60 Minutes does Trumpence

That was painful to watch and listen to. Trump’s ego was on full display (quelle surprise!), and he interrupted and rolled over both his VP candidate and his interviewer constantly. There were half-a-dozen really uncomfortable moments in there, or they’d be uncomfortable if the candidate were a normal sensitive human being.

Remember how he’s lambasted Hillary Clinton for voting in favor of using military force against Iraq? You’d think it would be awkward that Mike Pence voted for it too; he was in Congress then. Not for Donald, though! “He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.” Lesley Stahl tried to get him to acknowledge that was a little hypocritical, but not a chance.

My favorite line was near the end, though:

Lesley Stahl: You’re not known to be a humble man. But I wonder–

Donald Trump: I think I am, actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.

There there, little lady, you just don’t get it.
