  • Trump made governors beg him personally for federal aid after natural disasters, a new book claims.
  • Two governors described Trump saying he would authorize aid if he was asked "nicely."
  • The revelations are made in an upcoming book by two New York Times reporters.

LOL.

Unnamed sources? Can't trust em!
Named sources? Can't trust em!

Self-assessment for you: Think about the criteria for when you consider a source to be trustworthy. Have you created an environment where only pro-Trump information can possibly be accepted?

Again, self-assessment. Not intended to start a conversation here. You can post about it here if you like, but no promises on whether anyone is interested.

Completely unsurprising and completely believable.

I don't need a book. Trump said it out loud, publically, enough times.

Trump to Mike Pence: 'Don't call the woman in Michigan,' aka Gov. Gretchen Whitmer​

President Trump told reporters that certain governors are not appreciative enough of his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

I would agree with the revelations based on the body language in photos of California Governor Jarry Brown and Lt Governor Gavin Newsom when touring wild fire devastation with Trump. Brown, a man who does not suffer fools, definitely broadcasted that stifling himself took great effort — and he had to play nice for the sake of the fire victims.

In before Mycroft claims quoting Trump's actual words is "fake news."

JD Vance is back in Trump’s good graces, even after comparing him to Hitler.

For anyone not in Ohio, the republican primary race for the senate is a complete shit show and our Hillbilly Elegy boy is doing his best to add to it with his 360 on Trump.
Trump spoke just outside Columbus yesterday in support of Vance and I read he (Vance) actually got some boos from the fervent Trump fans in attendance.

Tell Alls mean nothing without physical evidence. Until the people behind them can prove their words, Tell Alls should be regulated to the "Fiction" section.

That sounds like something he would do, but I haven't read the article.

You need physical evidence for Trump being himself?You know he did it. Probably gave him a stiffy. Shit like that is his Viagra. Makes him feel like a "real man"

Much like the 2020 election was stolen or rigged.

RudyG claims he has evidence but can't release it to the public yet.
MLindell claims he has teryabites of evidence was going to release it at the cyber symposium but did not.
MLogan made a mess with the Arizona "forensic audit. Even came up with more votes for Biden.

How many people have to say the same thing about the guy before his followers start to realize that it is true?

In other words...tell a lie enough and people will think it's true.

In other words you don't understand how pathetic it is that you need to defend an anti American peice of garbage on the internet daily.
And here we go...the personal attacks.

You are dismissed.

You are lucky I'm in a good mood and haven't reported you for violating forum rules.
