timeletsAnd the last thing for this morning: in the second part of the O'Reilly interview Trump says (3:50), "I'm an honest person, blah-blah-blah."
I think this is hilarious.
upd: the "I'm an honest person" phrase is a cliche tactic to negotiate the other party down. People use it as a trick to create an illusion of objectivity and separate themselves psychologically from negative statements directed at the opponent. The rule is, expect a bunch of lies when you hear somebody say, "I'm an honest person."
