LET'S GO TO ICELAND, SHALL WE?
AN ICELANDER SAYS THAT DONALD TRUMP'S SON TRASHED
HIS APARTMENT.
I'M GOING TO READ THIS LIKE IT'S A DELIGHTFUL STORY.
IN AUGUST 2013, ERIC TRUMP TOOK A VACATION TO ICELAND.
ACCORDING TO A MAN NAMED RAGNAR.
>>I LOVE THE STORY FOR
A COUPLE OF REASONS.
ONE, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ERIC TRUMP'S MARRIAGE OR WHATEVER.
BUT HE DOES SEEM LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD TAKE 15
OF HIS BUDDIES AND PAID 15 ICELANDIC GIRLS $120
TO COME OUT WITH THEM.
THE GOOD ONES GET TO GO ON THE GLACIER TRIP.
>> IT'S A GREAT STORY, BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT'S JUST A STORY.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS GUY IS.
LOOK, IT'S FUN TO MAKE FUN OF THE TRUMPS, I ADMIT IT.
BUT I JUST WANT TO PLAY DEVILS ADVOCATE HERE AND QUESTION
THE VERACITY OF THE STORY.
WE DON'T HAVE PICTURES OR COMMENTS FROM ERIC AT ALL.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE STORY AT THE MOMENT.
THE TIMING OF IT IS REALLY QUESTIONABLE AS WELL.
THIS HAPPENED IN 2014, AND IT'S JUST COMING OUT NOW.
THIS MIGHT BE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.
THERE ISN'T VERY MUCH EVIDENCE THAT HE ACTUALLY DID DO THIS.
>> ANYBODY THAT HAS A GOOD TRUMP STORY, NOW IS THE TIME TO
COME OUT WITH IT.
>>
AT SOME POINT THIS GUY PROBABLY HAS TOLD THE STORY A LOT.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A REPUTABLE ICELANDIC PUBLICATION.
>> THE ICELANDIC REVIEW?
>> THE BEST PART OF THE STORY IS STILL YET TO COME AS TO HOW
ERIC TRUMP AND THE BOYS LEFT OF THE APARTMENT, AND WHY I
BELIEVE THE STORY ñ
BECAUSE THE GUY DOES IT MAKE A FUSS ABOUT THAT PART OF IT.
>> THE STATE THAT APARTMENT WAS IN, ACCORDING TO THE GRAPHIC.
>> I ASSUMED IT WAS PEE.
>> I ASSUME THAT AS WELL.
>> THAT'S WHY RAGNAR IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
HE SAID THEY LEFT BOOZE.
>>THERE IS AN UPSIDE TO THIS STORY.
>>BUT EVEN IF IT'S TRUE, HOW DOES THIS COME TO BEAR ON
TRUMPS CANDIDACY?
HIS SON IS AN ADULT AND GETS TO MAKE HIS OWN CHOICES.
SURE, HE MIGHT COMMENT ON TRUMPS CORE OF VALUES BUT HOW DOES IT
BEAR ON HIS CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT?
>>BECAUSE
YOU NEVER HEAR THE STORIES ABOUT CHELSEA, THAT'S WHY.
>> WHEN I HEAR A STORY LIKE THIS I DON'T THINK TO MYSELF
ERIC TRUMP IS THE WORST.
I THINK ERIC TRUMP IS AWESOME.
I DON'T HAVE THAT STUFF.
THIS IS A PROBLEM.
>>YOU WOULD SO GO TO THE DINNER.
>> I WAS IN A FRAT, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE MINDSET OF A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE GOING AFTER THE TRUMPS IN THIS FASHION.
GAVIN NEWSOM IS ONE OF THEM.
THERE IS A VIDEO HE IS SHARING ON FACEBOOK SAYING TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS.
IT IS A VIDEO ABOUT THE GUY WHO DESIGNED THE CLUBHOUSE FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
IN THE END YOU SEE THIS VERY MEEK BUSINESSMAN WHO SAYS
DONALD TRUMP DEMANDED I PAY A THIRD OF WHAT I WAS OWED,
AND I HAD TO SAY YES.
THEN YOU SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE SAY ISN'T IT MEAN AND
TERRIBLE OF DONALD TRUMP?
IF I HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO THINKS THAT LIBERALS ARE
LITTLE WHINY FARTS WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
BUSINESS I SAY WOW, DONALD TRUMP IS AN AMAZING BUSINESSMAN.
IF YOU CAN GET THAT PRICE AGREED TO, GO FOR IT.
IT MAKES THE TRUMPS SOUND AWESOME.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER THEM, MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE
CRIMINALS.
IF DONALD TRUMP IS IN CHARGE WITH THE ECONOMY, IT WON'T
JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA TALK ABOUT IT, IT
CAN RUIN THE ECONOMY WITH THE UNCERTAINTY IT CREATES?
>>IT CAN START A WAR.
>>
BUT ALSO HE CAN'T JUST DECLARE BANKRUPTCY IN AMERICA AND THEN
GET SOME SORT OF LOOPHOLE TO GET OUT OF MAKING OUR PAYMENTS.
THEY CAN RUIN OUR CREDIT RATING AND THE WORLD ECONOMY.
>> I TELL YOU WHY I DISAGREE.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS NO REAL VALUE IN THE STORY OTHER
THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
>>ERIC TRUMP SEEMS LIKE A JACK BAG.
FIRST OF ALL, TRUMP HAS CHANGED THE RULES AND THE MEDIA IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND OTHER REPUBLICANS DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO DEAL WITH IT.
