(22,037 posts)Trump is so self-absorbed that he didn't realize Mulvaney was warning him.
Trump is an idiot.

It just wouldn't be absurd enough to be funny.

stephen miller said limbaugh wrote one of the most important books he ever read!
the trump team studied talk radio in 2014, and most everything trump does came out of limbaugh's ass months and years ago

(22,976 posts)Hate radio jabbering away in the car or workshop, Fox news as a nightlight, telling listeners how their troubles are ALL the fault of the godless, immoral (!) and Marxist Democrats. The formula is a steady diet of fear, rage; fear, rage; fear, rage, etc., ad nauseam.
In their fucked-up world, history itself has been re-written, and measurable, objective facts are completely dismissed: Hitler was a liberal, Obama is a Muslim, Trump is a god-hero, the moon-landings never happened, and the Iraq conflict meant fighting them over there instead of fighting them here.
Its all a total load of horseflop; but, unfortunately, too many Americans are intellectually challenged enough to actually buy into this market-checkout-tabloid level of propaganda, without any fact-checking whatsoever. All of which is befitting an out-and-out cult.

(13,871 posts)I interacted with him several times when he was a Congressman, but then he turned into a full-blown gutless pig when he climbed up Trumps ass. I am so glad to hear him get humiliated like this.
No One who works for Trump can have a shred of self-respect.

Was it an actual coughing fit? Or was Mulvaney trying to signal something else to his boss?

(115,740 posts)Trump: "Well, of course I would have been happy to meet with Putin himself if he had dirt on Hillary...."
Mulvaney: *cough*
Trump: "Stop coughing in the middle of my answer, Mulvaney! I was about to explain how meeting with Putin to get dirt on Hillary, for which I'd offer him a penthouse in the Trump Moscow hotel, wouldn't be collusion..."
Mulvaney: *cough, cough*
Trump: "Get out of here, Mulvaney. You're interrupting my interview. Now, as I was saying..."
