I’m Sorry I Missed This

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--

TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else. pic.twitter.com/OXlKlC3SQt

"Yeah, Doocy! The topic is college football!🏈 This is serious!”

In case you missed that topic:

Putin is sharing intelligence with the Iranians to help them target U.S. service members & officials in the Middle East. The Trump Admin's response: "Frankly, it does not really matter."

This is a truly stunning dereliction of our government's duty to protect American lives. https://t.co/5aeW7BaB1a

When the FUCK! does it matter?

Trump on why he wants to talk about college sports instead of his war in Iran: "We're talking about colleges that are gonna go out of business. Many, many colleges. This isn't just about student athletes. This is about our whole educational system is gonna go out of business… pic.twitter.com/cAAWrFcZbh

Trump on why he wants to talk about college sports instead of his war in Iran: "We're talking about colleges that are gonna go out of business. Many, many colleges. This isn't just about student athletes. This is about our whole educational system is gonna go out of business because of this. So I understand what you're saying in terms of the level of importance, but to me this is very important."

MUCH more important than soldiers dying in war! (And colleges make money on football, because of TeeVee contracts and alumni with more money than goddamned sense. And the majority of the colleges with serious football programs are public, not private. And frankly, would be better off without major football programs. But the genie left that bottle a long time ago.)

DOOCY: What is motivating you to do this right now? There is a lot of other stuff going on in the world

TRUMP: In Iran we're doing very well. Somebody said, 'How would you score it from 0 to 10?' I said, 'I'd give it a 12 to a 15.' pic.twitter.com/0hUzIUsI2i

No wonder he got pissed at Doocy.

Trump on the current system of compensation for college athletes: "I think you should just go back to what you had and let some judge tell you you can't do it. And you appeal it up and you win at some point, because I think what you had was a great system." pic.twitter.com/Ku2QyZ2AqL

Well, the Iran war is running itself, and this college football thing can be fixed with an EO (that’ll show them pesky courts!), so: next?
