Donald Trump thinks you're dumb

Excerpt:

On Thursday, a reporter asked the president, “What exactly did you hope the Ukrainian president would do about the Bidens?” Trump’s answer was stunning — and obvious at the same time. He replied, “I think if they were honest about it, they’d start a major investigation. … They should investigate the Bidens. … China likewise should start an investigation.”

For those who have been paying close attention, this is, indeed, the exact thing Republicans have spent days denying that Trump asked in his July phone call with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky, though the president has upped the ante by adding a request to China to investigate the former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

A Monmouth University poll released this week found that only 40 percent of Republicans believe Trump mentioned Biden on the call with the Ukrainian president. What will they say now?

Considering the billions of US tax dollars that were funneled through the area and "lost"... Yeah, they should investigate the Bidens... cause their hands are not just dirty, they are filthy.

And they should be (Justice Department, not Trump or Communist China).  But this thread is about Donald Trump thinking we are dumb.  Not noticing that the story changes from one day to another.

Jessica Tarlov thinks you're dumb and don't know that statement is false. False premises lead to false conclusions.

Slaying their own straw horses is all they have left.

Also worked to organize a conference for Bill & Hill. Given the book she co-wrote, she's a Never-Trumper if not Hate-Trumper. Which goes pretty far to explain her falsehood that I called out earlier today.

She's not the only barking moonbat leftist on Fox, but she's close to being the worst.  And the fry-voice puts my teeth on edge.  I hate fry-voice.

I haven't watched FOX News since they went into the Trump business.  So I wouldn't know. 

But the truth is that Republicans did try to say he didn't do that and then he said he did.  Just because you don't like her doesn't make that any less truthful.

I don't think that Trump should be impeached.  But I do think he makes problems for himself.  He should keep his mouth shut and let his justice department take care of corruption.

Trump said he committed an impeachable offense?  I can see why that would make me want to read a column by fry-voice.

I learnt once that I shouldn't pass judgement on what people say, unless I hear it myself, in context.  I'm peculiar.  I'm a sick fan of evidence too, but I'm working on that.

Heck, Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera, also Fox contributors BTW, are more truthful than Tarlov.  But, you're gonna believe what you're gonna believe.

The ones here who think you are dumb are the members of the press who falsely portray an opinion spoken to a reporter as being equivalent to a demand placed on a foreign leader.

Tarlov is a rabid nasty leftist whose voice is like listening to someone gargling with a gerbil. Amazing someone would post her spew on this board.

It is not surprising, if one considers the poster is all out TDS driven.

No mattter the source, if it is anti-Trump it is A-okay.

Funny... how, since they (the idiot left) have nothing solid to accuse Trump of... now they are relegated to telling us what Trump "thinks".   It would be hilarious if it were not so stupid.  I'm tired of the stupid.
