Amanpour and Company

You know I'm a black American so we've, these feelings that people felt right after the election, we've felt that many elections, many elections consecutively and I think that there's some degree people overreacted. Like the alternative to giving him a chance was storming the streets. And I if something good on television, I'm not doing that. I just feel like... HBO has a lot of offerings right now to keep you from storming. Yea, Game of Thrones is on, I can't make the riot tonight. But I don't know. Is he doing a good job, am I happy with what he's doing? No, it has been very difficult to watch the last couple years. Harder than I think I thought it would be in that there was a part of me that thought when you get in that room and it's nighttime and there's no one around and Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln and everybody's up on the walls and they're staring at you, that that that brings a certain cognitive weight to what you're feeling. And I imagine he walked in that room he's like take that down, take that down, put up dogs playing poker, can a fella get some french fries around here. You know I think that oddly enough he transformed the White House and the White House wasn't able to transform him. Back in 2015 when he announced for president, you didn't take it entirely seriously. The man came down an escalator. Can I just play what you said. Oh sure. Like many of you I heard some interesting let's call it news today about about a certain let's say gift from heaven entering the presidential race because apparently Huckabee Santorum wasn't farfetched enough. I've got to tell you the world right now is. Whites are black. Trump is running for president. Should you have taken him more seriously. I mean you were the Oracle Jon. Yeah, now. I didn't think I thought America was going to go, is that an escalator in a mall? I'm not going to vote for that dude. Like I didn't think a: I didn't think he meant it and when he gave that speech quite frankly, I really thought when he said you know Mexico sends us their worst of rapists and murderers, I really thought he had disqualified himself. Not to mention what he said about women. About women, about everything that he said there and I thought this is disqualifying. For me though. And clearly I don't speak for, you know, he's been very effective at like what Dave said, surfing the waves that have been.. I'm watching the midterms. Man you would think our country is Mad Max Thunderdome. This guy is like they're coming from Guatemala, they're coming from Mexico, there's a liberal mob that's coming, Muslims. And you would think everybody in the country is just like to the bunker, to the ramparts.
