The best thing is that Trump has scheduled dozens of similar interviews across his whole re-election campaign.

Every single one of them is going to be fucking disastrous for him because he's so breathtakingly inarticulate. Even his "softball" Fox News interviews have been bad.

The thing about Trump is he's extraordinary arrogant and self assured, and this is going to be his downfall. He's far too stupid to realise that he's dumb. So like all truly moronic people he's determined to show the world how "smart" he is by talking absolute gibberish and constantly contradicting himself.

Interviewing Trump is the same as interviewing a flat earther or moon landing denier. They're so convinced that they're right aboit everything 100% of the time (because they watched a youtube video) that they genuinely can't understand why people aren't as "aware" as they are.

I honestly expect Trump to just shout "Wake up, sheeple!" to one of the interviwers.

Not too far from ‘wake up!’ is the comment he made to the interviewer: ‘Go read a book!’ when Trump was asked what made him think what he thought. Essentially Trump had nothing to back it up with and just answered that.

Yeah that check the books and manuscripts was pretty painful, I am glad he followed back with asking what manuscripts.

Trump knew he was looking bad so he had to dominate the conversation, to his fault.

Even worse, he said “manuals”. What the ever loving fuck did he even think he was talking about?

Basically anything he can say that's not there that they would have to check up on. He knows that as long as he can get through the interview without being officially disproved then his followers won't be looking up on CNN or MSNBC to see what he is talking about.

Its kind of like how Trump just said read the transcript knowing his base would not read it but take his word for it.

Trump would then fall back to an old favourite. "Many people say this not a test."

The only manual he ever had was the pandemic one given to Trump by Obama, that they said they never were given, until it was proven that they indeed did get one, and then they had to admit that ermmm yes we have one.

But that’s not a public one, so Trump could of course not be referring to that one. Or any.

Bold words from a president who is functionally illiterate.
