this is an interesting little tidbit in the Huffpo article as regards the quality of Axios' sources:

Earlier this week, Axios reported that Trump continued to harbor resentment against Sessions over the decision.

That was published @ 7:29 pm. One hour later, the NYTimes Business Day dept. published this, hah:

Trump Loans From Deutsche Bank Face Regulatory Scrutiny

alt. title: Big German Bank, Key to Trump’s Finances, Faces New Scrutiny

By BEN PROTESS, JESSICA SILVER-GREENBERG and JESSE DRUCKER 8:28 PM ET

Hundreds of millions of dollars in loans given to Trump businesses are being assessed for their risk to the German bank, which extended the loans after the businessman’s bankruptcies made other institutions wary.

[....] Banking regulators are reviewing hundreds of millions of dollars in loans made to Mr. Trump’s businesses through Deutsche Bank’s private wealth management unit, which caters to an ultrarich clientele, according to three people briefed on the review who were not authorized to speak publicly. The regulators want to know if the loans might expose the bank to heightened risks.

Separately, Deutsche Bank has been in contact with federal investigators about the Trump accounts, according to two people briefed on the matter. And the bank is expecting to eventually have to provide information to Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia [.....]

AA this is nuts?

No kidding! Far more nuts than ever before. It's particularly extra special nuts. BECAUSE: if you're a Trump fan, you're scratching your head, going: but I thought they were the fake news. This is different from "off the record" and short phone calls with Maggie Haberman, they wouldn't hear about that or pay much attention, they are watching Fox. But this is a full interview they are talking about on Fox.

Like Barefooted's comment implies, he just continually boggles rational minds! What is the reason for this interview?!! I can't believe I am saying this, because yes, it's nuts, it's insane, but I can't see any other reason beyond he has decided to try to win over some people who read the Times???!!!! He wants their approval? And what he says in this interview is how he's going to get it?!!! And at this late date? After all the other things he's done and said as president?

Just so delusional, craving approval to a point way past insanity.

Someone puhleez come up with a better explanation.....

by artappraiser on Thu, 07/20/2017 - 12:23am

Trump supporters reading the interview? You've got to be kidding. All they'll know about it is what fox news, Limbaugh, and less well know Limbaugh like radio hosts tell them he said. Theyl'll find a way to spin it

Not to mention, they also published this an hour before, from docs they got directly:
