Brett Bair was giving him an opportunity to do damage control but he's too stupid.

"Donald Trump has doubled down on his remark about not considering the financial plight of everyday Americans when considering foreign policy, saying that what he had said was a “perfect statement.”

“I’d make it again,” the president replied, when asked about the comments by Fox News’ Bret Baier, in an interview that aired Friday evening"

I hope he keeps repeating it until the midterms .

Never admitting he was wrong is his damage control strategy

It seems effective with his core base

I didn't need to hear twice what I already knew in the first place. Billionaires don't give a fuck about the rest of us. Hell, they barely give a fuck about their own families. They are literally the worst humans, and I include serial killers and rapists in that comparison.

This, I hate using reddit because it's people repeating the most obvious things over and over until your eyes bleed.

Killers and rapists are psychopaths and so are billionaires

Seems to me that to become a billionaire requires serial killing and raping. So maybe qualifiers on an umbrella term is wasted words?

Murderers and rapists generally have a cap on how many people they can fuck up.

Of course, he doesn't give a shit about Americans. He care about his ego, his net worth, and taking petty revenge on anyone who tells him no. That's it. Anyone who doesn't realize that by now hasn't been paying attention.

They need to put a clip of him saying this in commercials.
