“Unfortunately for Trump, he cannot remember his lines, and so he simply hands over the charts that have been given him without coherently explaining what they’re supposed to mean.” https://t.co/EMVBa3uPff— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) August 4, 2020
Except it's not that "Trump can't remember his lines," it's that Trump doesn't understand reality, doesn't accept it, doesn't understand how to explain his version because he's incapable of imagining any other (try explaining something to somebody sometime without some glimmer of how they understand it first), and, worst of all, the POTUS is a blithering idiot.
He sounded like the guy in "Spinal Tap" explaining how his amp went to "11." Beyond repeating that phrase, the guy had no explanation. Neither does Trump.
The difference is, this is not a comedy. And frankly, we really should be beyond excusing the President's obvious cognitive and emotional limitations.
ADDING: Rob Reiner to my rescue:
Watching the Jonathan Swan interview reminded me of my interview with Chris Guest as Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap. Trump’s stupidity goes to 11.
