It just keeps getting better and better: Trump claims not to know who David Duke is

[superbeets]

Trump's gamble on Mar-a-Lago paid off. What was once a white elephant generates $15.6 million a year in revenue, according to Trump's financial disclosures released by federal election officials.
Based on sales of other Palm Beach property fronting on both sides of the 3.75-square-mile island, Mar-a-Lago is now estimated to be worth $300 million.
Unless he is campaigning, every weekend during the season, Trump flies down on his Boeing 757-200 with Melania, who speaks six languages, and his children who live in New York to spend the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, where he likes the prime dry aged strip steak and the meatloaf labeled as his mother's recipe.
Just before she retired in 2006, Norma Foerderer, Trump's vice president and top aide for 26 years, gave me her only in depth interview about Donald.
Foerderer said there are two Donald Trumps: the 'outrageous' one that utters brash comments on television and the real one that only she and other insiders know.
'I mean Donald can be totally outrageous, but outrageous in a wonderful way that gets him coverage,' Foerderer told me, presaging the caricature of himself Trump creates running for president.
'That persona sells his licensed products and his condominiums. You know Donald's never been shy, and justifiably so, in talking about how wonderful his buildings or his golf clubs are.'
The private Trump, on the other hand, is 'the dearest, most thoughtful, most loyal, most caring man,' Foerderer said. That caring side inspires loyalty and is one of his secrets to his success.

'The guy is fairer than hell,' says Gary J. Giulietti, a Trump friend who handles a portion of his insurance as president of Lockton Cos., the largest privately held insurance brokerage company in the world.
'He wants the best for his properties, he wants a competitive price. But he treats everyone with respect. Whenever he has to honor anything, he does. Even if he disagrees, he will compromise.
'He'll fight you like a dog when he's negotiating, but when you make a deal, he'll find a way to make you his friend to work with you.'
Giulietti, who belongs to both Mar-a-Lago and the Trump International Golf Course in nearby West Palm Beach, has found that Trump surrounds himself with the best people.
'He gets their advice and comes to the best conclusion that he thinks is the right decision,' Giulietti says.
'He hires and promotes every ethnic group in the world. If you look at his clubs, Hispanics are the ones largely running them, and they love Donald Trump.'
As an example of Trump's attention to detail, when he was building the golf course, he drove Pam, a former Washington Post reporter who contributes vivid descriptions to my books, and me to the site in his black Durango SLT four-wheel drive vehicle.
Trump drove to a 35-foot waterfall being built for $2.5 million. On the ground were samples of rocks ranging in color from white to gray to red.

Attention to detail: One of the exquisitely decorated sitting rooms at Mar-a-Lago. Trump also used $10,000 worth of gold leaf to re-gild40 rams' heads that jut from the roof line

'I like the lighter color,' Trump said. 'I don't like the red. To me, a red rock is more like granite from New England.'
He asked the construction crew which color they liked, then he asked his staff, Pam, and me. He seemed genuinely interested in everyone's opinions, and when most said they preferred the reddish samples, he decided to go with them.
If Trump is intemperate, as his critics claim, his employees have seen none of it.
Rather, as an employer, Trump is both demanding and loyal, according to Anthony P. 'Tony' Senecal, who served as personal butler to Trump at Mar-a-Lago for 20 years and is now the Mar-a-Lago historian.
On many of his visits, Trump inspects the entire property with Mar-a-Lago executives or sometimes with his lawyer Rampell, looking for anything amiss or possible violations of local codes and ordering improvements like the American flag that now dominates the front lawn.
Trump will sometimes do his own research to fix problems, as when he decided that red clay was the best surface for his tennis courts.
'We were remodeling the bathrooms in the front hallway,' Senecal recalls. 'We were all lined up at the front door when he came in on Friday.
'He looked around, and everybody's kind of beaming, because the finished job looked nice. And then he goes over to the new fire alarm box and rubs his finger across it, and it was dusty. Everybody's heart sank.'

