To be honest, listening to that interview, not only is he still a gigantic asshole, I honestly can’t tell if he’s dumb or suffering from cognitive decline.

    Yes, i didn’t mean to imply Trump is smart here, he is of course incredibly dumb. I think though that is how this works out for him, he says an incredibly dumb thing which people fixate on, and that gets the headlines. The horrible things he’s doing are then in articles below the fold, and he gets away with it.

      Yeah, basically. Although I do put the blame on the legacy media for not giving more attention to the horrible things he’s doing. The more coverage it gets, the more aware people are about the terrible effects of his policies. I’m glad we’re finally seeing his approval rating for him and his policies in decline, but it’s still too high
