Trump on 'fascinating' Fetterman meeting: 'He's just a commonsense person'

“He’s a commonsense person. He’s not liberal or conservative. He’s 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-elect’s 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 Fetterman’s 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.

1. commonsense person equals useful bozo

[Irish_Dem]

2. Jebus God.

No comment.

3. "I don't have the balls to badmouth Fetterman to his face; he's bigger than me."

How is being a "commonsense" person "beautiful"?

[ShazzieB]

13. The word "beautiful" means nothing to Trump.

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!

20. Truth.

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!

4. Solidified his credentials

as the one that Schumer and others should not discuss strategy with because it will instantly travel to Donald Crumb.

[msongs]

5. coulda waited til trump was in DC and sworn in. going to FL is a trump domination move nt

[tulipsandroses]

26. Yes. Why is it necessary to go to Mar A Lago

Nothing unusual about a sitting president meeting with a senator, even from the opposing side. But he’s not yet president. What’s the rush for a meeting?

[sop]

6. Trump probably tried to get over on Gisele.

[yaesu]

7. Usually after such meeting tRump bitches about lipstick stains on his rump. nt

[Bread and Circuses]

8. Never trusted the Hoodie wearing man

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?

I’m 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 didn’t, we know what this.

[ancianita]

21. Maybe he's playing the ingratiating spy?

To get direct access to info that the rest of the caucus wouldn't be privy to? Possibly positioning himself as a "double agent" to con the felon into eventually revealing secrets that could be useful for the party?

[Bread and Circuses]

24. I sure hope so, I'm watching

[MacKasey]

25. Like keep your friends close and your enemies closer

[ancianita]

30. Works for me, yes.

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.

[endgenocide]

27. Agreed he seemed like a loon to

me from day one. He's in way over his head, the democrats Tommy Tuberville!

[happybird]

10. What an ugly, inappropriate comment.

Shameful, even.

[Lunabell]

11. How long folks?

If I were a betting woman, I'd give him 1 month after inauguration to slap an "R" after his name.

[sop]

14. With a three seat Republican majority in the Senate, Fetterman wouldn't make a difference in the balance of

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.

[FakeNoose]

29. THAT will never happen

Fetterman has always been a good reliable Democrat. He's playing some game with Chump, that's all.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

31. Finally, someone gets it right

[VBNMW]

35. These Letters mean nothing to sane people

But everything to partisans.

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

[Escape]

12. So, Trump likes..

Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Adolph Hitler, Hannibal Lector, the January 6th felons and Senator Fetterman.

Got it.

[PortTack]

16. Shame on fetterman! What about the ppl that voted you in office? Doing the best for the ppl of PA...BS!

15. Mansion is not even deceased yet his ghost haunts Fetterman.

[Turbineguy]

17. Better trump listens to Fetterman

than Tuberville.

[ancianita]

22. Yep.

[Deminpenn]

32. True enough

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.

[VBNMW]

36. LOL

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.

OT: Which turbine do you fly?

[lapucelle]

18. The Hill reports on a story from the Washington Examiner that consists of nothing more than

decontextualized snippets from an interview, and it’s news?

“The Washington Examiner said that Trump said that Fetterman said….” Doesn’t strike me as news.

Sounds more like like Trump is stirring up mischief via a right wing news outlet.

[republianmushroom]

19. The convicted felon wouldn't know common sense if it bite him in his ass.

[kimbutgar]

23. Whatever respect I had for him is gone !

I was very sympathetic when he had his stroke but this is awful !

Shame on you Fetterman!

[Polybius]

28. Seems like he's not used to hearing from people with common sense

It's almost as if Trump is surprised!

[bluestarone]

33. I do not like the looks of this, BUT

For now i'll just sit back and watch his future votes before i make my final decision on him.

[Miguelito Loveless]

34. So, who can primary Fetterman

now that he has declared as a Vichy Democrat?
