In his first major TV interview as president, Trump is endlessly obsessed with his popularityBy Jenna Johnson January 26, 2017 at 3:30 AM
The way President Trump tells it, the meandering, falsehood-filled, self-involved speech that he gave at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters was one of the greatest addresses ever given.
That speech was a home run, Trump told ABC News just a few minutes into his first major television interview since moving into the White House. See what Fox said. They said it was one of the great speeches. They showed the people applauding and screaming. I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl, and they said it was equal. I got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time.
The most powerful man in the world continued: You probably ran it live. I know when I do good speeches. I know when I do bad speeches. That speech was a total home run. They loved it. People loved it. They loved it. They gave me a standing ovation for a long period of time. They never even sat down, most of them, during the speech. There was love in the room. You and other networks covered it very inaccurately. That speech was a good speech. And you and a couple of other networks tried to downplay that speech. And it was very, very unfortunate that you did.

TRUMP: I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl and they said it was equal. I got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time.

And whose party is in total control of all three branches of the Federal government and many of the state governments.
Damn, are we fucked or what?

Right now Bannon seems to be running the show. Trump sure isn't.

(3,208 posts)is something about how if you tell something to someone three times they will believe it. I guess he believes that?
It is a little pitiful but I am also enjoying this behavior. I am hoping the more he is focused on himself the less damage he can do to our country.
