Thank You (Again) For Your Attention To This Matter

Trump’s racist video is by far the most widely denounced thing he’s done since January 6

Reporter: Will you apologize for that racist video?

Trump: *walks away* pic.twitter.com/eeqQOFi3Ik

I’m just going to preemptively state that if I ever post a video that contains patently offensive and disgusting content it was because I didn’t see it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So neither of us will be responsible. Thank you in advance.

Or, we’ll do this:

Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?

Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.

Reporter: Are you going to apologize?

Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was a take off… pic.twitter.com/KXLHnhr8lE

Or:

Trump: I saw and just passed it on and I guess probably nobody reviewed the end of it because what I saw at the beginning was really really strong. I didn't do it by the way. This was done by somebody else. This was a retruth. pic.twitter.com/F0qvPv4TRQ

Or:

Reporter: You frequently criticized Biden for not knowing what was going on in his name, this racist video that was posted on your social media—

Trump: You don’t know what’s going on. I know what’s going on. We know everything. pic.twitter.com/9gx0SHjPNo

Reporter: What is your message to the many Americans who are offended by the video?

Trump: I didn’t know about it. I really have no message. pic.twitter.com/u5MGyeWl8d

But he does have a message:

Trump: I’m the least racist president you’ve had in a long time as far as I’m concerned. pic.twitter.com/eZ5JIBf5RM

QED. EOD. You would think:

Ingraham: Can you really throw a staffer under the bus for this?

Leavitt: It was a meme.. It was from a Lion King video. Leave it to the leftist media, of course, to talk about this all day… pic.twitter.com/zbZNy327id

Yeah, they’ve learned their lesson. And that lesson is: the base will always be with them.

Reporter: A number of people in the MAGA base say they aren't satisfied with the administration just focusing on deporting violent criminals

Trump: Who are you with?

Reporter: Washington Post

Trump: You’re having a hard time getting readers. You have a bad attitude. pic.twitter.com/hhM0geSv4m

Off piste now, but this just gets better:

Reporter: A number of people in your base say that they want to see all illegal immigrants deported.

Trump: Let me tell you about my base. My base has never been stronger. My base is me and other very good people, people that love our country. And if you talk about my base or… pic.twitter.com/n0fkCfQtYV

Reporter: A number of people in your base say that they want to see all illegal immigrants deported.

Trump: Let me tell you about my base. My base has never been stronger. My base is me and other very good people, people that love our country. And if you talk about my base or the MAGA base, you could call it a lot of—the America first base. They couldn't be more thrilled.

La base, c’est moi. Says the delusional old man who lives in a bubble mirrored on the inside.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.
