    Nixon: “I am not a crook!”

    Was a crook, after all.

    trump: “I am not a pedophile!”

    …multiple, repeated allegations and testimony.

    Hmmm…

    Obligatory mention of: “R Kelly is not a pedophile, technically speaking”

    Not only a pedophile. He’s also a rapist of children.

      And quite possibly an infant murderer, according to some reports. And possibly much more.

    Just ask yourself what the Russians or mossad have on him? They must have something real juicey, that he is willing to sacrifice 1000’s of lives to protect his reputation. Although, for most, his reputation is already disgusting and corrupt.

    60 Minutes has been such a fucking propaganda outlet since CBS got bought by Trump’s billionaire buddy, Larry Ellison, and EVEN STILL, it’s not enough for him.

    Literally the most soft-ball interview imaginable, the interviewer read a short excerpt from the alleged shooter’s manifesto about fighting pedophiles - it didn’t even directly accuse him!!! - and he freaked out, started saying “I’m not a pedophile” and whinging about how disgusting and disgraceful the interviewer is for bringing it up.

    It’s the most self-reporting behavior imaginable.

      Isn’t this how most people get caught? You say something in general then the accuser defends themselves. If he’s not a pedo then release the files

      The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn’t help but make it about himself.

        Right, but he was never a leader. He’s a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!
