Former White House chief of staff tells friends that Trump 'is the most flawed person' he's ever met
(CNN)Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has told friends that President Donald Trump "is the most flawed person" he's ever known.
"The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life," the retired Marine general has told friends, CNN has learned.
The reporting comes from a new CNN special scheduled to air Sunday night, "The Insiders: A Warning from Former Trump Officials," in which former senior administration officials -- including former national security adviser John Bolton, former Health and Human Services scientist Rick Bright and former Department of Homeland Security general counsel John Mitnick -- explain why they think the President is unfit for office.
Kelly's sentiments about the President's transactional nature and dishonesty have been shared by other former members of the Trump administration who also appear in the special.
Olivia Troye, a former top adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, has said the President knew about the impact the coronavirus pandemic would have on the US by mid-February, but that "he didn't want to hear it, because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year." Miles Taylor, a former DHS chief of staff who now serves as a CNN contributor, has asserted Trump essentially calls individuals within the federal government who disagree with him "deep state."

I was thinking the Trump clan will be hoping to bunk with Snowden in Russia.

Donald owes the Russians billions and will cost them many billions more in seized assets, he might not want to go there. Even if he did go there those Russians can sue him in Russian court and clean him out, being poor in Russia ain't Donald's thing, neither is failing from windows. If Donald was going to Russia, someone would have to smooth the way for a temporary stay at best, Joe would have to call Vlad and I doubt he would. Now if Donald suddenly showed up on Vlad's doorstep with nukes, Vlad dare not refuse him landing rights while he had control of the football, he might as well blow him out of the sky.
Donald has no friends and nowhere to go except perhaps Russia, but there are problems with that. I figure they will arrest him at Mar Logo sometime in January or February.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2020/10/16/biden-trump-townhall-ratings/
Nearly 700,000 more viewers on Thursday watched former vice president Joe Biden’s town hall live on television than those who watched President Trump’s, according to data released Friday afternoon by measurement company Nielsen.
Biden’s town hall on ABC averaged 14.1 million viewers, compared to about 13.5 million for Trump’s NBC town hall. The higher figure for Biden’s event is particularly surprising given that he appeared just on one network, compared to Trump, whose town hall was simulcast on MSNBC and CNBC.
According to ABC, “The Vice President and the People” is the network’s most-watched prime-time telecast since the Oscars in February.
These figures from Nielsen includes streaming services such as Roku or Apple TV viewed on television sets. While both town halls began at 8 p.m., Trump’s NBC event lasted one hour, whereas Biden’s went on for an additional 30 minutes, spilling into the 9 o’clock hour.
These final numbers slightly narrow the ratings gap for NBC from Nielsen’s preliminary data earlier in the day, which counted television-only viewers and found 13.9 million watching Biden compared to just over 13 million who watched Trump across the three networks.
Both events paled in comparison to the audience that potentially would have watched them together. The Sept. 29 presidential debate attracted an estimated 73.1 million viewers who tuned in across 16 networks, per Nielsen.
Savannah Guthrie grilled Trump like few others have, taking the heat off NBC for its town hall
The second presidential debate had been scheduled for Thursday, but Trump refused to participate under the new rules established for it.
The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates had announced after the chaos of the first debate that it would “ensure additional tools to maintain order are in place for the remaining debates.” And after the president’s positive coronavirus diagnosis, the commission announced the second debate would take place virtually. When Trump refused to participate, Biden accepted ABC’s standing invitation to conduct a televised town hall Thursday.
In response, Trump accepted NBC’s standing invitation for a town hall, to take place at the same time as Biden’s — a move for which NBC was roundly criticized, given viewers would have to choose between watching Trump or Biden, rather than being able to watch both candidates live.
C-SPAN suspends Steve Scully after he says he lied about his Twitter account being hacked
Both candidates have now participated in town halls hosted by ABC and NBC. Trump’s Sept. 15 town hall on ABC was seen by 3.8 million people, per Nielsen. Biden’s NBC town hall last week was seen by an estimated 6.7 million across the affiliated three networks.
Trump has a long history of fixating on television ratings, dating back to his time as a reality TV host on NBC. Even as president, he has chimed in on the TV ratings for everything from the Oscars to NFL games as evidence of his popularity.
More recently, Trump boasted about Republican National Convention ratings beating the Democratic National Convention by citing a figure that appears to have been sourced from a Fox News report that attributed the higher ratings figure to an unnamed Trump campaign official.
Per Nielsen, the Democratic National Convention drew more TV viewers. As the Associated Press noted in its fact check, “there is no way to truly calculate the total views across platforms, including all online streaming options.”
Just hours before Thursday’s NBC town hall, Trump referred to the network as “fake.”
This story has been updated with Nielsen’s final ratings numbers.

A very good example of why I say it is very important to read the source material/full speeches and draw your own conclusions about what it is.This is the kind of stuff I was referring to:
On a podcast with Barack Obama and in a letter co-signed by "The Squad," fresh signs of the Democratic Party fight to come
The biggest challenge a potential President Biden might have is not in finding cooperation with Republicans, but in keeping his own party happy.www.cbsnews.com
full letter
This is a good example of a journalist who is selling some controversy in the Democratic party where there is none, while evoking 'the Squad' to sell the narrative.
The letter above has nothing to do with Biden or any schism between his stance and theirs, it was a letter to the senate leadership.
Actually this reminded me of a previous account that was trying to pretend like Biden was saying something different and actually when I watched the full speech he did on CSPAN it turned out that Biden was actually making the same argument that the above legislators are making in that above letter:
https://www.rollitup.org/t/should-democrats-shut-down-the-debates.1008558/post-15379597
The Democratic party is pulling from 100% of our nation's voices. Yes that is a lot more chaotic than the Republicans representing about 33%, but it is also far more effective.
Journalist are just as easily caught up in the propaganda warfare as any other American/citizen of a democracy, and say a bunch of stupid shit. That is why it is far more important that people learn how to digest actual information for themselves and not get spoon-fed narratives that sound all edgy.