Seafood feast: The New Year's Eve celebration began with cocktail shrimp, stone crab claws, cold lobster, oysters on the half shell and sushi

Fine dining: Caviar dished onto blini were among the offerings at the New Year's Eve celebration

When Trump was building a ballroom addition to Mar-a-Lago, 'He would constantly go there on the weekends and check the exterior workmanship,' Senecal says. 'If he saw anything that was out of line, he would tell them you better fix it. If he wanted a change in the plans, he would say, 'You're not going to charge me for that, are you?'
Like a consummate maitre d', Trump loves to greet club members as they are dining, asking if everything was okay.
If a diner says the steak was too dry, Trump will take it up directly with Mar-a-Lago Managing Director Lembcke.
While Trump may blow up at an employee over an honest mistake, he doesn't hold a grudge, and five minutes later will act as though nothing had happened, says Senecal, who began working for Trump in 1985.
At the same time, Trump is generous with praise for employees at all levels when they are doing a good job. He will make it a point to compliment them in front of their bosses.
'He keeps a wad of $100 bills in his pants pocket and will distribute them widely to groundskeepers, plumbers, or other low-level employees when he likes the job they are doing,' Senecal says.

Senecal says there are three things none of Trump's employees should do. 'You don't steal from him; you don't lie to him; and you don't embarrass him,' Senecal says. Usually, if Trump decides to fire someone, he will go back to New York first and think about it.
'Then he'll call up whoever's in charge here and say, you know, 'Get rid of...' Then there are times when he's just said, 'Get out of here. You're fired.' That's when he's really, really been upset over something. Like cutting the bougainvillea down [by mistake] or something like that.'
Some years ago, when Senecal's home air conditioning system gave out, Trump had it replaced. When Senecal had to undergo surgery to implant a stent, Trump called him the day before.
'So when do you go under the knife?' Trump asked.
'Tomorrow,' said Senecal.
'Well, if you don't make it, don't worry about it. You've had a good life,' Trump said. And then Trump said, 'Listen, I don't want you going back to your place. You come and recuperate at Mar-a-Lago.'

If you want to be president, you might think it wise to appear every now and then on the country’s most-watched, most-trusted cable news channel. Seems logical, right?
Not to Hillary Clinton. The network with the top ratings and top reputation, in case you haven’t guessed, is Fox News Channel, and the Democratic presidential front-runner has refused to grant Fox a single interview in this election cycle. “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace called out Clinton over the weekend for avoiding his program, specifically, but the former secretary of state hasn't appeared on the network at all since June 2014, when she was on a book tour.

If you want to be president, you might think it wise to appear every now and then on the country’s most-watched, most-trusted cable news channel. Seems logical, right?

The network with the top ratings and top reputation, in case you haven’t guessed, is Fox News Channel, and the Democratic presidential front-runner has refused to grant Fox a single interview in this election cycle. “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace called out Clinton over the weekend for avoiding his program, specifically, but the former secretary of state hasn't appeared on the network at all since June 2014, when she was on a book tour.


WALLACE: With Bernie Sanders’s appearance here last week, we’ve now sat down with every candidate in the race except Hillary Clinton. As we noted, she was asked recently what she would do as president to bring the country together.



CLINTON: I think it's an important point the president made in his State of the Union. And here's what I would say. I will go anywhere to meet with anyone at any time to find common ground.



WALLACE: But, once again this week, Clinton turned down our request for an interview. We reached out to her campaign officials in charge of this sort of thing, communications director Jennifer Palmieri and press secretary Nick Merrill. Neither of them had the courtesy to even answer our phone calls and emails.


The point Wallace was making, without stating it explicitly, is that Clinton cannot credibly market herself as a unifier who will reach across the partisan divide if she won't so much as engage with a news outlet that has a massive — if conservative-leaning — audience.


And it really is about the audience, not the network. Fox is doing just fine without Clinton on its air. And does anyone really care about hurt feelings between journalists and politicians?



Clinton needn’t worry about offending Wallace or anyone else at Fox News, but she ought to think twice about alienating their viewers. Sure, most of Fox’s audience is conservative and unlikely to even consider voting for her — but not all of it. When the Pew Research Center studied the audience demographics of various news organizations during the last presidential election, it found that 23 percent of Fox viewers call themselves moderates and 10 percent identify as liberals.

