Trump on 'fascinating' Fetterman meeting: 'He's just a commonsense person'
Source: The Hill
Hes a commonsense person. Hes not liberal or conservative. Hes just a commonsense person, which is beautiful, Trump said in an interview with the Washington Examiner.
Fetterman was the first Senate Democrat to meet with Trump after the president-elects victory, while many Republican lawmakers have traveled to the Palm Beach resort to sit down with the incoming president.
The president-elect told the news outlet he was positive about how the meeting went and praised Fettermans wife, Gisele.
He also told the Examiner that U.S. Steel, Israel, the U.S.-Mexico border and acquiring Greenland were discussed in the meeting with the Pennsylvania senator.

(19,271 posts)It's just one of the all purpose words he likes to throw around.
Anything TSF likes or approves of is "beautiful." Anything he doesn't like or approve of is a "disaster." There are many other examples that i can't recall right now. Using the same interchangeable words for everything is much easier than coming with specific words for every situation!
Also, astute post!
You've got his rhetorical lexicon of 'nothing' down.
Intriguing -- maybe for the fun of it we could pull together a bunch of other "nothing" words he uses. It's not as if we haven't been exposed to them over the last eight years. His old/new labels for Democrats like "shifty-Schiff, or "Newscum" come to mind.
Thanks!

(6,665 posts)Nothing unusual about a sitting president meeting with a senator, even from the opposing side. But hes not yet president. Whats the rush for a meeting?

(427 posts)He states that he is advocating for his state. Great, but why fly over to Florida NOW before the Felon is in office?
Have wildfires ravaged Philadelphia?
Im waiting to see the Immediate benefits to help Pennsylvania that required a democratic senator to pay homage.
We should see something this first week, right?
it was soooooo urgent .
I wonder if he wore his torn apart gym shorts and ill-fitting hoodies.
Clue- if he didnt, we know what this.

(39,471 posts)We'll know more when we see his votes; I'm erring on the side that he votes with the Senate caucus on the floor and in committees.

(12,328 posts)power, and he is of no real political value to Trump. Doesn't mean Fetterman won't switch parties, but he has nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

The dude is a republican who lied to get into office. A child could see this fact. He isn't even hiding it!

(16,459 posts)Who knows, maybe Fetterman will be a good influence on Trump. I'm sure Gisele was during the meeting.
And, it wouldn't surprise me at all that Gisele is the real reason Trump invited Fetterman to FL. She's beautiful. She's also Brazilian which would fit Trump's MO of being attracted to foreign women.
How could one tell the difference between the two?
And no, this isn't there is no difference between D and R post.
Between your two comparisons.

(19,690 posts)decontextualized snippets from an interview, and its news?
The Washington Examiner said that Trump said that Fetterman said
. Doesnt strike me as news.
Sounds more like like Trump is stirring up mischief via a right wing news outlet.
