that? there are never any jokes with president trump. that s what he when he says something and then, you know, his enablers come and say it s a joke, it s not a joke. when he said during the campaign, russia if you re looking for find hillary s emails. he meant find hillary s emails. when he said the chosen unwiton meant the chosen one. this is what he believes. maybe he was referring to being chosen by putin. that would be a hell of a lot more believable. and you know the answer of what evangelicals would be doing if president obama said it. they would be thumping their bibles and demanding an apology for making a comparison to god. here we have a guy who is a pathological liar, a cheater, who embodies every value that is antithesis to what religious people hold dear calling himself the chosen one.
i d punch him every single day. you have called him a bad man among other things. he is in your words a bad man that you voted for. yes. absolutely. so i found the religion. look, you and i talked. he lost me at helsinki about a year, year and a half ago when he stood in front of the world and said, i m with that guy putin and not my own people. that was it. that was ugly. that was disloyal. but really, john, what s grown on me since 2016 is this troubling truth. virtually every time he opens his mouth, he lies. i mean, we ve never had that before. look. i was in congress with obama and i called him out on a couple of doozies. but we ve never had a president and this is pretty scary. we ve never been in a situation where every single time a president opened his mouth, it was a lie. i don t give a damn what your
conduct diplomacy. the united states does have important interests in the arctic, greenland figures in those interests. and the united states should have worked quietly behind the scenes with greenland as we ve done in the past to buffer american opportunities there, to be sure the russians and the chinese aren t encroaching, which they are elsewhere in the arctic. and we should be concerned about the overall strength of our relationships with all of our allies in europe. when we talk about threatening germany with tariffs on automobile production which is one of the biggest factors in the german economy. and when we disparage the prime minister of denmark, we re weakening nato. we re playing into putin s hands. now, what my european friends tell me is they re not surprised by this anymore. they ve seen the president.
wasn t hillary. look, he lost me officially at helsinki over a year ago when he stood in front of the american people and said i stand with that guy putin instead of my own people. john, this is a i feel like we re living in alice and wonderland. every day he lies to the american people. you can t believe a word that coming out of his mouth. john, we ve never had that in a president. and again, republicans generally that piece i wrote in the new york times yesterday, most republicans agree with me. most of my former colleagues up on capitol hill agree with every single word i said. they re scared to death to say that publicly. i have to question your police work as they say here. if we look at the polling from fox news, 88% of republicans, 88% approve of president trump. and what s interesting about this op-ed i should have made clear, you wrote this in the
the russian oligarch. is he key to the collusion case? absolutely. he s essential to it. this is someone who disappeared from american politics. went over to ukraine. and got in bed with pro-russian party and eventually one of the russian oligarchs. and all of a sudden he goes missing. and owing millions of dollars. and then the guy shows up, running donald trump s presidential campaign. you don t need to be a sherlock holmes to be to look at that set of facts and say huh. this guy putin was protrump in the election. should we look into the manafort situation? of course. and then he s back channelling.
