    The Orange Shit Stain and his body language says it all. Kudos to the journalist for sticking to the subject and keeping the POS in line.

    The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.

    Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.

    Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?

    Trump responded by sighing and ranting about Virginia’s voter rolls. “The question is about Google, President Trump,” Micklethwait replied. Trump then went on a spiel about how Google is unfair to him and doesn’t show users any positive stories about him.

    There are no positive articles about him that aren’t from horribly biased sources.

    • One time Google’s snippet for Republican described Nazis. This enraged the Republicans and Google manually changed it. But it was auto generated from stuff the GOP was really saying, and still are.

      A journalist had to answer a question from the public on the subject in a Canadian special on US elections and his answer was “Look, I’m a journalist, I report facts and if you believe I’m biased because all the news coming from the republican side are bad news I would tell you I’m not the one who chose the candidate that generates these bad news, my job is just to report them, nothing else.”

    He’s truly a man of the people. Turns out the people of America are dumb.

        I’m gonna try to watch this later. I give myself 3 minutes before I give up. Thanks for sharing the link.

        Update: I made it about 20 minutes into the “interview” and had to stop. The gish gallop is hard with Trump and there’s no way I could listen to it for a full hour.
