TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. pic.twitter.com/HmNJvUXV9w
Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country. pic.twitter.com/PvXJDjUnfZ

So there is a new war, for which he’s not responsible? I think we’ve found our theme.Trump: With Thailand and Cambodia… they started the war again and I got it ended. pic.twitter.com/cHLlsdwNjn

Peters' lawyer opined that Trump might send in U.S. marshals to liberate her from prison. I don’t think he should hold his breath.Trump complains that Colorado won’t release Tina Peters who he says caught people cheating. He goes on to call the governor a weak and pathetic man who is run by TDA.

I had to see this whole to understand it.Q: Has Kash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is?

TRUMP: It's always difficult. So far we're done a very good job of it with Charlie, with the various times this has happened. You'll have to ask the school about that. pic.twitter.com/15PSwl3PRq
Just a reminder.Trump on Brown University: You would really have to ask the school about that because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, their own police, their own everything but you would have to ask that question to the school and not to the FBI. pic.twitter.com/O5qhPE9ZDO

Unfuckingbelievable. It’s not like it’s the FBI’s job to apprehend suspects. Their real job is rounding up illegal immigrants. Right?Charlie Kirk’s shooter was turned in by his parents….only thing Kash Patel did there was take credit for it https://t.co/MhBKdSDm4X

Trump: I'm suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth literally. They put words in my mouth. They had me saying things that I never said. I guess they used AI or something. They have me speaking with words that I never said. pic.twitter.com/RmyljngkDf

I ran that string to end where we started. Trump is an old man, and old men are prone to nonsense. Here, he talks as if to himself; it’s insular, isolated. The BBC didn’t make up anything. It edited the sequence of his statements, not the content. His suit won’t last past the motion for summary judgment based on 1st Amendment issues. But if he really believes he didn’t say what he said 5 years ago…Trump: But the affordability is on the Democrats because they have made it unaffordable to be in this country but we are bringing those prices down… they’re coming down quickly pic.twitter.com/Hgh0Nc2dAE

In the first term when Trump had a group photo taken with non-sycophants quite often one person would be standing there looking sort of shocked as if they were thinking "my god he is much worse than I expected". Now it's getting so they *all* look like they would much rather be somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThere is a post-event clip of Trump standing aimlessly behind his desk as his human props more or less turn their backs on him. He looks one way and waits for someone to turn to him, which doesn't happen. He then turns the other way and finds someone to speak with briefly and then sits down behind the desk and starts playing with a pen. Basically, as soon as he stops talking he's checking out. Aside from his Air Force One pressers, where he leans heavily on the door frame you almost never see the guy on his own anymore, and he seems like nothing so much as a wind-up toy that's s l o w i n g d o w n
