Here's another example:
This is part of a pattern. In the first presidential debate, he congratulated himself for not bringing up Bill's infidelities: "I was going to say something extremely rough to Hillary, to her family, and I said to myself, I can't do it. It's inappropriate. It's not nice." In case anyone wasn't clear about what he was talking about, after the debate he told reporters, "I'm very happy that I was able to hold back on the indiscretions with respect to Bill Clinton." -- vox.com, Oct 7, 2016
This one is kind of disturbing, since the "reports" originated from the other side of the globe, not with leakers ...
Trump: [...] Same thing with Australia. I said "that's terrible that it was leaked" but it wasn't that important. But then I said to myself "what happens when I'm dealing with the problem of North Korea?"
"What happens when I'm dealing with the problems in the Middle East? Are you folks going to be reporting all of that very, very confidential information, very important, very -- you know, I mean at the highest level? Are you going to be reporting about that too? So, I don't want classified information getting out to the public and in a way that was almost a test." -- cnn.com, February 17, 2017
This one was to Bill-O -- back when he still had the gig ...
Trump: Well, I must tell you, the other day, I walked into the main entrance of the White House, and I said to myself, "This is sort of amazing." Or you walk into Air Force One. It's like a surreal experience, in a certain way, but you have to get over it, because there's so much work to be done, whether it's jobs or other nations that truly hate us. You have to get over it. -- sbnation.com, February 5, 2017
Too bad the guy has not taken his own "inner reveal" words to heart, that "there's so much work to be done" ... he had better "get over it" -- you know being awestruck by the weightiness of the Job, he just walked into.
Or maybe he has "gotten over it" -- just in entirely the wrong way. Tweeting is afterall, a way to take the "seriousness" out of about everything, this down-on-his luck poker-player does.
Who knows "what farm" he'll bet next, to get his next self-validation fix. Afterall, if there's one thing Donald's "tell" tells us, it is this -- he sure spends a lot of time talking to himself.
That's one captive audience, I suppose. One he still hopes to impress, if he just keeps bluffing his way through his brand new "surreal experience."
Wow.
