[@7mike2300]

Why aren't any politicians calling for him to be examined ?

[@CaleyWarrior101]

hpso because they're all benefiting from his fucked up executive orders and crap

[@3_up_moon]

hpso Maybe the recently discovered brain cancer was the explanation for Senator McCain's strange behavior during committee meetings. Has anyone wondered if ignoring this problem may be ignoring a physical malady all because they are in denial?

[@myprophet1]

RDR yes yes yes. my thoughts last night. Will they now face the very real possibility? His father had Alzheimer's. We discuss mental health on a daily basis. What would ever preclude a president from suffering from a mental disorder?

[@mottbone]

Because Donny boy's last name doesn't start with an 'O.'

[@MisterLumpkin]

A House committee has voted to revoke the 2001 War Powers they granted to Bush. The committee vote was near unanimous; Democrats and Republicans. That's the first step in putting a leash on Trump.

[@kitty6720]

Basically he is saying that Sessions should've continued to break the law as long as long it benefited Trump.

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

Kitty Benefiting trump is his only interest.

[@bra-balllegend3940]

When a lying, racist, vote-suppressing, weed-hating, private-prison-stocking, Russia-conspiring, forfeiture-pushing POS like Sessions tells you, "whoa, you've gone too far," you know you're the scum of the earth. Well, anyone but The Donald would know.

[@briannakubiwood6595]

Donny your Keebler Elf buddy needed to recuse himself BECAUSE he was a part of your campaign. That's how it works! OMG I can't even believe this, it's like getting angry at your friend who got jury duty on your trial and couldn't participate because of conflict of interest.

[@MsColdCanada]

Yeah, if you were really my buddy you'd lie to stay on my jury and then tell everyone during deliberations what a great and innocent guy I am. What could go wrong, pal?

[@valgehiir]

elf buddy lol

[@luminyam6145]

Oh god, elf buddy indeed, love it!

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

Luminya M He's hanging on to that Keebler tree with all his might!!! 🌳

[@ettahasnogoats7250]

The “recusal statement” is quite disturbing. He could not recuse himself either before or shortly after his appointment. “The Russia Investigation” had not happened yet. Sessions would have to be “clairvoyant” to recuse himself. We should not forget what initiated thee investigation from the start. It was the tweet about President Obama surveilling him. I am not a Democrat.

[@kewldude23xx]

he gave an interview to the "failing" New York times? what?

[@akizeta]

He needs to keep feeding the "Fake News" so that he can carry on complaining about their "biased" reporting. If he stopped talking to them, they might stop talking about _him._

[@politicaltwinkie2370]

"WHAT!?!?!" That is the same thing his lawyer said. :O)

[@johnlaine6259]

NelC spot on

[@andystefanides826]

Ismael Aguilar Morons media fake news

[@mycount64]

Trump did the interview so he could deny doing it later and say it was fake. Trump supports fake news.

[@politicaltwinkie2370]

It is really odd...troubling...T refers to himself in that audio video in the third person.

[@emmaobrien9668]

He constantly does it, just another trate of the mad man baby. Looking on in horror from afar.

[@cesiba1]

George is getting very upset!!!

[@dreamboynyc965]

I'm still stunned and in disbelief that a large # of people who voted for an educated, well spoken, reasonable, measured, intelligent man like Barack Obama 2X turned around and voted for an ignoramus like Trump in 2016. Just...wow.

[@laurad4822]

DreamboyNYC - Isn't it unbelievable!

[@gregorymize576]

I take it, Bob Yo Bob, you are NOT an "amerikkkans"? If not, you have no clue as to how our voting system and electoral college work. Trump did not win the popular vote but won the Electoral College instead, which is why he's President ("emperor of yankeestan" as you so derisively put it). Americans voted for the candidate who said he would "change the system", that "Washington was corrupt", that "America isn't great. Make America Great Again". He represented, in a single candidate, the only one who could "get things done" the way the American people demanded. We "morons" as you call us, were deceived, pure and simple. If you purchased a glass of wine, for example, but found out after you bought it it was made with 50% diesel fuel and trace amounts of lead, you would feel deceived. To further the analogy, you would not to get a refund on that glass of wine for four years. So, Bob Yo Bob, I've noticed you have made pretty caustic remarks about our failing country in this thread, yet offer no ideas to help the situation. If you have something intelligent to say, I'm listening. And if you ARE an American citizen, stop whining and start calling and writing your representatives, express your outrage, attend town meetings, GET INVOLVED. It only takes a few minutes to sign an online petition, many of which are very effective at getting things changed. Also, every government office has a website. If you have a concern with the Attorney General, for example, you can write him directly by using the contact form on the DOJ's website.

[@czgibson3086]

Greg Mize: "We "morons" as you call us, were deceived, pure and simple." Yes, you were. Millions of us pointed this out to you at the time. Here's an intelligent suggestion for you: try and think a bit more carefully before casting your vote next time a clueless lunatic stands for office.

