Awful news. Disagreed with him about a lot of policy issues but he is an honourable man and a true patriot, hope he recovers.

I rescind this statement. Completely out of bounds to try to score political points.
Sorry GOT. That was not on.
Very sad news, a good man!
This is a quite remarkable interview for lots of reasons, not least this section

Is there anyone in the Trump admin who hasn't had dodgy dealings with Russia???
$2,000,000 fine from $7,800,000,000 profit for 2016 is 0.025%. Average UK annual wage is £27,000. That fine, for the average UK earner would equate to £6.75.
£6.75 fine for breaking the law, some would think quite a serious law, not dropping litter in the street, which is fixed penalty notice and will get you a fine more than ten times that amount, or a speeding ticket which would get you a fine about fifteen times that, but breaking international sanctions.
When the punishment is so inappropriate for the crime then no wonder companies are going to do it, I bet they got far more than that is simple bribes.

He is just pure comedy gold - an absolute car crash of a US President
What amazes me is that some dimwit in his team sanctioned the release of the FULL transcript as ON THE RECORD. You could not make it up - both his verbal diarrhea and the poor press management. The more you read it, the more you picture the journos taking turns to bait him into even more stupid remarks - it must be the game of the day for the WH correspondants.

I love the NY Times' pithy retort on Trump's tenuous grasp of European history..
"Mr. Trump may have been confusing Napoleon Bonaparte with his nephew, Louis Napoleon or Napoleon III, when he claimed that Napoleon “designed Paris.” In 1853, about 30 years after the first Napoleon died, Napoleon III appointed Georges-Eugène Haussmann to carry out his reconstruction project, envisioned to accommodate rapid population growth and to discourage future revolutions, according to the Museum of the City.
“His one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death,” Mr. Trump continued.
While he identified the correct Napoleon, his version of the 18th-century conqueror’s failed attempt to invade Russia is garbled. Napoleon’s 1812 campaign into Russia lasted about six months, not, as Mr. Trump suggested, one night. And the French emperor did take Moscow in September, before withdrawing a month later as food supplies began to dwindle. Of nearly half a million men under his command, only about 6,000 made it back home and the others died in battle or succumbed to disease or the weather.
Asked what Mr. Trump could have meant by “extracurricular activities,” Adam Zamoyski, the author of “Moscow 1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March,” said: “I can’t make head or tail of it. You could argue that all of Napoleon’s activities were ‘extracurricular’! As are Trump’s.”
