English ain't my first language, so maybe I'm missing something, but...
WHAT?
Don't worry, us that speak English as a primary language have the same reaction. You're not missing a thing!

Holy shit.We already have it, it's called Keep Pressing the Middle Option in Autocomplete.
He can't even read off a fucking teleprompter without going off-script and saying stupid shit.
He'll start reading the script and then it's as if an idea or correlation suddenly pops into his head, and he thinks, "OH YEA! I'll MENTION THAT in SOME HALF-ASSED WAY, WITH NO SEGUE AND NO CONTEXT, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY AWFUL SPEECH!!! THOSE YAHOOS WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A GUY WORKING ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE WITH A LUNCH PAIL AND A HARD HAT - THOSE GUYS LOVE ME!! THEY LOVE MY TOUGH-GUY TALK! OH, YEA - THROW HER IN JAIL!!!"
It's so nauseating.
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.
Such a good fellow New Yorker.He actually compares his TV ratings as second only to 9/11. Let that sink in.
Now join me in the corner for a good cry.
Trump talk:
The transcript is bonkers. Such a disgrace to have to talk to this man about anything of substance.
And can intelligent interviewers stop "leading the witness?" I feel like these guys are throwing Trump an oar sometimes by giving him words and responses in the form of follow-ups or when simplifying their questions for his brain solely in order to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING to print or quote. They touch on a trigger and then he rattles on his word salad for a while. Example:
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.

How is the wall going to stop the Opiate epidemic?
Is he writing these or one of his underlings?
TRUMP: Yeah, it's funny: One of the best chemistries I had was with (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel.
(Crosstalk) AP: Really?
TRUMP: Chancellor Merkel.
So, uh, we're pretty screwed huh?

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.
Lol, it would be interesting to see what positive narrative a right wing news source would try to get out of this total nonsense.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.
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.
This is hilarious. He really thinks the "really" is because the AP guy doesn't know who he's referring to.
Trump: I said NATO was obsolete 'not knowing much about NATO'
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).

At the center of it all is a chief executive who knows nothing. When he desperately avoids details by rotating through his mental rotisserie of superlatives very, very or tremendous or terrific or whatever hyperbolic pitchman gibberish hes trained himself to repeat he comes off as an uninformed dolt, conspicuously avoiding the question with more vigor than he avoids strong gusts of wind. Conversely, when Trump struggles to repeat issue-oriented details, he comes off as a scattered, barely coherent toddler attempting to repeat something he heard at the grownups table and failing badly.
Nevertheless, 98 percent of Trump voters are supposedly cool with all of this. Its difficult to make sense of this other than it being like the fandom surrounding sports franchises. No amount of losing will force superfans away from their favorite team, regardless of how awful they are. Hell, Philadelphia sports fans were mostly OK with it when the Eagles hired Michael Vick after he was caught torturing and murdering dogs for money. In the case of Donald Trump, however, the consequences are far more damaging more damaging that Trump voters will ever admit. But someday soon, theyll owe the rest of us an apology.
pretty sure this guy is a coke head from way back and his speech characteristics are affected by that
also he is about as uneducated as politicians get
The general public has already become desensitized to his behavior.
Is trump intelligent at all? He speaks like hes a fucking moron. Literally someone with an IQ that can freeze water.
Unintelligible doesn't even begin to describe it. I know more eloquent 5 year olds with a larger vocabulary.
Saw this headline from Salon that reminded me of your post:
A display of unbelievable ignorance: In a real country with a real president, Trump's AP interview would destroy him