That’s a third of Fox viewers who sound like potential Clinton voters. And she’s not talking to them.



Clinton has never been what you’d call a frequent Fox News guest, but she made occasional appearances on the network eight years ago, during her first White House bid — joking around with Karl Rove, debating tax reform with Bill O’Reilly and even going head to head with John McCain, with Wallace handling the questions.





Her concern might be that she wouldn’t be treated fairly — The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple rounded up some nasty remarks that could make Clinton understandably uncomfortable — but I seriously doubt she’d be greeted with hostility. She doesn’t have to face off with Sean Hannity or O’Reilly; she could sit with straight-news anchors like Shepard Smith or Bret Baier or even Wallace, for that matter. In fact, I’d wager that Fox would go out of its way to avoid any appearance of taking cheap shots.



That’s how things went two years ago, when Baier and Greta Van Sustereninterviewed Clinton in-studio for a half hour. Baier led off with a series of questions about Benghazi, but the mood remained cordial throughout. Some conservatives even complained that he and Van Susteren were too gentle.



Wallace’s recent chiding of Clinton recalls his “Obama Watch” from 2008 — an onscreen graphic that displayed the number of days that had passed since the then-senator from Illinois had agreed to an interview (in 2006) without following through. When Obama and Fox finally set a date — after five weeks with a clock that had counted up to 765 days — Wallace offered this assessment to the New York Times:



In the end, they don’t do it for us. They do it for themselves. I think his defeats in Ohio and Pennsylvania have convinced them that he needs to reach out to blue-collar, moderate and conservative Democratic voters, and “Fox News Sunday” is a good place to reach them.



Subtract the Ohio and Pennsylvania defeats, and you could make the identical argument this year for Clinton. She might think she’s sticking it to a network that has been consistently tough on her, but all she’s doing is missing an opportunity to speak to every last voter. And by freezing out Fox, she risks undermining efforts to paint herself as a bridge-builder.


Granting an interview — or more than one! — could only help with outreach to independents, which ought to be more important than some old grudge.

A few possible reasons Hillary Clinton disses ‘Fox News Sunday’


Chris Wallace, host of the influential “Fox News Sunday,” carved out a salty slice of his program yesterday to hammer Hillary Clinton for failing to appear on the show. Positioning the Democratic hopeful for maximum burn, Wallace noted that she had recently pledged to bridge America’s divides: “I will go anywhere to meet with anyone at any time to find common ground,” said Clinton.


Then Wallace ripped away: “But, once again this week, Clinton turned down our request for an interview,” said the host. “We reached out to her campaign officials in charge of this sort of thing, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, and press secretary Nick Merrill. Neither of them had the courtesy to even answer our phone calls and emails.”



Speaking of courtesy, it’s safe to say that Fox News’s Andrea Tantaros didn’t exhibit too much when she said the following about Clinton on the the noon show “Outnumbered”: “People are making the comparison that she’s a thoroughbred horse who can’t get over the line. She’s on her way to the glue factory in a real way. It’s true. It’s true,” said Tantaros.

Call that Possible Reason No. 1 that the Clinton camp isn’t returning the messages of “Fox News Sunday.”

For Possible Reason No. 2, let’s go to “Outnumbered” co-host Andrea Tantaros, who last year referred to Clinton as the “most corrupt woman in the history of the world.”

For Possible Reason No. 3, why not try “Outnumbered” co-host Andrea Tantaros? Referencing the Michael Bay-directed film “13 Hours” about the Benghazi attacks of Sept. 11, 2012, she said, “If anyone sees this movie, and everyone should go see it, and goes on to vote for Hillary Clinton they’re a criminal, in my estimation.”

Individuals from the Clinton campaign, accordingly, might just conclude that Fox News isn’t going to give their candidate the fairest hearing.

