Judge Napolitano has been sour with Trump since he felt he should have been Trump's SCOTUS pick, when instead he went with Kavanaugh. You see an immediate shift in him at that point lol

Pure brilliance. Classic Trump
1. Obligatory shot at Fake News
2. "I didn't do that thing they said I did, but if I had, there's nothing wrong with that". Don't know how many times he's used this gem over the past 2 years. The basic argument of Trump and his sycophants is that the Mueller Report's conclusions are correct but all the evidence in it are filthy lies concocted by a "totally conflicted" prosecutor and 18 angry Democrats. (But as always, even if the filthy lies are true, there's nothing wrong with that).
3. Trump seems to be calling into question the very existence of a conversation that he is asserting executive privilege over. So if the conversation didn't take place, how can you assert privilege? President Deals always makes life easy for his lawyers...
2. It is true that if he wanted Mueller fired he could have fired him. Mueller wasn't fired, was he?
3. He is not saying that a conversation didn't take place, but that he didn't order his firing. Thing is he could have been weighing his options, and when the firing of Mueller came up, McGahn could have said "I will have to resign if you go down that road" and Trump backed off. Receiving advice from counsel isn't obstruction of justice, and it might not have been an order. That's not saying a conversation didn't happen is it?

And this is as good a time as any for a pet peeve. "Judge" Napolitano hasn't been a Judge since 1995. "Judge" Jeanine is pretty much the same (and she was at an even less important level than Napolitano, county judge I think). Why do we apply honorifics to ex-politicians long after they're out of office as if they were the Lords and Dukes of America? Is it a substitute for the lack of a formal aristocracy? It's sort of weird. I'm ok with doing it for ex-Presidents but that's about it.

How many of the Fox personalities seen in these clips cover Trump the same way they did Obama?
Among the complaints about Obama: Having a Twitter account is beneath the Office of the Presidency, he golfs too much, he's thin-skinned, he criticizes his predecessor too much, and he's overly obsessed with cable news (really!)

Wow. Hard to know where to start with this.
North Korea refused to release Otto Warmbier unless the US paid them $2 M for the 'medical care' he received while in their custody. Trump personally ordered it be paid.
White House refusing to comment on 'hostage negotiations'. Unclear when or if the bill was paid, but the US did agree to do it. Fred Warmbier says no one ever told him a ransom had been paid for his son.

so yeah, a "ransom" wasn't paid for his son. Jesus, I hope he wasn't actually asked that question
The Trump administration has not paid this bill, a third source familiar with the matter told CNN Thursday, adding that North Korea did not raise the issue as it sought to begin easing the tensions with the US in 2018 nor when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo negotiated the release of three Americans that same year, the source said.
"We made clear that they never going to get anything" when the negotiating occurred for the release of the 3 Americans, they added.

Whether we paid it or not, we agreed to pay it. It's weak and a bad look. I mean c'mon. Do we revel in the fact that we acquiesced to North Korea, signed a promissory note of sorts and then reneged?"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

We can pay a dictator for a hostage
or
We can promise to pay a dictator and stiff him after the fact
or
Or we get back on the plane and leave him there to die
which do you choose and why?
