Late journalist Barbara Walters nails Trump wriggling to the wall in 1990. Note that Trump's shtick -- the vertiginous barrage of bullshit, obvious lies, hokum and evasion - hasn't changed an inch, and he ended up wrecking the country with it. Somehow the press forgot what it once knew, but thanks for raising the alarm, Barbara. #Trump #crime #GOP Non-Twitter link: https://youtu.be/aKwHjun8oog

Barbara actually dated my uncle a few times. While he married a strong and educated woman, Barbara was unfortunately a tad too strong for him. I so admired her.

@stevesilberman just imagine if the press had taken this good journalistic approach with him in 2015. Just. Imagine.

I must have tweeted this 20 times during the 2016 election in arguments about whether Trump was broke or not. Was really disappointed when somebody bailed him out a few months back to keep him from having to sell Trump Tower and Mar a Lago.

@stevesilberman where were interviews like THIS since 2016? Actually stepping in with facts to contradict lies - astonishing to watch given the supine fluffing that is the norm now. Thanks for posting!

@andyfraser @stevesilberman there should be way more interviews like this now, but Jon Stewart has been doing phenomenal work with his interviews on his new Apple TV show.
In particular, watching this bit with Barbara Walters reminded me of Jon Stewart’s interview with Arkansas AG this year: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPmjNYt71fk&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

@stevesilberman i don't see what there is to forget, didn't need terribly strong press to percieve the guy was less than scum stuck on the curb. but i guess enough of us wanted that.
