Holy shit.
And Swiftkey's default prediction never stops going "I am a beautiful person" over and over...
I feel like it's a bit of an elephant in the room to talk about in political circles or on the media but... Everyone knows Trump is really dumb right? I think I just feel... Resigned exasperation coming from the interviewer.
We need to just give up, and start attaching translated versions of his communication so we at least have a clearer idea of what he's trying to say.

But he tells it like it is!
Don't allow him to take credit for people translating what he's trying to say. He doesn't know what he's trying to say.
Show the world how stupid he is.
Such a good fellow New Yorker.

It's super important to be able to get something vaguely coherent from him so we can attempt to extrapolate what he might actually do rather than just accept whatever he's decided to make up or lie about or not properly engage with today.
I don't know what's worse imagining, the people that can see or read this and think it's perfectly fine or the people that see/read this and think he's fucking nuts but still feel good about voting for him over Hillary. My parents think he's a fucking moron but voted him over Hillary, because she's way worse apparently.

Senate investigation is being obstructed by Burr (so much for bipartisanship), th house investigation we already know the issues there, the FBI investigation is a mystery, and US officials now reporting the Russians "tried" to collude, when just a couple weeks ago CNN had a story I made a thread about saying they had evidence there was collusion, and now the DOJ lawyer is mysteriously resigning.
Not looking good. I have a feeling in order to save their skins some repubs are using the, "the best interests of the american people" line to sweep it all under the rug.

How in the hell does it take someone four hours to complete a tweet? He even managed to tweet something completely unrelated between them. I'm officially joining the Dementia bandwagon.
People voted for this man.

Looks like someone programed their tweeting app poorly or forgot that the tweets go out every 2 hours.
Is he writing these or one of his underlings?

Just vote these people out of office next year. If they won't do anything about Trump then the American people will have to replace these congressmen. I mean, jesus, were they not paying attention to those town halls? People are mad.

Has anyone found some good conservative articles about the AP interview?
I'm interested in what someone looking for good shit from Trump got out of this interview. It's (unintelligible), and I've learned nothing for having read it entirely, same as the partial NYT transcript weeks ago.

Lol, it would be interesting to see what positive narrative a right wing news source would try to get out of this total nonsense.

Trump is clearly the smartest man alive. The only reason he can't get out a complete sentence is because he simultaneously is coming up with so many great ideas that regular humans can't decipher his dense method of communication. He is truly a magnificent example of existence's potential.

With certain Twitter clients you are able to see which twitter client made a specific tweet.
Trump always tweets from an Android device. All the ones with hashtags, links and images come from an iPhone. His assistant.
He doesn't know how to use Twitter beyond "Type in words and send it off"

A Democratic House would run impeachment articles and the GOP knows it. Right now they're too worried about their own hides in 2018 given the recent special election swings.

I mean, it makes sense on a certain level that Trump simply doesn't understand that there are people who don't believe him when he says something, because there very clearly are not enough people who don't believe him when he says something.
He became President on the back of some of the most outlandish lies imaginable. He's basically a four year old who got a bucket of ice cream for telling his parents that the dog was the one who flushed their wallet down the toilet.
I don't think it's worthy of a thread but first thing I saw on yahoo news this morning:
It's like that with nearly every subject, and he justifies his flip flopping with his previous "ignorance", even though his whole campaign was based on these things.
Watch him regret deregulation and the removal of environment safety measures in a few years because he wasn't aware of their importance.

I'm surprised this AP interview didn't get bigger traction in the media yesterday.
Are reporters and commentators just too afraid to state the obvious?
Two things are definitely clear from this interview. Trump still has only a surface level of knowledge on major issues and Trump has "good" days and "bad" days.
On bad days he clearly exhibits symptoms of early dementia where he can't stay focused on a topic and can't retain information longer than 5 minutes. He gets easily rattled and will lash out, and then revert to his safe place (ie. like discussing his electoral college win).

Illegal aliens with a week's worth of exposure to the English language communicate and articulate better than this great leader of deplorables.
Nah, forget it, the foreigners don't deserve any sort of comparison to Trumpy scum.
I'll go off on a Trump tangent here and just ask why do these Trump people seem like and give off the vibe of Death Eaters?

The general public has already become desensitized to his behavior.
Saw this headline from Salon that reminded me of your post:
A display of unbelievable ignorance: In a real country with a real president, Trumps AP interview would destroy him

Your media is also total shit. Watching CNN and MSNBC clips of talking heads on LWT slathering praise on Ivanka and Kushner made me gag.
I cancelled my subscription to Time magazine after the editor wrote about an interview with Trump and commented something along the lines of: "at times he appears to not know the answer, but it may be because he is too deep in thought to answer"
No, it's because he's dumb as rocks, fucking call your President out. Jesus Christ. Your media is enabling this idiocy, because they're making this the new normal. Obama would have been hung, drawn and quartered for that 9/11 comment.

I'm honestly bewildered as to how a one on one interview feature so many (unintelligible) moments. I thought those only happened when you're showing a tape of someone being filmed in secret and the audio doesn't come across perfectly or something. But this is te president sitting across an AP reporter! What the fuck!?

Not to make this too much about race, but I can't help but to wonder how it is we came to a point where our last two white Presidents are understandablely considered (how can I put this) not too smart. Whereas, our only black president was considered one of the smarter and better thinkers in recent history.
Is this due to media bias? Is it due to voters in certain parties caring more about intelligence? Or am I just crazy?
