Donald Trump deflected responsibility for misleading Americans about the length of the Iran war, dismissed low poll ratings as “fake numbers” and refused to rule out the possibility of declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine.
When confronted with questions about the length of the Iran war, the US president blamed the media for reporting his remarks in which he said the conflict was projected to last “four to five weeks”, in March.
“ … I think the press fed it to them,” Trump told Time when asked whether Americans misunderstood him.
The one actual attempt was real enough for the two guys in the stands behind Trump that took bullets. One died, the other did survive. The second “attempt” was some nut that managed to sneak onto the Mar-a-Lago golf course before getting caught. Trump was certainly happy to play up the part of the victim, big wad of gauze over the nick on his ear, “Oh, look at how bad people treat me!”
That nick on his ear could have been caused by the secret service when they pulled him down.
Could have been from that easily enough. Their job is to drag the president down and cover him, and not worry about taking time to do it gently.
