President Donald Trump's "incoherence" in a little-noticed exclusive interview with GB News caught the eye of a British journalist who was startled by what he witnessed, he said Friday.

During the interview, a rambling Trump managed to touch on subjects ranging from immigration to Meghan Markle's return to Britain, prompting iPaper columnist James Ball to argue the president was an “elderly man” who no longer had a grasp of reality.
What was your first clue?
Trump: If we're not going to be treated properly, we're going to do that, and all we have to do to cut our trade deficit with the country is not trade with them. If we don't do any trading with Canada. We just end all trade with Canada. We'd save ourselves $90 billion.

Don't forget they do all of their business, almost all of their business with the United States, and we do a relatively small amount of business with them, but if we didn't want to, if we were playing hardball, all we do is say, what are you going to do, no trading with Canada. If we did no trading with Canada, we'd save $90 billion.

And so what I'm saying very simply is that we should be paying the lowest interest rate in the world
Reporter: Can you explain to the American people, if this is not a war, what exactly is it?

Trump: A lot of people don’t call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing.

Reporter: It certainly doesn’t feel like small potatoes. 18 service members have died. We’re seeing record long deployments.

Trump: Why is it record long? How long were we in Vietnam?
The rest of that exchange:
“Why is it record-long?” Trump roared back. “How long were we in Vietnam? How long were we in Vietnam?”

“We’re in five months now — and you know what we did in five months?” Trump continued. “They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. That’s what we did.”

Trump then dropped a warning while defending his war that has dragged on for over six months.

“Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, because if they did, you probably wouldn’t be standing here very long,” he told Scott.
Yeah, about that:
“This is an odd way to understand a nuclear capability.”

“Countries don’t immediately launch nuclear missiles as soon as they obtain them – instead, they generally use them to try to deter invasion by their adversaries,” he reasoned. “Why Iran would immediately launch its theoretical nukes against European nations who hadn’t involved themselves in the war against it is never spelt out by Trump.”
Trump has no fucking idea what he's doing. Absolutely none. He’s absolutely clueless. Congress could save us all from some of this, from legislation up and through impeachment and removal. We are at the clear and present danger stage. 

James Carville wants the networks to run wall to wall coverage of Trumpalooza so the country can see how demented Trump really is. More and more that sounds like a good idea.
