I watched, for the second time, the Tom Arnold interview from Friday's Nicole Wallace Show.

Something is not right. All the things he said that he and Cohen has on Trump, you would think Mueller surely has them, too Also, Arnold was plugging his show. I'm hopeful that he is not doing this as an attempt to get people to watch his show and it doesn't interfere with the Russian investigation?

2. I won't guess what his motives are, but....

If it's in the news that Cohen is going to spill his guts, it's got to be making -45 even more insane than he already is. I'm good with any and all pressure on -45, no matter where it comes from and no matter what the reason is.

I fully expect -45 to have a complete breakdown before this is finished.

Would be to plug the show. He has to do that.

That fact should not absolve the President and others of their crimes.

unsettling. I do wish the msm would have stayed away from Arnold promoting his show, but the trainwreck is too much for them to resist; it sells.

5. My guess is that it's true they are both trying to take down RUMP...but not together as in

the physical sense. My guess is that Arnold may be referring to gossipy Cohen tapes...not criminal. Those the prosecutors have.

8. Arnold came off looking like a bush-league con man running an inept snowjob.

He seemed totally unprepared to answer even the basic questions. Between tooting his own horn, the shameless self promotions and plugs for his show, he responded with rhetorical shifts, amateurish zingers, innuendos and threadbare allusions to deceptive claims intended to mislead and give the impression that he was some sort of power player.

Me.

a lot of fast talking with no real answers, name dropping and his hand sliding over his mouth for a lot of the interview.

10. Listened to his interview with O'Donnell

It started off promising, but when O'Donnell pressed him on a few things, it was pretty obvious Arnold was just there to promote himself, his new show and the channel the new show is on.

I'm not taking anything Arnold says or does seriously.

of Trump behaving badly in The Apprentice out takes, and said he would soon release them?

I think TA is just trying to get attention.

12. He has had past issues with mental health, as well as cocaine/alcohol..

He strikes me as untreated/poorly treated bipolar in a manic phase.

I don't think anyone is taking him seriously. Sort of like former Trumper Sam Nunberg's meltdown. TV for a day or so and then poof.

I'm not sure what his intentions are, but I sure as hell wouldn't listen to him on this or any subject.

Tom Arnold on any of the shows last night because I think he's a wacko and I'd be skeptical of anything that comes out of his mouth.
