First interview with Donald Trump and Mike Pence

[Chingylol]

I thought the part at 9:10 where Trump said he was religious and kept reaffirming it was pure gold. Pence really was at a loss for words when she asked him what he thought of waterboarding at 16:45. Could tell his brain was going into overdrive about what he should say.

Thoughts on the interview? Discuss.

"One of the best negotiators in the world", ROFL.

[KrazyK923]

If I had any doubts that Trump was going to lose, they were alleviated by him choosing Mike Pence.

Best part was finding out he was trying to back out of it as late as midnight the night before.

So, a con man and a preacher. These are the strong men who will "make America great again"? How quaint!

[Chingylol]

19:05

Barbara: Do you REALLY want to be President?

Trump: I want to make America great again. Honestly! I'm sacrificing tremendous things.. I could be doing other things right now. It's lovely to be sitting here with you and getting grilled, but I have some of the greatest properties in the world. I could be out there.

I lol'd.

[Mister Cheese]

This election is a fucking joke.

[Sky High]

I don't know what I hate more, Clinton's arrogant mannerisms or Trump's vocabulary that makes me feel like I'm losing IQ points. "we need toughness, we need strength, Obama is weak, Hillary is weak, and part of it is that, a big part of it" uuuugh someone shove a fuckin pencil in my ear, PLEASE!

"unbelievable intelligence", wow, stunning, I am convinced.

I was against the Iraq war.

your running mate was in favor of it.


eeehhhh that's in the past. oh wait he straight up said he doesn't care, awesome. he's allowed to make a mistake every once in a while! god this is what trump fans are head over heals for? jesus.

[Pangean]

Loved watching Trump interrupt all the time when Pence was talking and giving him permission to answer a question the way he wanted to. And the humble comment was a classic. Especially when he then started bragging about himself. I would feel sorry for Pence if it wasn't so clear how much of a willing lick spittle he is.

[FeedsOnDevTears]

Can we just all admit that Hillary is awful, and that Trump is a Dem plant trying to run the worst campaign he plausibly can, because literally anyone else would stomp all over her?

[Chingylol]

Is it me or does Mike Pence come off as a stoner?

[Bollocks]

1. LOL Donald doesnt even give a shit that Pence supported the iraq war.

2. I loved how Pence tried to saved some face when asked about waterboarding and Trump literally said that he doesnt give a shit if he is wrong

3. Trump on immigration

Better deals my ass.

[Pangean]

Or is it me or does Mike Pence come off as a stoner?

He's high on God man. No seriously he's extremely careful in what he is saying and it comes off that way especially next to the verbal diarrhea of Trump.

[Underverse]

Lol Pence spends this entire interview trying to reign Trump in and avoid answering the questions. You can tell that it's painful for him just to sit by Trump's side and cast a few ambiguous endorsements his way.

On a side note, this reaffirms Trump's lack of understand of the world. I really don't understand why some people think he's intelligent. We would be better off with a toddler in office.

[Pangean]

Sounds silly but what is it with dictators and wealthy folks and their shitty taste in gilded furniture?

[Milchshake]

I heard there's a Heat Dome in the area, due to a massive influx of hot air....

[Celista]

Completely irrelevant to their politics, but they look like two lovers whose quality time revolves around slathering tanning oil on each others' bodies in their shared tanning booth.

Relevant to their politics, this interview is amazing. The first three to five minutes was nonsense grandstanding and a bullshit answer on "very few troops" on the ground to combat ISIS. This came across as completely insincere considering their mini-speech regarding the need to demonstrate American strength previously. It's blatantly clear that a Trump presidency equates to a full-blown war with American casualties.

Pence came across as an insincere flip-flopper when the inconsistencies regarding his previously stated political positions were pointed out.

Trump still comes across as an idiot with no meaningful answers to legitimate questions being asked of him, answers that he should have more coherent content to by now.

Trump presidency will be a shitshow, if he actually gets elected then we deserve the insanity that follows.

[muto]

Gonna be interesting to see who Hillary picks. It's gonna be great when the Vice President elects end up being better choices than Trump and Hillary, cause out of Trump, Pence, and Hillary, I would choose Pence.

[GennGreymane]

Well..... I have no other words outside this statement.

[chrisberb]

Wow, what a telling interview. Pence with his already flaws, is willing to let go of his prior held beliefs and convictions just to attempt to be Donald's VP. Then you have Trump and his "I don't care that he voted for the Iraq war" even though he has hammered Hillary with it....really. He's just such a shallow candidate that he could be doing other things but he's "enjoying" running for president. What a fucking joke.

[Baelic]

So, wait... Trump doesn't actually WANT to be president?
