Leaked Trump tape: 'You are the special people'

President Donald Trump, living alone inside the White House, often hungers for friendly interaction as he adjusts to the difficult work of governance. At his clubs, he finds what’s missing.

That showed last November at a cocktail and dinner reception celebrating longtime members of his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club. Deep into the process of meeting potential Cabinet nominees, the president-elect invited partygoers to stop by the next day to join the excitement.

“We’re doing a lot of interviews tomorrow — generals, dictators, we have everything,” Trump told the crowd, according to an audio tape of his closed-press remarks obtained by POLITICO from a source in the room. “You may wanna come around. It’ll be fun. We’re really working tomorrow. We have meetings every 15, 20 minutes with different people that will form our government."

"We’re going to be interviewing everybody — Treasury, we’re going to be interviewing Secretary of State,” he continued. “We have everybody coming in — if you want to come around, it’s going to be unbelievable….so you might want to come along.”

1. Did that include his African-American?

I'm guessing the poorly educated weren't there.

2. "Dictators"

[Ligyron]

3. It's what he puts in his loaded baked taters

[WhiteTara]

9. Generals AND dictators!

I think that is very telling. I think he wants a military coup to enthrone him as Dictator.

4. The American Oligarchs

Why is Trump so "friendly" with the Russians? Maybe it's because he likes the way the rich and powerful run that country and wants the same thing here.

14. I think that was

the promise made to him by the GOP and his ability to get pootie to manipulate the election it was a win, win for everybody. I suspect that's why the kochtopus and all other oligarchs dropped their opposition to agent orange so suddenly. And they also saw that they didn't need to fund him all that much too which was like the sprinkles on top of this shitsundae.

16. I have no doubt at this point that the GOP is in just as deep as 45 with Putin.

[Achilleaze]

5. "The rest of Americans are shit in my book" - republican draft-&-tax-dodger-in-chief

[msanthrope]

6. Somewhere, Mitt Romney is thinking about how "47%" was enough to sink him. nt

[Snarkoleptic]

7. He's in his element, surrounded by adoring followers, working the room.

This is the glib, good-time-charlie personna that's allowed him to BS his way through life. (well, that plus lots of inherited funds)

[Crash2Parties]

17. He burned through the inherited funds long ago & has had to borrow ever since.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Wow. Who here has landed a high paying, important job with a 15 minutes interview?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. That's 15 minutes with the boss. Undoubtedly also interviews with underlings.

Not to forget that there is a ton of paperwork for one of those positions.

Including, ...

... undoubtedly ...

... tax returns.

[JudyM]

13. Didn't ask them anything substantive, just seeing if he liked them & if they'd lick his boots.

[2naSalit]

18. Yeah, I caught that too.

The answer to your question is, never.

[moondust]

11. Because he says so.

And he's the most special, tremendous, superior person that ever lived. Bigly. Just ask him.

White supremacy gone wild.

[WhiteTara]

12. So his personnel recommendations come from

100 or so puffed up rich people. That makes me feel so secure. of course.

We can't get rid of this buffoon soon enough!

[nolabear]

15. "Step right up! Step right up!"

[2naSalit]

19. Thanks!

I love that one, have ever since I first heard it, I think it's the first I ever heard of him when this hit the waves of WBCN so long ago.

[nolabear]

20. You're welcome. He's a god as far as I'm concerned.