THIS IS A GUY WHO LIES ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.
HE LIVES WHEN HE WALKS INTO THE ROOM, DENIES THE TRUTH,
DENIES SCIENCE AND FACTS, AND IS ñ
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NARCISSISTIC QUALITY TO HIM.
SO, HIS RULES ARE DIFFERENT.
HE SAID TED CRUZ HIS WIFE WAS UGLY AND THAT HIS FATHER
KILLED THE PRESIDENT.
SO, I GET TO TELL A STORY ABOUT HIS SON.
>>BUT DOES IT AFFECT THEM?
>>MY ARGUMENT IS THIS IS NOT THE STORY.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF STORIES YOU CAN TELL, BUT THE STORIES
THAT HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ALONG THE WAY ARE JUST ñ
YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING NERD.
>> THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW.
>>YOU GUYS ARE FORGETTING ABOUT THE FIANC…E.
>>THAT'S THE THING, THAT IS WHAT THEY COULD BE HITTING HIM ON.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE ERIC TRUMP IS.
>>THE ONE WITH THE HAIR.
>>I KNOW DONALD JUNIOR IS THE ONE WITH THE LITTLE MOUTH.
>>REGARDING THE NONPAYMENT OF PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW GAVIN
NEWSOM'S VIDEO OR HOW SUBSTANTIVE IT IS.
TO ME HE IS SORT OF CHAMPIONING HOW HE IS GOING TO SPEAK TO
THE MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASS WHO HE HAS REGULARLY STIFFED.
THAT IS A STORY I WOULD NEVER LET GO OF.
HILLARY MENTIONED IT LAST NIGHT IN HER SPEECH AND I WAS
REALLY PLEASED.
THERE WOULDN'T BE ONE VOTER WHO DIDN'T KNOW IN NOVEMBER
THAT THOSE TIES ARE MADE IN CHINA, AND THEY COULD BE
MADE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES.
>> BUT THE WAY YOU TELL THAT STORY THAT SHOWS HE'S BEING
A GOOD NEGOTIATOR.
WHAT HE IS TELLING HIS PEOPLE IS I'M GOING TO PAY YOU A
THIRD OF WHAT I AGREED TO, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT I'M
GOING TO DRAG YOU TO COURT.
THAT IS SHITTY AND NOT SOMETHING THAT BODES WELL FOR HIM, OR
IS SOMEBODY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY AND BE
A FRIEND.
>>I THINK HOW YOU PUT IT IS BETTER THAN HOW IT COMES
OFF IN THE VIDEO.
MY CRITICISMS ARE SPECIFICALLY HOW YOU DELIVER THAT
MESSAGE AND WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON.
THEY ARE JUST FOCUSING ON THE WORST STUFF.
IT IS THIS ECHO CHAMBER, AND BOTH SIDES DO THIS.
WHOEVER IS ABLE TO STEP OUTSIDE THE ECHO CHAMBER AND TALK
TO THAT PERSON WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH MONEY ON A DAILY
BASIS, YOU HAVE TO MAKE HIM THE PERSON WHO STILL OWES THIS
PERSON MONEY, WHO MADE A PROMISE AND DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT.
AS OPPOSED TO THE PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH
PAYING A THIRD OF WHAT HE OWED.
>> AND OF COURSE TRUMP IS THE PERSON ñ
HE IS WINNING BECAUSE HE STEPS OUT OF IT SO EFFECTIVELY.
HE NEVER SOUNDS WHINY, EVEN WHEN HE IS LITERALLY WHINING
ABOUT SOMETHING.
SO, THAT IS WHY HILLARY CLINTON IS THEORETICALLY, I WAS
PLEASED WITH THAT SPEECH LAST NIGHT, THEORETICALLY THE
WORST POSSIBLE CANDIDATES DO WITH HIM BECAUSE SHE WREAKS
CONSTANTLY OF I AM A POLITICIAN AND I KNOW ONE WAY TO
DELIVER THESE LINES AND ONE WAY TO SOUND.
HE SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THAT AND HAS THIS FAUX APPEARANCE OF
AUTHENTICITY WHICH HAS CLEARLY WORKED ON TENS OF MILLIONS
OF AMERICANS.
>>
THERE IS A WAY TO COMBAT TRUMP, AND IT IS THE PRESIDENTS WAY.
IT PUTS TOGETHER THE WAY HE DOES IT ñ
HE IS NOT FOR YOU, HE WANTS TO RULE YOU.
AND THAT IS NOT OKAY.
COUPLED WITH THE RECKONING OF HIM, YOU KNOW, THE MORNING
IN AMERICA.
YOU ARE TELLING ME JIMMY CARTER/DONALD TRUMP.
YOU ARE TELLING ME WE NEED TO CHANGE AMERICA BECAUSE IT SUCKS?
I DON'T THINK IT DOES.
THIS IS A GREAT COUNTRY.
AXEL WAS TALKING ABOUT IT ON CNN.
HE WAS SAYING THE ONE THING THE PRESIDENT IS REALLY GOOD AT
IS REMINDING YOU WHAT THE COUNTRY IS ABOUT.
>>THIS IS A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN GET 15 OF YOUR FRIENDS
AND FIGHT ICELAND ñ
>>AND PEE IN BATHTUB OR SOMETHING ELSE.
>>AND THEN JUST LEAVE ON YOUR DAD'S PLANE.
>> THEY PEED, THEY PUKED, AND THEY POOPED.
