Chris Wallace Grills Priebus: 'How Does Arguing About Crowd Size Help the American People?'

by Josh Feldman | 9:32 am, January 22nd, 2017

-snip-

Wallace asked Priebus, “President Trump said in his inaugural address that every decision he makes will be to benefit American families. How does arguing about crowd size do that?”

Priebus said this isn’t about crowd sizes, but about “honesty in the media.” He said, “We’re not gonna sit around and take it.”

Wallace shot back that where honesty is concerned, Trump said two “flat-out wrong” things. He showed photos from both inaugurations and asked Priebus which one is bigger. Priebus argued that the Trump inauguration one was taken before he started speaking.

Wallace called this “a ridiculous conversation” and took serious issue with Trump’s characterization of how big the crowd was.

Priebus complained that the press won’t talk about substance, but Wallace shot back that it was Trump and Spicer’s decision to make the crowd size thing a big issue.

As bad as this is for the world in general, the GOP as a political party will suffer, too.

embryo a human being, declare jerusalem the capitol of israel, repeal ACA, cut safety nets, run down the media/facts/knowledge, eliminate the NEA and dept of energy and dept of education, nominate a nut for SCOTUS, install all the foxes in the cabinet henhouses, etc -- and then the gop and dems will take him down together and we'll reset with Pence. Most presidents only get the first year to do major stuff anyway. Trump may or may not be aware of this bigger alternative picture but I bet Pence is.

This administration is not in it for the long haul. They are not building bridges, they are burning them.

After gop cleans house, most voters will be relieved not to have to listen to Trump, Conway, Spicer....and Pence will get another honeymoon, coasting till 2018 and 2020 when the gop won't have to be defending Trump every day.

Bush hid the body bags, Trump will exploit them for publicity. Trump like W lacks any ability to act out sympathy, however, W had the common sense to hide it and take advice.

The only people tRump intends to help are already rich. Ordinary citizens do not count in this administration. Well, rich people and of course the Russian leaders.
