...and he probably won't be. He couldn't handle having to answer REAL questions.

details. Suppose this is the new norm----everytime Trump somehow gets his little hands in on a so-called jobs deal.

questions about this supposed FIFTY BILLION DOLLAR "investment" and 50,000 jobs could be asked by anyone in the press. Oh, yeah, and Ivanka's big clothing deal that happened to work out right at the same time.

One thing I have noticed about Trump consistently is that he uses certain numbers (and phrases) over and over and over -- like the number of Hillary's supposed emails (which all disappeared like magic after the election!) and the Carrier jobs and now the 50 billion and 50k jobs. It seems to win over evangelicals, and other low-info Trump voters seem to find these (impossible to verify) numbers mesmerizing.

They can go ahead and talk about him all they want. Not getting my viewership, and I did used to watch online as well.

I barely make it thru the local news. But very very limited coverage of his scumship there. I force myself to watch BBC News though. I need to know what sanity is.
