    'Fireside chat on live television': Trump says he wants to read Ukraine call transcript to American people

    SNIP
    “This is over a phone call that is a good call,” Trump, sitting behind the Resolute Desk, said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. When you read it, it’s a straight call.”
    ENDSNIP

    MODS - I accidentally hit submit too early... please modify thread title

    A. No networks will cover this except Trump TV. Back in FDR's day, people wanted to hear from their President.

    B. Nobody, Conservatives or Americans, are going to watch Trump read a transcript of the call. Conservatives don't really care and Americans are already convinced the call was a part of the QPQ for personal election gain. Him doing this will change nobody's mind.

    C. Does he really think him reading on TV that he wanted Ukraine to look into the Bidens a good thing?? Knowing him, he probably does. But see Item B above for his audience.

    D. Interesting thought... is he going to do both parts? I hope he does Zelensky in a wacky European accept.

    This is a typical Trump stunt, with no forethought or chance of changing minds.

    If you are going to get Fox PrimeTime, go ahead and announce your retirement. That would draw an audience.

    Is he really going to do this and will you watch??

    The second disabled president to use fireside chats. Should be interesting.

    That would be wonderful television.....wonderful

    The reality though is, no matter the truth, there are many low informed voters that would still believe Shifty's parody.

    Makes sense. To many people would rather listen to a hack on tv then actually know what is going on.

    LMAO....now that there was bipartisan support against impeachment. Republicans, Conservatives, Americans, then the Lefts Pundits, Political Operatives will be tuning in. Not only to hear Trump read it. But to show some joy joy at how Trump will diss the Democrats and their Borg Drone followers.

    Why not just play the tape of the phone call verbatim?
    What’s he trying to hide?

    Incorrect.

    That was one of the least ironic posts ever made on this forum.

    Bonespurs going on TV to read what we all now understand is a memo, edited by other half-wits, of a portion of the dim-witted conversation that he had with Zelensky.

    This is a stupid idea; I endorse it with gusto.

    If he channeled his inner Nixon, it is probably already edited or gone.

    I guess you don’t see it.

    Moreover, I think it’s shameful you refer to our CIA agents as dim wits.

    Trump can’t stick to script!

    It will be the first three maybe four words and then he will wander off into La la land like he usually does

    I'd rather have a tooth pulled without anesthetics than listen to him trying to read.
