    The Orange Shit Stain and his body language says it all. Kudos to the journalist for sticking to the subject and keeping the POS in line.

    The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.

    Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.

    Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?

        I love this video so much. The interviewer asks Shapiro to defend his stances and Shapiro responds by calling the interviewer a liberal.

        “A Georgia law you support would have women who had a miscarriage face trail for potentialy 30 years in jail. Isn’t that a bit harsh?”

        “Oh, sorry, I didn’t know you were A LIBERAL!”

        Knowing Neil’s background and then watching this video gives one truly one of the most delicious viewings of all time.

          I watched it without and it was still interesting. What’s Neil’s background? Seemed like a super nice old guy.

            I believe Andrew Neil himself is rather conservative. So Shapiro accusing him of being a liberal is… even more absurd.

      That’s the one group I don’t understand, the finance guys, business owners, stock analysts, etc. How can they possibly be on team Trump? You want some certainty in the market, not some dementia patient steering the wheel with Christian Nationalists like Stephen Miller whispering directions in his ear.

          Lot of fucking good that’s going to do them when nobody can afford to buy their shit

          Who are you going to sell to? Because it ain’t me, and it ain’t 99% of the rest of the American people. So if these rich fucks want to chase their infinite paycheck, they’re going to need some revenue.

        “What does The Wall Street Journal know? They’ve been wrong about everything, and so have you by the way, you’ve been wrong,” Trump replied, crossing his arms and curling into his seat.

        Ah, yes, the well known unreputable, woke, liberal extremist publication, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal.

    Trump responded by sighing and ranting about Virginia’s voter rolls. “The question is about Google, President Trump,” Micklethwait replied. Trump then went on a spiel about how Google is unfair to him and doesn’t show users any positive stories about him.

    There are no positive articles about him that aren’t from horribly biased sources.

      One time Google’s snippet for Republican described Nazis. This enraged the Republicans and Google manually changed it. But it was auto generated from stuff the GOP was really saying, and still are.

      A journalist had to answer a question from the public on the subject in a Canadian special on US elections and his answer was “Look, I’m a journalist, I report facts and if you believe I’m biased because all the news coming from the republican side are bad news I would tell you I’m not the one who chose the candidate that generates these bad news, my job is just to report them, nothing else.”

        I’m gonna try to watch this later. I give myself 3 minutes before I give up. Thanks for sharing the link.

        Update: I made it about 20 minutes into the “interview” and had to stop. The gish gallop is hard with Trump and there’s no way I could listen to it for a full hour.
