He hates what the reporters he talks to write about him, but he will always talk to the next one.

Reminds me of Jimmy Stewart's character from How the West Was Won who figured he would always "go to see the varmint."

If they had his signature endorsing checks written by the KGB and deposit records from his bank kiid and Red would call it a liberal plot.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/07/i-alone-can-fix-it-mark-milley-likened-trump-to-hitler.html

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likened Donald Trump’s effort to hold on to power after the 2020 election to Adolf Hitler, saying the president was preaching “the gospel of the Führer” with his lies about the election being stolen, according to a new book by two Washington Post reporters.


As chronicled in I Alone Can Fix It, by Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, the Pentagon’s top general said shortly before the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol that Trump had led the country to the brink of its own “Reichstag moment,” viewing him as a potential threat to American democracy. (Intelligencer obtained a copy of I Alone Can Fix It, which is due out July 20.)

So not surprised...is what's reverberating in my head after reading the Guardian.

And it's reassuring to know the Kremlin can leak, too.

https://news.yahoo.com/team-trump-reportedly-worried-kellyanne-140710408.html

In recent weeks, Former President Donald Trump and his team have fielded an onslaught of damaging excerpts from both upcoming and newly-released books chronicling the Trump administration. Unfortunately for them, the "tea-spilling" is not quite over.

Privately, former administration officials and top campaign aides are particularly concerned about the upcoming tell-all from former counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, Politico reports. Conway is reportedly "expected to give a hold-no-punches account of her time in the White House and those she worked alongside," per Politico.

Much like the authors of other Trump-related books, Conway sat down with the ex-president at Mar-a-Lago — a decision former press secretary Sean Spicer called a "strategic mistake" on Trump's part.

"I understand the rationale, but it was a strategic mistake to sit down with these folks — you're giving them credibility," Spicer said.



They're worried about her "alternative facts".

And yet, you cannot be bothered to spell her name right, even when it's right in front of you.

Spouse read Mary Trump's book,  sounds like it explains everything.  The people who would learn the most from the book are the least likely to read it.   Same as it ever was.

The misspelled name doesn't take away from the opinion.

Stop demonizing, josh. You only are doing so to undermine his views.

Your mindreading abilities continue to astound, Piggy.

How you can manage to be close to 100% wrong is hard to fathom.

But in this case, you are not only wrong about my motives but picking on something absurd to do it.

Or are you just demonizing me to undermine my views and to engage in "cancel culture?!"

God, you are the epitome of everything you write.

Back to your making claims about people's private lives, again.

As accurate as your mind reading and just as stupid of you.

Like I said, you are the epitome of everything you write.