Nor would it be responsible to leave the impression that Clinton-bashing starts and ends with Tantaros. It actually starts with breakfast. “Fox & Friends,” the network’s morning
show, sometimes opines on the former secretary of state — like the time that one of its hosts questioned whether Clinton’s “bra-burning” approach will play with the electorate. “The Five,” a raucous roundtable program, has also delivered an elbow or two.

The point here is that Wallace may run a clean and straight-shooting Sunday program, but a good number of other folks under the Fox News banner play a different game. Any 24-7 news network contains multitudes.

So there isn’t much mystery as to why all those other presidential candidates have accepted the invitations of “Fox News Sunday” and Clinton has not: It’s because Clinton is covered more harshly, more persistently than those other candidates. A fine case in point comes from the tail end of her tenure as secretary of state, when Fox News waxed skeptical about — and even mocked — the concussion that she suffered. Give a Fox News commentator the slightest opening to rip Clinton, and consider it overdone. Late last week, for instance, the network made certain that its viewers didn’t pass unaware of Clinton’s poor response to questions from CBS News’s Scott Pelley about her trustworthiness.

None of this is to suggest that Clinton shouldn’t face off with Wallace. It would be a glorious match between an excellent questioner and a nimble and experienced politician. That’s who Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren faced in June 2014, when Clinton was on tour for her book “Hard Choices.” Though the Fox News duo attempted to corner Clinton on Benghazi and other issues, the verdict among many conservative onlookers veered toward “softball.”

This was not the first time that Wallace has whined on the air about being frozen out. In May of 2015, Wallace unleashed a pouty barrage on the air and admitted that President Obama won’t let people from the White House go on Fox News Sunday.President Obama and former Sec. of State Clinton have been subjected to relentless attacks by Fox News. There is no way that Clinton is going to give Fox or any of its shows the time of day unless it is on her terms. The message that the Clinton campaign is sending is that Fox News is going to pay for their years of lies about the former Sec. of State.Fox News has been completely biased in their coverage of both Obama and Clinton. Clinton doesn’t fear Fox News. In fact, the opposite is true. Fox News needs Hillary Clinton. The nightmare scenario for Fox would be if Clinton won the presidency, and completely cut off the conservative network’s access to the White House. Her emails have already revealed that she thinks that Fox News is insane,, so it isn’t a surprise that she is in no hurry to pick up the phone when the folks from Sunday morning crazy town call.Fox’s years of bias and Benghazi lies are coming home to roost. Hillary Clinton has sent Fox’s emails to spam, and their calls are automatically going to voicemail because the bill has come due for Fox News’s decades of lies.

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace tried to shame Hillary Clinton for not responding to interview requests. He suggested that she was too rude or too arrogant or cowardly to come on his show. But it’s quite possible that Wallace blew his chance when he infuriated Bill Clinton by trying to blame him for 9/11 during a now-famous 2006 interview.
On Sunday, Wallace took time out to hit Hillary Clinton for not coming on the show. From the transcript:

But Hillary Clinton may well have had in mind that time that Wallace sandbagged Bill Clinton by violating the terms of their interview in order to suggest he had not done enough to capture Osama Bin Laden.
As former NewsHound Judy wrote back then:

Wallace stated in his introduction to the interview that the ground rules called for a 15-minute interview, with half the time devoted to Clinton’s global initiatives and half the time to anything Wallace wanted to ask. Then he innocently told the viewers “that’s not how it turned out.”
Wallace did indeed ask a few questions about the global initiatives conference. Less than four minutes into the interview, however, Wallace shifted the questions to whether Clinton had done enough to try to capture Osama bin Laden. Four minutes is not half of 15 minutes by anybody’s watch.
When Clinton called Wallace on that fact, Wallace dodged by saying most of the questions he had written down had to do with the global initiatives. Then, he returned to the global initiatives conference at the end of the interview, but only after Clinton had shamed him into it by telling the audience what the ground rules were. Would Wallace even have admitted he had agreed to allow Clinton seven and a half minutes to talk about global initiatives had Clinton not brought it up in the interview? Would Wallace have returned to the topic had Clinton not called him on his dishonesty?

The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple points out other good reasons Hillary Clinton might think she wouldn’t get a fair shake on Fox.

