How come Donald Trump finds Christine Ford's testimony as compelling?
He likes lies
Because it was?
In fact, it was so compelling, even an insensitive brute like Trump was moved by it.
It was a scripted line fed to him by his speechwriters.
Whether he actually believes it or not is uncertain, but he actually sounded sincere to me.
Someone told him that if he says that, he'll sound like he cares.
Also gives him an out if things get even more interesting
Noted by many sources, Ford's testimony is credible in that she definitely thinks something happened to her back in 1983. She's certain it was Kavanaugh. But she has zero supporting evidence. No corroboration, no witnesses. Her memory that it was Kavanaugh is very recent. Her memory of the details is very sketchy. Sane people are not willing to convict Kavanaugh based on fuzzy 35 year old memories with ZERO support.
He was caught off guard by the vultures, er, press corps when he was in a private meeting w/the Prez of Chile, and what did you expect him to say… That she was a dolt?
He watched her testimony like all of us did
It was quite the script that she read
The official position is that she is mistaken.
Because he is such a compassionate and caring and loving man.
- Will Donald Trump be re-elected in 2020? I know that incumbent presidents usually get re-elected, but there have been exceptions (Gerald Ford in 1976, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George H.W. Bush in 1992), so, do you believe Trump would win in 2020? Also, who do you believe the Democrats would get to run against him?
- Why did Trump say of Dr. Ford: I thought her testimony was very compelling, looks like a very fine woman and was a very credible witness? I thought her testimony was very compelling, and she looks like a very fine woman to me. A very fine woman. It was incredible. It was an incredible moment, I think, in the history of our country. But certainly she was a very credible witness. She was very good in many respects. https://www.c-span.org/video/?452222-1/president-trump-reacts-calls-delaying-vote-kavanaugh-nomination
- What will Donald Trump say about this? Gallup polls has found that former President Barack Obama is the Most Admired Man in America for the 11th year in a row. Trump is the first President since Ford to not be at the top of the list, and the second since Truman. Do you suppose he's happy about the results or will he call it fake news?
- Was it acceptable that Trump mocked Christine Ford's testimony? There were various signs of manipulative intent in how she presented her story and how she kept changing it, yet at the same time Trump is hardly entitled to mock her, having harassed several women in the past and shown zero remorse for it.
