First interview with Donald Trump and Mike Pence

[chrisberb]

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

He's cool if it happens, but he's also cool with just bragging about having money and chilling out.

Who plays Trump in this satirical interview? Wait.... What.... this wasn't comedy central satire? This is really a presidential interview?

The amount of times she had to re ask questions because both of these loons kept dodging them with shady generic answers was absolutely insane.

"we are going to have very few troops on the ground, and we are going to have unbelievable intelligence, which we need." You cannot just fucking say something like that without proof. You cannot just "get intelligence." That is not how any of this works.

Things more likely than Trump magically getting intelligence:

Jesus being reincarnated only for sucking off Mike Pence

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

He's played the "I don't need this but I'm doing it for our country" card before. As with most of what he says, it's probably just bullshit.

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.

So you'd rather prefer a pius establishment, anti-gay and far right christian candidate? Why?

So you'd rather prefer a pius establishment, anti-gay and far right christian candidate? Why?

Because he's the most qualified to run the country.

Because he's the most qualified to run the country.

Qualified... because? Is it his fight against higher minimum wages that compel you? Or perhaps how he wants more tax cuts for the rich? Or how he tried to make discrimination against gay people legal in Indiana? Or how he wants to eradicate all form of abortion and planned parenthood? Or the way he's more pro TPP than Hillary herself?

Because he's the most qualified to run the country.

"Pence has also shown a deep misunderstanding of basic public health principles in the past. In 2001, he wrote an op-ed declaring that “smoking doesn’t kill.” The evidence? “Two out of three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness.”"

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.

Well, stupid question deserved a stupid answer.

[Independent voter]

I was going to post this. What was interesting to me is 60 Minutes is a huge program in the US watched by many voters, we got to see Trump at his best.

Pence would make a better president maybe, he sure sounds more like a president.

I almost died laughing.

But really Trump couldn't have handled this any worse. I mean you really see he's not a politician and does not know how to answer difficult questions without well saying the truth.

I can't imagine this has in anyway been beneficial to his campaign.

[TZucchini]

This is fucking painful to watch. A fabulous display of how Trump is in over his head. He's just making shit up as he goes.

Mike Pence voted for Iraq? Oh I don't care about that, he's allowed to make mistakes.

Hillary Clinton voted for Iraq? Burn the witch.

[alexw]

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.

The thing is it just ends making Trump look worse because of the direct contrast. You have the adults in the room trying to have a serious discussion, then you have the loud mouthed brat talking over everyone else and acting as an attention seeker.

[Florena]

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?

Even if he was, republican primary voters voted him in and it's not like he hasn't always been this way.

This foretells how he will do in the debates. Those will be like this. He will be asked difficult questions on policy topics and be asked to defend his stances and show how they are better than Hillary's. He will get crucified. If I had any doubt he'd do well in the debates and somehow squeak a win I don't have it now. Anyone with any education or intelligence will be utterly turned off trump and it's going to be a very comfortable Hillary win. They might even take the house.

[Kalador]

Is it only me or Trump sound so fucking dumb when he speaks... How can anyone lisen to him and think he knows what the fuck he's doing... is he doing it on purpose?

In France Marine Le Pen who is the far right candidate is actually a really really good speaker, and it is so much more scary, she actually sound smart and she is, i don't agree with her but at least she sounds like she knows wtf she's talking about, but trump, he speaks like a fucking 12 years old bully, always turn around question with shit like we need to be strong, they are weak, they are loser... never explaine anything in depth... i can't belive he is that high in polls, he trully sound like a pure idiot. When he doesn't have a speach writen by somone else and he has to answer some questions it's truly painful to watch.

god he is so lucky that it's clinton on the other side and every one hates her.

''I think i'm much more humble than you would understand''.... he can't even comback at somone and make up somthing thay make sense, he sound like me in mumble during raid when somone trows a jab at me... And that's cause english is my 2nd language...

It's more painful to watch now. It's been deleted.

Rounding up the evangelical vote....pure gold on Trump's part.

Pretty much. I was talking to my next door neighbor this morning who has been a soft Trump supporter. He said he had watched the interview and can't vote Trump anymore and basically said the reason why was a variation of what you said.
