under US politics now and Davi said is
it okay Trump got away with it I mean
that could be anything to be honest with
the state of US politics at the moment
let's summarize another batshit week in
American politics okay so Donald Trump
was acquitted of abuse of power in a
trial in which no witnesses were called
and half the Senate had made up their
mind before the trial began now the day
before that he gave his State of the
Union address in which he basically
spent 80 minutes saying I'm the best
everyone else is the worst who wants to
see me do press-ups before that though
he appeared to snub the leader of the
house when she went in for this
handshake now you've actually met sandy
people and Nancy Pelosi was one of those
weird things in your life I was a
backstage waiting to do a TED talk and
she came in and introduced herself and I
said you know where there's coffee and
she said I'll make it for you I've had
coffee made for me by Nancy Pelosi right
did she seem nice she was absolutely
charming the coffee was she was
lovely and very very personable yeah so
I knew the VAR thing was watching played
her for shaking Trump's hand no yeah
that takes time because I can't imagine
he's a sort of fellow who washes his
hands after the toilet oh he's actually
the opposite doesn't it isn't he a
compulsive watch she's a germaphobe I'm
surprised that with his belly he can
find his penis that's down here
someplace
so he's the thing so and Pelosi then
rolled her eyes throughout his whole
speech because she was sitting right
behind him and then at the end of it she
theatrically tore up the copy of his
speech that he had handed to her if
you've interviewed Donald Trump there
was no sexual frustration there really
may be on his part but no he and I've
told this story before he did chat me up
but that not because I think he fancied
me I just think he thought what I'm
gonna do to get an easier interview is
be really nice to her about the way she
looks so he was all going on about how I
looked so I think his way of treating
women is to just try and make them feel
good about how they look and then with
the men there so with my producer who we
knew is going to be editing this piece
he like went over and threatened him so
he kind of gave him a slap on the back
and went hey Sean sorry you fer this
feels so nice
[Laughter]
yeah I said you know you've got a good
career ahead of you you should keep it
that way like us in what he charismatic
because sometimes those guys actually
when you meet them you're appalled at
how charismatic you find them yeah when
he walked into the room he had an aura
but I wouldn't say a charismatic I think
he just there was a sense of presence
did you think one day this is gonna be
the most powerful man in the world yeah
okay I just thought what a bellend
[Laughter]
[Applause]
so overnight Trump responded to the
impeachment trial by giving an hour-long
speech but then it got even more batshit
former mayor of New York billionaire
Michael Bloomberg wants to run against
Donald Trump in this year's election
today Michael Bloomberg tweeted his own
bizarre version of Trump's speech and
added his own little bit it's possible
that this is genius though because
everyone else has tried to be mature
with Donald Trump and everyone else has
tried to go well no we have to do
process or it's possible that some there
needs to be a bigger child that Donald
Trump potatoe you're not frightened that
politics is turning so childish so Boris
Johnson is saying oh I don't like you
you can't come in and listen to a
briefing by a civil servant that it
takes gingerbread men for people to
understand that debate where he goes
well the one who smelt it dealt it it's
astonishing it is and the problem is if
Michael Bloomberg does become the
Democratic candidate then he's gonna go
ahead to head with Donald Trump at the
entity and that's what the u.s.
presidential election is gonna look like
yes and it isn't it's gonna be two
millionaires against each other and you
know calling themselves the men of the
people it's extraordinary making up
like that it's gonna look like in the
night garden' on acid
yeah in the night garden' doesn't need
acid to live the truth is you don't even
need to doctor a video Donald Trump to
make him look stupid last week we showed
a clip of the president struggling to
pronounce the word criminals this week
he had trouble with the word United Arab
Emirates
you
