MSNBC host Katie Phang reacted to the exchange and said, “Oh, wait wait wait. Trump is now saying that his campaign's photo op was a setup.”

    LOL “if something good happened, then I DID IT. if something bad was done LITERALLY BY ME, then someone else did it”

    Honestly, I don’t even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.

    They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for “pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!” type shit. If he didn’t say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.

    The “I was just doing what I was told” defense isn’t a defense and that’s been proven.

    However, it’s also been proven this guy suffers 0 consequences to anything ever so…

    Lol, he just threw the parents that were kissing his ass about the visit right under the bus.

    And I bet they’d kiss his ass for that, too.

    we’re leading the internet

    I don’t know who posted those videos

    probably “the parents”

    The rules are very clear

    It’s kind of a grey area

    I swear he manages to talk for hours and never actually say anything…

      Yeah. When will a journalist call him out on this? Maybe ask pointed questions? Ask for clarification? Call out his rambling?

        The person in the article kind of does this a little bit but just seems to give up after the third or fourth non answer

        Journalists do occasionally, but it usually gets buried real fast since the “liberal media” wants him to appear not totally unhinged for reasons like being “unbiased” and maintaining a friendly relationship with billionaires.

    Biden got called out for rambling all the time (and it was pretty fair, to be honest). Why are Trump’s ramblings and non sequiturs not equally highlighted? The guy speaks like he’s reading a scrabble board.

    That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

    Everyone is thinking of it.

    Anyone dealing with Trump and his team should get them to sign agreements.

    Sadly, that agreement needs to include both sexual, verbal and physical assault it seems

        Yeah. But a legal document in writing at least would acknowledge that he knew.

        He is also infamous for denying that he had knowledge of dodgy events

    I’m still waiting on that video evidence that proves he is innocent. He promised it a few days ago. I wonder how long we will have to wait?

    He’s not responsible for what his campaign puts out apparently. Beyond that, if he keeps getting pressed and he digs into blaming the family I’d like to see their faces when they continue to support him and deny the reality of the world.