A few possible reasons Hillary Clinton disses ‘Fox News Sunday’

By Erik WempleFebruary 22


Chris Wallace, host of the influential “Fox News Sunday,” carved out a salty slice of his program yesterday to hammer Hillary Clinton for failing to appear on the show. Positioning the Democratic hopeful for maximum burn, Wallace noted that she had recently pledged to bridge America’s divides: “I will go anywhere to meet with anyone at any time to find common ground,” said Clinton.
Then Wallace ripped away: “But, once again this week, Clinton turned down our request for an interview,” said the host. “We reached out to her campaign officials in charge of this sort of thing, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, and press secretary Nick Merrill. Neither of them had the courtesy to even answer our phone calls and emails.”
Speaking of courtesy, it’s safe to say that Fox News’s Andrea Tantaros didn’t exhibit too much when she said the following about Clinton on the the noon show “Outnumbered”: “People are making the comparison that she’s a thoroughbred horse who can’t get over the line. She’s on her way to the glue factory in a real way. It’s true. It’s true,” said Tantaros.
Call that Possible Reason No. 1 that the Clinton camp isn’t returning the messages of “Fox News Sunday.”
For Possible Reason No. 2, let’s go to “Outnumbered” co-host Andrea Tantaros, who last year referred to Clinton as the “most corrupt woman in the history of the world.”
For Possible Reason No. 3, why not try “Outnumbered” co-host Andrea Tantaros? Referencing the Michael Bay-directed film “13 Hours” about the Benghazi attacks of Sept. 11, 2012, she said, “If anyone sees this movie, and everyone should go see it, and goes on to vote for Hillary Clinton they’re a criminal, in my estimation.”
Individuals from the Clinton campaign, accordingly, might just conclude that Fox News isn’t going to give their candidate the fairest hearing.
Nor would it be responsible to leave the impression that Clinton-bashing starts and ends with Tantaros. It actually starts with breakfast. “Fox & Friends,” the network’s morning show, sometimes opines on the former secretary of state — like the time that one of its hosts questioned whether Clinton’s “bra-burning” approach will play with the electorate. “The Five,” a raucous roundtable program, has also delivered an elbow or two.
The point here is that Wallace may run a clean and straight-shooting Sunday program, but a good number of other folks under the Fox News banner play a different game. Any 24-7 news network contains multitudes.
So there isn’t much mystery as to why all those other presidential candidates have accepted the invitations of “Fox News Sunday” and Clinton has not: It’s because Clinton is covered more harshly, more persistently than those other candidates. A fine case in point comes from the tail end of her tenure as secretary of state, when Fox News waxed skeptical about — and even mocked — the concussion that she suffered. Give a Fox News commentator the slightest opening to rip Clinton, and consider it overdone. Late last week, for instance, the network made certain that its viewers didn’t pass unaware of Clinton’s poor response to questions from CBS News’s Scott Pelley about her trustworthiness.
None of this is to suggest that Clinton shouldn’t face off with Wallace. It would be a glorious match between an excellent questioner and a nimble and experienced politician. That’s who Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren faced in June 2014, when Clinton was on tour for her book “Hard Choices.” Though the Fox News duo attempted to corner Clinton on Benghazi and other issues, the verdict among many conservative onlookers veered toward “softball.”

