The 40 must-see lines from Donald Trump's interview with Laura Ingraham
Whoa boy.
So, yes, I am on vacation.
But I can only sit in the sun so much.
And Donald Trump sat for an interview with none other than Laura Ingraham.
I mean, how can I resist?!
I got my hands on a transcript of the speech. I went through it line by line — and pulled out the Trump quotes you need to see.
They’re below.
This is one of a handful of posts I regularly put behind the paywall. It’s hard work and I think I am the only one consistently doing it! If you have been on the fence about becoming a paid subscriber, now is the time! It’s $6 a month or $60 for the entire year!
To the Lines!
“She is younger. I mean, she's 60 years old. A lot of people -- I didn't know she was 60. I thought she was a little younger, but she's 60.”
Many people are saying Kamala Harris is 60. (She’s 59.) And away we go!
“She is talking a big game, but her game is pretty bad.”
“It's very hard to find an article now that talks about border czar, but we have them all. We copied them a long time ago.”
“We copied them.” Trump, in terms of his lens on the world, is totally stuck in the ‘80s.
“In politics, when you start off saying something, that's where you are.”
“What if c-a-t really spelled ‘dog’?” — Ogre
“But we have 20 million people that have come into the country. I would say, by now, it's 20. It's probably going over that number.”
“They're coming from mental institutions, insane asylums. I always say that's a step above a mental institution.”
They are not. Also, an insane asylum is a “step above” a mental institution”? Who knew!
“He doesn't want to give up immunity, because, if he didn't have immunity -- look at all the things he did, the $3.5 million from Russia, all the money he has taken in from China, all of the bad things and the evil things he's done, not to mention the thousands of people killed in the border”
There are so so many things here that aren’t true. Joe Biden never got $3.5 million from Russia. (There is an allegation that Hunter Biden did.) Also, there’s no evidence that Biden ever got money from China. It’s sort of hard to fact check “all of the bad things and the evil things” Biden has done.
“They staged a coup against the president of the United States. They went in and they told him, you're leaving. You're way down in the polls, 17 points, I think.”
Democrats did not stage a coup against Biden. He is still the president. Also, Biden was never behind by 17 points.
“It's like you're in a fight with somebody, and you're really winning, and they take him out and they put somebody else in.”
It’s not “like” that. That’s exactly what happened.
“This is a coup. They took him. They said, even though you got 14 million votes, you're out.”
This NOT a coup. While we’re here, this is the definition of a “coup”: “A sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.”
