turnout for his inauguration as if it was the most amazing in history. His insecure narcissism and juvenile lack of perspective or intelligent reflection was appalling.

The show was a sickening display of the constant lying and his need to stay in campaign propaganda mode with the simplistic sloganeering comments appealing to his gullible supporters.

it just now in WaPo. Trump is totally unhinged. He needs a mental evaluation pronto. I also wonder if he's on any sort of drug like speed that would give him delusions of grandeur. Disturbing . And they just handed over the nuclear codes to him yesterday.
