| | | | | #Presidementia (1) Ingraham Interview aired tonight. Trump wanders off topic quickly, dominates the moment to deflect dialogue. Alleges Cong. briefing was “single best they’ve ever had.” Quickly attacks Schiff sarcastically. Continues to ramble, dominates to avoid give & take.
#Presidementia (2) Slanders AOC sarcastically, Ingraham interrupts to redirect & ask questions, but Trump replays old tapes about Iran, Kerry, billions, until Laura interrupts again. Trump claims Mid East much better now under his lead.
#Presidementia (3) Ingraham tosses softball inviting Trump to trash NATO, which he does, replaying old tapes about taking the oil! He believes & says, “We have the oil, we have the oil.” He repeats lie about $150B. Again, no dialogue, only monologue. Dementia behavior.
#Presidementia (4) Trump calls Mayor Pete a low life, Laura redirects but Trump responds with garbled answer saying Saudi is paying USA $1B for troops we are sending. Says fake news lies. Wanders all over in confusing fashion. No give & take, as Trump rambles & dominates.
#Presidementia (5) Now Trump replays his rally monologue about Schiff, demands persecution of lying enemies, slanders Biden, lies about whistleblower, won’t let Laura talk. Lies about transcript. All of this is his old grievance. Now gets agitated.
#Presidementia (6) Laura asks why not let Bolton testify, & Trump falls back on bullshit (Frankfurt’s term) & dodges the issue, pivots to slander Pelosi as “a crazed lunatic who will be overthrown pretty soon.” His pressured speech intensifies.
#Presidementia (7) Laura tries 2 more softballs with coquettish smile but Trump deflects those & changes the subject twice in one sentence, from killing a terrorist to record polls numbers to coming down the escalator with “investigation hoaxes that showed nothing!” Coming apart.
#Presidementia (8) In sum, Trump’s cognitively impaired, can’t talk in give and take, repeats grudges, insults, lies, & bullshit (Frankfurt’s term). Not a micro-particle or nanosecond of news or insight in this “fake interview.” Trump is mentally ill, unfit to hold nuclear codes.
