Scott Galloway, a professor of marketing at NYU Stern School of Business and an Amazon expert, told MSNBC on Friday why he thinks President Donald Trump is involved in the National Enquirers alleged blackmail of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Host Stephanie Ruhle asked Galloway to elaborate on his statement from Thursday night, in which he said Trump was probably directly involved because the president never misses opportunity to mock enemies
Also he is petty, immature and terrible role model for youth.
A key tell among law enforcement officials is when someone is driving 45 miles an hour in the fast lane, that theyre hiding something, Galloway explained. The presidents silence on this is eerie.
He tweeted about Bezos calling him Bozo January 4th but this is someone who never misses an opportunity to mock someone he perceives as an adversary via Twitter and he hasnt said anything and I think thats thats a tell here
And like with a Facebook hack or any scandal involving the president, the only thing we know for sure is that its almost worser, always worse than we originally thought. I think this is going to be one of the biggest stories of 2019 and there are several cards still to be turned over here.
Put another way: The president and [American Media Inc.] are both acting like guilty parties right now, Galloway added.

tRump: Hey Roger, you know some girl maybe you can get to hit on that Bozo and break up his marriage? You know some hottie that works for a local Fox affiliate we can get Sean to maybe entice her with a job on Fox and Friends?
Stone: Yeah, Donnie. I got just the girl. I got a buddy, Michael Sanchez, his sister Lauren is a hottie. You might have seen her. She works in LA. Been on the View and a few other shows. Michael loves ya. He and his sis are real close. I'll see what we can do.
tRump: Hey Pecker! You up to take down Bezos?
Pecker: Pardon me, Donnie? I gotta be careful, but hey, for you, anything...
And that's how it all began...

(38,458 posts)There was a 15 minute gap in a key "Nixon Tape". Lot's of speculation on that one, but everyone's best guess is that Nixon erased the tape himself, (to protect his long term secretary whom he wanted to keep out of the show)..
_____________________________________________________________________________________
While the Nixon show was amazing, the key is exactly the same as you said, " I am not surprised at anything that comes out of this shit show.
Somewhere in my basement, I got two headline of newspapers with NIXON saying, "I am not a crook"...and "I will not resign...........but...HE WAS A CROOK, AND HE DID RESIGN
Trump and Nixon had one identical characteristic. "They both thought (Trump still thinks) that they can get away with anything. Fool anybody anytime, all the time. Trump can lie all he wants, but this committee now headed by Democrats, will get him. Why?..that is so simple: Trump is a crook too, and he cannot get away with ..anything.......
One more important point, and it is short..
....Who is at the top of the case going after the big crooks?...Former head of FBI, who has gone after big crooks in the past.........(perhaps,..not known..with help from another former head of FBI)
blue-wave
(4,375 posts)and your point about "Trump and Nixon had one identical characteristic. They both thought (Trump still thinks) that they can get away with anything." is sooo true. Narcissistic sociopaths never think they will get caught. That's why they are so dangerous.

(10,299 posts)Trump repeatedly accused President Obama of using US intelligence agencies to "tap his phones." Since Trump always accuses others of the same sh*tty things he's done in the past, or intends doing in the future, does anyone believe Trump wouldn't abuse the vast intelligence gathering capabilities at his disposal now as president to damage his enemies?