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace tried to shame Hillary Clinton for not responding to interview requests. He suggested that she was too rude or too arrogant or cowardly to come on his show. But it’s quite possible that Wallace blew his chance when he infuriated Bill Clinton by trying to blame him for 9/11 during a now-famous 2006 interview.
On Sunday, Wallace took time out to hit Hillary Clinton for not coming on the show. From the transcript:WALLACE: With Bernie Sanders’ appearance here last week, we’ve now sat down with every candidate in the race except Hillary Clinton. As we noted, she was asked recently what she would do as president to bring the country together.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CLINTON: I think it’s an important point the president made in his State of the Union. And here’s what I would say. I will go anywhere to meet with anyone at any time to find common ground.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WALLACE: But, once again this week, Clinton turned down our request for an interview. We reached out to her campaign officials in charge of this sort of thing, communications director Jennifer Palmieri, and press secretary Nick Merrill. Neither of them had the courtesy to even answer our phone calls and emails.
But Hillary Clinton may well have had in mind that time that Wallace sandbagged Bill Clinton by violating the terms of their interview in order to suggest he had not done enough to capture Osama Bin Laden.
As former NewsHound Judy wrote back then:Wallace stated in his introduction to the interview that the ground rules called for a 15-minute interview, with half the time devoted to Clinton’s global initiatives and half the time to anything Wallace wanted to ask. Then he innocently told the viewers “that’s not how it turned out.”
Wallace did indeed ask a few questions about the global initiatives conference. Less than four minutes into the interview, however, Wallace shifted the questions to whether Clinton had done enough to try to capture Osama bin Laden. Four minutes is not half of 15 minutes by anybody’s watch.
When Clinton called Wallace on that fact, Wallace dodged by saying most of the questions he had written down had to do with the global initiatives. Then, he returned to the global initiatives conference at the end of the interview, but only after Clinton had shamed him into it by telling the audience what the ground rules were. Would Wallace even have admitted he had agreed to allow Clinton seven and a half minutes to talk about global initiatives had Clinton not brought it up in the interview? Would Wallace have returned to the topic had Clinton not called him on his dishonesty?
The videos below don't include Wallace's introduction but you can read Fox’s complete transcript here.
The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple points out other good reasons Hillary Clinton might think she wouldn’t get a fair shake on Fox. The top three come from Andrea Tantaros, the cohost who asked her radio show listeners to “do me a favor” and punch an Obama supporter “in the face.” One can only imagine what she might ask people to do to a Hillary Clinton supporter.Speaking of courtesy, it’s safe to say that Fox News’s Andrea Tantaros didn’t exhibit too much when she said the following about Clinton on the the noon show “Outnumbered”: “People are making the comparison that she’s a thoroughbred horse who can’t get over the line. She’s on her way to the glue factory in a real way. It’s true. It’s true,” said Tantaros.


Call that Possible Reason No. 1 that the Clinton camp isn’t returning the messages of “Fox News Sunday.”

For Possible Reason No. 2, let’s go to “Outnumbered” co-host Andrea Tantaros, who last year referred to Clinton as the “most corrupt woman in the history of the world.”

​

Those are just a few of the many, many smears and jeers that are made against the Clintons on Fox News.

TVNewser reported Monday, “Clinton’s traveling press secretary Nick Merrill responded to the show today. The spokesperson adds, ‘we look forward to having a conversation’ about a potential Hillary Clinton booking on Fox News Sunday.”

ANDREA TANTAROS (HOST): You have a Democratic candidate who's under investigation by the FBI. It's never happened in history before and they say that it's no big deal on the left? It's a huge deal. But Melissa, you hit on it. She's not a likable candidate and she's a bad candidate. And she's always been a really bad candidate. And it's no -- it's not a coincidence, Harris, people are making the comparison that she's a thoroughbred horse who can't get over the line. She's on her way to the glue factory in a real way. It's true. It's true. I didn't make the horse analysis. It wasn't me, somebody else did. Just a metaphor. Calm down.

HARRIS FAULKNER (HOST): Donald Trump, talking about -- and I don't know if you guys watched it. Saturday night, the debate, there was a little bathroom break with Hillary Clinton.



ANDREA TANTAROS (HOST): He shouldn't have said it. He -- I think that he doesn't need to say those type of things, because he knows that historically Hillary likes to play the victim, and he knows that now her campaign's talking about this. But this campaign season's different. People don't care about political correctness. They don't. And, frankly, I think what he's doing may be smart because it baits Hillary to come out and look like a wimp. A whiny, weak female. And her campaign has to make up its mind. Is she a strong leader who can handle criticism about going to the potty or not? Or is she a victim? Can she handle ISIS or can't she? And you know what, Trump knows that and he's baiting her and it's masterful. I have to say. She's going to lose this one.




TANTAROS: She looks very, very weak and victim-like. And in this environment, that is a losing strategy.
