President Donald Trump used a Super Bowl pregame interview to rail against Democrats, accusing them of hatred and offering schoolyard insults about his potential 2020 rivals.
“I see the hatred. … They don’t care about fairness, they don’t care about lying,” Trump said in a taped interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, which aired on Fox hours before sports’ biggest night of the year.
Trump spent his weekend in Florida as most of the political world has been focused on Iowa, where Democrats on Monday will cast their first votes to choose the party’s nominee.
Prompted by Hannity, Trump went through most of the major candidates one by one, deriding “Sleepy Joe” Biden, the former vice president, accusing Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren of telling “fairy tales,” and labeling Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, as “a communist,” even though he’s not.
But Trump seemed most preoccupied by the candidates who has chosen to skip the early-voting sates: Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor who has been blanketing the airwaves with anti-Trump ads.
The president’s campaign and Bloomberg’s will be running dueling, multimillion-dollar ads during Sunday night’s game.
In the Fox interview, Trump accused Bloomberg, who is 5 feet, 8 inches tall, of making a special request for a box to stand on if he qualifies for future presidential debates. Bloomberg’s campaign denies that is the case.
“Why should he get a box to stand on?” Trump asked. “Why should he be entitled to that, really? Then does that mean everyone else gets a box?”
Bloomberg campaign spokeswoman Julie Wood said Trump was “lying.″
“He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan,” she said.
Early Sunday, Trump fired off a series of anti-Bloomberg tweets, calling the billionaire “part of the Fake News” and insisting he “is going nowhere” and “just wasting his money,” despite rising in the polls.
Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair!

Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn’t do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016.

Mini Mike is part of the Fake News. They are all working together. In fact, Bloomberg isn’t covering himself (too boring to do), or other Dems. Only Trump. That sounds fair! It’s all the Fake News Media, and that’s why nobody believes in them any more.

Bloomberg responded with his own aside: “Looks like our ads are keeping you up at night. We’ve got one in particular you should watch today.” Bloomberg’s 60-second spot will focus on the impact of gun violence.

Trump in the Fox interview also criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats. Asked whether it would be possible for him to work with Democrats after they had impeached him and tried to remove him from office, Trump said he’d “like to, but it’s pretty hard when you think about it because it’s been such … I use the word ‘witch hunt,’ use the word ‘hoax.’”
“I’m not sure that they can do it, to be honest,” he added. “I think they just want to win and it doesn’t matter how they win.”
The interview aired just days before Trump was set to deliver a State of the Union address that aides say will offer an optimistic message to a divided nation.
Trump was golfing and mingling with guests at his dues-paying Mar-a-Lago club. On Saturday night, he appeared at an event there hosted by the “Trumpettes” fan club. He praised singer Lee Greenwood, whose song “God Bless the USA” is played every time Trump takes the stage at his rallies. Also in attendance were actor Stephen Baldwin and Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
The president was expected to host his annual Super Bowl watch party before returning to Washington late Sunday.

Democrats hate America.
How can a man who has told over 16,000 lies since his inauguration call anyone else a liar?
yaakov dumb, are you counting your lies?
Whey Sean Hannity has to interrupt the interview to correct one of the Trumpkopf’s lies, you know he is really heading downhill. Fox news journalists have also said the stupid Trump comment about using a box at the debates was also untrue, as denied both by the DNC and Bloomberg but he feels compelled to repeat that lie along with the others. He just cant help himself.
yakov your quoting schiff who told countles lies!!
yakov: ”trumps a liar” (paraphrasing)
Trump is the only president that keeps his promises!!
“Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel and must remain an undivided city accessible to all,” he said in 1992. Clinton even went after former President George H.W. Bush for keeping the embassy in Tel Aviv instead of Jerusalem and then promised to move it.
In 2000, Clinton said:
“I have always wanted to move our embassy to west Jerusalem. We have a designated site there. I have not done so because I didn’t want to do anything to undermine our ability to help to broker a secure and fair and lasting peace for Israelis and for Palestinians. But in light of what has happened, I’ve taken that decision under review, and I’ll make a decision sometime between now and the end of the year on that.”
He never delivered.
Former President George W. Bush
“As soon as I take office, I will begin the process of moving the United States ambassador to the city Israel has chosen as its capital,” he said in 2000. Bush added that he would “start the process as soon as I’m sworn in.”
He never delivered.
Former President Barack Obama
“I continue to say that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel, and I have said that before, and I will say it again,” he said in 2008. In another speech that year, Obama stated, “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.”
He never delivered.
In contrast, President Trump made a promise during his campaign in 2016 to “move the American embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem.”

In 2017, Trump made the first step and announced that “it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel”:
“While previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise, they failed to deliver. Today, I am delivering. I’ve judged this course of action to be in the best interest of the United States of America and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This is a long-overdue step to advance the peace process and work towards a lasting agreement.”
Then, of course, on Monday, the U.S. Embassy was officially opened in Jerusalem.
Promises made, promises kept, just as Trump said during his campaign.

KEEP AMERICA GREAT
Nothing to do with the Hannity interview but for those of you watching the Fox broadcast of the super bowl, hope you changed the channel for the yinglach before you left the living room during halftime. Even for those who are a bit more tolerant, Fox seems to be pushing the margins of “family-friendly” entertainment. I wish they would go back to the good=ole days of fully-clothed marching bands playing patriotic marching songs.
To yaakov doe: I think your question answers itself.
Would someone tell the Dorothy (aka “the Donald”) and Toto that, ” they are not in Kansas anymore” and never have been. . Actually, notwithstanding the Trumpkopf’s tweet several minutes ago congratulating the people of Kansas City and the Great State of KANSAS on the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl, Kansas City is in MISSOURI, not Kansas (There is a much smaller Kansas City in Kansas but thats not where the Chiefs play). The “Stable Genius” clearly missed geography 101 but so did Obama (who claimed he had visited all 57 States).
thank you Trump for bring forward Jews whom we should not vote for or even consider other than wishing them a refuah_____Bloomberg Sanders Shiff Schumer are truly an example of what we should not be or where we should not travel____worse lies reside similarly in JP Haaretz and many more left leaning ridicule
Not sure what business any self-respecting yid has watching the super bowl
Gadolhadorah, are you having your TDS outbreak again,? take some medications to control it,. Your comments are incoherent, the worst i have seen on this forum.
