He works hard for his money

Watch this exchange with Trump senior adviser Paul Manafort to see the slickest of the slick squirm:
John Amato quips:
We need a new acronym to account for Trump's presidential run. How about instead of "IOKIYAR," [it's ok if you're a Republican] we'll change it to "IOKIYDT"
Tapper said, "Here you have a man in his forties, allegedly, acting as his own public relations agent - bragging about his exploits with women, while he's married to Ivana Trump, the mother of his three children, and speaks to a certain type of character issue, don't you think?"
Here's where Manafort earns his cash.
"But the tape has not proven that it's him. The justification for the tape is, words that are on that tape are words Donald Trump uses. I've been working for Donald Trump for six weeks, I'm using words he's using. I'm not the person on that tape."
Yeah, that's convincing. But what can he do? He's working for a lunatic. But then, that's pretty much what he does for a living.