[@Celisar1]

Greg Mize There is a lot of truth in what you write and I applaud your admittance that you made a mistake BUT: to have got tricked by Trump you must have been blind and deaf. I don't want to list again all the disgusting, sexist, etc., etc. things he said and did. I totally understand why and how much you wanted change but everyone in his right mind wants change for the *better* and it was as clear as the bright daylight on a summer day that Trump is a horrible person, a narcissist and a HABITUAL LIAR. Who believes a habitual liar?!? No one of all the people I know and have spoken to could believe how America could make such a disastrous choice. We all know about the electoral college system but the fact remains true that enough people- millions and millions of Americans- voted voluntarily for this horrible person to get him elected!

[@czgibson3086]

wilsonc5P: You. Because you think that responding in that tone does you any favours at all.

[@pussygrabber4592]

45 has been unstable for years.

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

Pussygrabber 45 prove it. Dide by side video of comparison from 80s through 2000s.

[@pussygrabber4592]

TheGuerillapatriot Don't have to prove it everyone who didn't vote for 45 knows he's unstable.

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

Pussygrabber 45 id say he's prudent tactcal and has the same personality traits that has seen him head hundreds off corporate interests. I've watched his 80s 90s interviews and he sounds the same.

[@pussygrabber4592]

TheGuerillapatriot Obviously 45 has blinded you.

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

When you libtards put together data, and a really mean data, that demonstrably illustrates that he is all that you say he is I'll join you. When you cite the statute that he has violated I'll join you. No, the media has blinded you.

[@TD052]

but dump does not take blame for anything

[@politicaltwinkie2370]

[@deemor5013]

[@marie-helenemartel7147]

[@bra-balllegend3940]

Maybe a Russian sock-puppet show?

[@miapdx503]

Listen, does anyone remember the moment that Sessions recused himself? He was being questioned on the floor, publicly. He knew he was under oath. The recusal was all he had to keep from either a) perjuring himself or b) burying his boss.

[@coraltaylor8159]

This is very worrying.

[@bobroberts7643]

The proper medical words are fucking nuts

[@NicoleKe]

Now wait a minute. Last week he said, "I don't draw red lines." Now he's saying it would be crossing at red line. Well, how would he know the red lines are crossed if he doesn't draw them. Whatever.

[@MsColdCanada]

If Comey meant to blackmail Trump then why was the dossier not released upon firing? As usual Trump's alternative explanation makes no sense.

[@marcuswalker3056]

I somehow want a child to run into the room followed by its mother lol

[@jassonsw]

When all this has played out and Trump and certain members of his family are behind bars, there needs to be some serious re-thinking about who can be allowed to be POTUS

[@QuinSkew]

Trump is going insane over stress

[@JustNatax3]

See? He's having all the requirements to do one of the most stressful jobs on this planet. I mean who would've been a better fit for this job

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

Quin Skew I began to think that some time ago.

[@andrewmildenberg4210]

Let's hope all this stress leads to an aneurysm.

[@endlessadventure541]

Trump has no friends left.

[@dinoperedetout7464]

Jonathan C. Herr Drumpf has never had a friend. Ever. He may purchase the pretense of affection, but he has never had a friend.

[@CShivery]

Jonathan C. No friends? What about his "friend Jim, who doesn't go to Paris anymore because it isn't Paris anymore," or his "friend who builds factories," or Trump's "Great friend of mine, great friend," Luciano Pavarotti (who actually died 10 years ago)? Trump has lots of friends if you have a good imagination.

[@Wildfan-sg3fh]

Jonathan C. He admittedly never had any friends.

[@KarinBaca86]

Well, I'd say Vlad and Jim. Jim Crow?

[@bra-balllegend3940]

@ Electrik: "this whole charade will lead to trump products in the bargain bin in 99 cent stores" One might also put them in the "imports" section. Happy Made In America Day, Donnie!

When you read the transcript of the NYT interview, you realize just how incoherent Trump is.

[@alexeyfalke3985]

Thanks, David, for trying to sort things out in these crazy times. Good for you...good for us.

[@Tmanaz480]

Every conversation Trump has begins from a blank slate. He lives totally in the present.

[@daudabappa932]

$12 a year for health insurance? Bargain

[@denisehall4818]

Does anyone know where I can access this NYT interview? I want to hear it or read it.

[@redstart67]

Thank you David. The fact that he confirmed that he saw this as a genuine threat towards him, absolutely confirms the veracity of the contents of the dossier, as otherwise it just wouldn't have been seen as a potential threat, to be leveraged against him at some point in the future? That seems to go without saying, so like you, I wasabsolutely amazed when he just gave that particular juicy bit of information up willingly during that interview. It's not really been picked up on by many people as far as I've seen, other than your good self?

[@alaureljordan2427]

"Where are my keys?'" I canNOT find my damned keys!""Will someone PLEASE help me find my keys with the lucky gold bunny foot""WHAT video?"

[@franklettering]

analysing trump's "thought processes" and subsequently his tweetings or mouth noises is futile. He is a psychotic narcissist. The "infantile clown" with his petulant egocentricity is just simply that.One needs look no further nor delve any deeper.

[@Bill_Bo]

Somehow we end up with the worst of us making decisions for the most of us. Humanity is not going to make it.

[@Amy-gn6zw]

This man is not normal. He's delusional and dangerous.

[@mzscott19851]

Trump basically told on himself. 1. Check his family's finances 2. There is a tape out there somewhere

[@luminyam6145]

Thank you David, just a great video. I don't thank you enough for these good videos, these are so informative.

[@phantomscribbler6835]

To me, the over use of the word 'recuse' in Donald Trump's statement, or tweet, suggests he doesn't know what recuse means.

Nobody knew it was this complicated!

[@Jan96106]

I read what he said about Mueller in the interview. You are making what he said much, much more coherent than it actually was. It was very, very disjointed and jumped from his "I barely know the guy strategy" he always uses (he claimed he might have sold a condo to a Russian, how was he to know, he does so many business dealings, from that he jumped to he had no property in Russia. I can't quote the whole piece verbatim, but in addition to being full of lies, it made little sense, and pretty much revealed guilt by very awkward attempts to change what Russian finance connections referred to. Same thing with his previous comments. All the reporters said that he said he'd testify under oath about his meeting with Comey, but he didn't say that. Instead, when asked if he would testify under oath, he said, "One Hundred percent." What the heck does that mean? And he immediately added, "I didn't say under oath." Even the reporters are getting confused talking to him because the reporter actually asked him a nonsense question. The reporter asked if Trump was willing to testify that Comey hadn't asked him to take an oath. We all know Comey didn't ask for an oath, so Trump denied the obvious. Trump's slippery, disjointed, word salad speech is something many reporters are ironing out and making seem more clear than it actually is. And it is disturbing for two reason: 1) as evidence of his disordered mental state. 2) He's so ambiguous it is difficult to prove it's a lie or a lack of clarity.

[@2008MrsKim]

How is there nothing in Office that can put a stop to an acting President if there are noticeable mental issues? What if any actions are being taken to make this happen. I'm positive anyone can call on a Doctor and get the diagnosis of a mental disorder without he Doctor even talking face to face with him. How far does it have to go? He should have been out a long time ago just from the mental instability we and the world can see daily.

[@tnnsboy18]

In this interview, President Trump clearly displays symptoms of ADHD. He needs to be prescribed the appropriate medication as soon as possible. ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a medical condition that affects how well someone can sit still, focus, and pay attention. People with ADHD have differences in the parts of their brains that control attention and activity. This means that they may have trouble focusing on some tasks and subjects.

[@NickTheGreatAndPowerful]

Lets be real, the title should have really just been "Everything Trump's Ever Said Or Done Suggests Mental Instability".

[@thegreenman4898]

Neurosyphilis is a disease of the coverings of the brain, the brain itself, or the spinal cord. It can occur in people with syphilis, especially if they are left untreated. Neurosyphilis is different from syphilis because it affects the nervous system, while syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease with different signs and symptoms.Asymptomatic neurosyphilis means that neurosyphilis is present, but the individual reports no symptoms and does not feel sick. Meningeal syphilis can occur between the first few weeks to the first few years of getting syphilis. form of neurosyphilis can occur within the first few months to several years after infection. General paresis can occur between 3 - 30 years after getting syphilis. People with general paresis can have personality or mood changes.

[@marleybee1946]

Sessions was nominated on November 18th 2016 how did Trump know there would be an investigation to recuse himself from? Or am I nitpicking?

[@joeycmore]

Am I the only one who has checked and double-checked about the textbook definition of narcissism and psychopathy? Look into this and one may (but shouldn't) find a clear picture of how Trump's mind is working (a verb I use loosely on all accounts). Keep up the great work.

[@Brant-pi1tg]

God, it must be frustrating being a Trump lawyer or advisor!

"Blackmail only works if the dirt you have is true." Think about the girls who blackmailed teachers to get better grades or they would say, the teachers had sexually harassed them. You can destroy a persons life with a blatant lie and because of that there is a lot of room for blackmailing even if there is no actual dirt.

[@seanscanlon9067]

When you yourself know something to be the case but are keeping it from others then you really have to be careful that you don't inadvertently put your foot in it. If I steal something from you and then I later see you looking for that thing because you tell me you can't find it, if I ask "when was it stolen" then doesn't that suggest that I knew it was actually stolen and not just lost? When Trump states with regards to appointing Sessions as AG: “Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else.” Yet isn't that basically a Freudian slip from Trump, in as much as that at the time he appointed Sessions, there was no investigation and the Trump campaign had apparently done nothing wrong, and so Sessions will at that time have had nothing to recuse himself for? Unless of course Trump at the time of appointing Sessions knew full well that his campaign had colluded with Russia, yet Sessions could only recuse himself later on, once the shit was about to hit the fan.

[@blackhogarth4049]

It kind of seems like Trump doesn't know what recusal means.

[@connierichie5336]

Very good points. It appears also that Trump, in putting his cabinet together, displays discontent with only those connected to the investigation. Everyone else seems to be holding down their jobs just fine. With the exception of Sean Spicer, who is meant to defend the administrations words and actions.

[@cmeza1985]
