During his interview with 60 Minutes, Trump had Baghdad Barbie (Kayleigh
McEnany) present Lesley Stahl with an oversized, 10 inch, hard bound
book on his health care polices. It was so big and heavy, Stahl had
difficulty holding it. I guess Trump thought 60 minutes would
simply judge the book by its cover and never open it, but …. (checks
notes) … they did, revealing it was empty, full of blank pages.
Trump’s bungling continued as he just posted photographs of the stunt to his own twitter account.
Dumbest grifters — evah.
At least now we know why Trump stormed out of his interview.
Stahl opened the book.
She.
Opened.
The.
Book.
Trump went through the expense of having a thick book bound… of blank paper.
Then handed it to a reporter. Not Hannity. Not Tucker. Not Ingraham. Not Bartiromo.
A reporter.
Trump’s been living in fantasyland for so long he’s forgotten that people in the real world don’t reflexively believe the shit he says.
If you read the snopes article there are some facts I want to point out.
The book is said to be 2500 pages. They call it his “health care plan”
The PDF released by the white house claiming to be the contents of the book, is 512 pages.
The PDF is not a proposal for healthcare, it is a copy of 13 executive orders and 11 “other pieces of legislation” enacted under the 45th president. The same paragraph says that is every bit of healthcare he has signed.
“On top were pages…” Implies that it was separate, and there does seem to be a skinny little book she’s holding under the big one, when they mention his plan for the future. I’d say it’s 50-75 pages.
So they padded the look of the pages by almost 500% and claimed it was a health care plan, when in fact it is a copy of all the things he’s done to try and repeal or damage the ACA.
Look, it’s not entirely blank. Just horrendously padded. It’s not a health care plan, it’s the list of ways he’s tried to kill people by removing health care. This entire thing… Look if locking him in a room and swearing at him would make things work better I’d yell at him until my body gave out on me. Go vote for someone whos supporters don’t fly the Nazi flag.
somehow the padding is even worse than if it was entirely blank.
I have a feeling that your worries aren’t all the faeries would take away
well, it’s not wrong. once the fairies take you you stop worrying about what you used to worry about. granted, you start worrying about the fact that you’ve just been turned into a deer and are being chased by the wild hunt, but you know. not technically a lie.
