Trump needs to stop sending mixed messages on torture

President Donald Trump stunned an ABC News reporter by bringing up the March for Life in an interview at the White House aired Wednesday night. Their discussion did not do much to dispel rumors that he’s obsessed with the size of the crowd at his inauguration, and his feud with the media.

The draft order calls for top national security officials to “recommend to the president whether to re-initiate a program of interrogation of high-value alien terrorists to be operated outside the United States and whether such program should include the use of detention facilities operated” by the CIA, which the USA spy agency controlled after the 2001 al-Qaida terrorist attacks on NY and Washington. Here’s a rundown of the most befuddling moments.

“You’re gonna have a large crowd on Friday, too, which is mostly pro-life people”.

“You have people that are registered who are dead, who are illegals, who are in two states”.

Much of the evidence against the so-called “9/11 Five” remains hidden in a 6,700-page classified government report on torture, which defense teams are infuriated they can’t see, even though the lawyers have security clearances.

“We should’ve taken the oil“, Trump said in the Wednesday interview. Trump accused Becker of “groveling“. He repeatedly talked about the crowd size as shown in those photos.

Trump made this claim several times throughout the presidential campaign and as far back as 2007, according to Politifact. “Okay, these are people that voted for Hillary Clinton. What you do say is that the press doesn’t cover them”. “I respect that. But they weren’t there, I was”. One guy gets away with your child.

Trump still believes the USA should have “taken the oil” from Iraq and calls critics who said he would be breaking worldwide law by doing that “fools”. “Some people said it’s going to be larger”. When Muir read a tweet contradicting that, Trump ignored him and continued explaining how he could have won the popular vote if he wanted to. “They vote twice. There are millions of votes, in my opinion”, Trump told “World News Tonight” Anchor David Muir during an interview today at the White House.

The comments came on the same day that the New York Times and the Washington Post published a leaked document suggesting that the administration was seeking to bring back Bush-era interrogation practices and reinstate facilities known as “black sites” (also known as secret prisons) to detain terror suspects. I wouldn’t have been in Maine. I’m very good at this stuff.And why not?

So I went to the Central Intelligence Agency, my first step. I never even went there. It’s also going to be good for Mexico.

Viewers of Trump’s ABC interview didn’t miss the president’s shot at the media and reacted to the zing on Twitter. Now, you’re telling me Pew report has all of a sudden changed.

TRUMP: No, you shouldn’t-But let me just tell you.

Before we get to Trump’s know-nothingism, there was one exchange that provided an unusually succinct summation Trump’s worldview, if you can call it that. Mitchell says he started talking.

“I won’t allow you (Muir and the media) to demean that crowd and to demean the people that came to D.C. from faraway places”, Trump said.

Whatever happens, he’s keen to build the wall asap: “We have to build the wall”.

Trump said construction on the wall-which some estimates say will cost American taxpayers $25 billion and take at least four years to complete-will begin in a matter of months and that Mexico will pay for it.

“No, you should”, Trump responded.

The Senate Democrats said reports that Trump is considering restarting the Bush-era programs are “deeply troubling”. It’s unclear what he was referring to, and the line was cut from the broadcast. That location was given to me.
