BWAHAhahahaha!

Holy smokerdoodles, this is epic.

Yes, THE Atlantic and THAT Goldberg, and it happened (or is happening) today.

🚨BREAKING: Trump is sitting down with Jeffrey Goldberg today.

I’m dying here.

JUST IN: Trump says he will meet with The Atlantic top editor Jeffrey Goldberg for an interview.

In a Truth Social post, Trump acknowledged the success of the “SignalGate” story. https://t.co/rQ9nWC9E4X

The Axios story alone is pure gold and pure Trump.

President Trump said Thursday that he will meet with The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, for an interview following the Signal chat scandal.

Why it matters: Goldberg prompted scrutiny of the Trump administration’s ability to handle sensitive information after he revealed that he was mistakenly added to the group chat with top administration officials.

• “I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and as a competition with myself, just to see if it’s possible for The Atlantic to be ‘truthful,'” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
• The Atlantic declined to comment.

Zoom in: Atlantic staff writers Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker will also join the Thursday interview, which is for a piece that will be headlined “The most consequential president of this century,” Trump said.

• “The way I look at it, what can be so bad,” he wrote, “I WON!”

I don’t think there is a single lion’s den on Earth that Trump wouldn’t walk right into any time he felt like it.

Any time, any place, any body.

As one wag on X just said, ‘Biden wouldn’t do a Fox interview on Superbowl Sunday.’

Trump handsomely gives a nod to Goldberg on the SignalGate story but I have a feeling he may well go in for the kill on the ‘suckers and losers’ lie that scoundrel passed as gospel years ago. A thoroughly debunked, vicious lie, and one that Goldberg has never retracted or apologised for.

Watters: Jeffrey Goldberg Is A Trump Hoax Machine

Trump’s a reformed curmudgeon, but he’s not a forgiving one, and that still draws blood thinking about it, I’m sure. Personally, I hope Goldberg gives Trump the opening to flay him alive, but that’s just the Irish in me.

President Trump announced Thursday that he will give a rare Oval Office interview to Jeffrey Goldberg, who wrote a disputed 2020 story accusing the president of disparaging US war dead as “suckers” and “losers” and who was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat on Yemen airstrikes last month.

…Trump has had a long-running feud with Goldberg dating to the 2020 campaign, when the journalist claimed in a bombshell report that Trump “blamed rain for the last-minute decision” to cancel a cemetery visit near Paris in 2018 by “saying that ‘the helicopter couldn’t fly’ and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there” and that “[n]either claim was true.”

Navy records showed that military personnel made a “bad weather call” that canceled the helicopter flight, but Goldberg never corrected his story.

Well, let’s be honest – it’s probably a lot of y’all, too.

I’d love to see Goldberg sputter and poop his drawers when a Trump brow suddenly furrows at something he’s said and those eyes, focused like a laser, bore into his face.

Oh, yeah, buddy.

Squirm, baby, squirm.

I’ve seen lots of worry about recording the interview, etc., and golly, Nell. It’s not like Trump hasn’t been through all this before, hello. They’ll have it covered like a mob blanket on a body in the trunk.

Trump should be pretty easy going about it, too, because Goldberg’s the one with something to lose. 

He’s President Trump.

He’s in the catbird seat, while Goldberg’s a proven fabulist and big fat target for Trump’s jibes.

Maybe when @JeffreyGoldberg fabricated a story about Trump calling American soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” that was actually just Goldberg’s own assessment of people who believe his reporting.

Goldberg promised that named sources would come forward on this. They never did. https://t.co/1VZz621Qsj pic.twitter.com/be7r8VhOqG

The other two who are going to be in the room have covered campaigns, etc, and Trump will dismiss them out of hand if they irritate him.

The only reason I’m torn on this is that I hate to see an excreable POS like Goldberg catching rarified air he doesn’t deserve.

But, on the other hand, if anyone knows how to deflate an oversized ego, Trump is the man to let the air out of the lying gasbag.

Game on.
