    This is why he doesn't give interviews. I think at some level he knows he is ignorant or in some sort of mental decline, but his ego won't let him admit it.
    That is dangerous.

    At one point during his latest interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Trump mixes up tariffs (a kind of sales tax imposed on imported goods) with interest rates, which are the extra money you owe when you take out a loan. Bob Davis, the journalist conducting the interview, corrects the president. It’s the kind of verbal slip that could happen to anyone. Except that Trump, after acknowledging the error, flips back around and makes it again later in the interview.

    It’s the kind of mixup that would get a first-term House member flayed in the right-wing press, but Trump is the president of the United States.

    And it’s not just some random issue where he can’t keep the words straight. Trade policy is, along with immigration, one of his signature issues where he personally has really made a mark and is governing in a way that other Republicans probably wouldn’t. During the 2016 campaign, it was routine to warn that Trump’s blundering ignorance on trade matters would end up tanking the global economy. That hasn’t happened, and in reality, the continuation of the steady recovery that began midway through Obama’s first term has been the clear bright spot of Trump-era America

    (EDIT)

    President Trump: So but what I’m saying is that I am very happy with what’s going on right now. We’ve only used a small portion of what we have to use because I have another $267 billion [in imports] to go if I want, and then I’m also able to raise interest rates. And we have money that is pouring right now, pouring —

    Mr. Davis: When you say interest rates, do you mean — do you mean tariffs, as opposed to interest rates?

    President Trump: I’m sorry, the rate, the 25 percent rate —

    Mr. Davis: Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.

    President Trump: Without even doing any more.

    Mr. Davis: Yeah.

    President Trump: We have money that is pouring into our treasury right now, and on January 1 it’ll become much more so. And here’s the story: If we don’t make a deal, then I’m going to put the $200 — and it’s really $67 — billion additional on at an interest rate between 10 and 25 depending.

    Trash is a con man, nothing but a lying con man.

    He knows what he doesn't know, but he doesn't care, thinks his couple $B immunizes himself, and keeps conning the 10Ms of ignorant, loser suckers, while ing up America and enriching the oligarchy, including himself.

    Mueller and his team aren't connable.

    This is a weak comparison/justification for Trumps incompetence and you know it.

    Why do people act surprised every time he illustrates that he doesn't know much about much? He's a blowhard, it's not even in question. He's not polished enough for the political spotlight but he obviously doesn't have to be to win.

    I'm not surprised by him at all. I'm surprised that his base doesn't realize what you stated. That is also why he doesn't have to be polished or competent. They simply don't care so long as they win.

    No one is surprised, except the fanboy cult, which was kind of the point.

    They knew this and they know it now. They just preferred him to the alternative. The country had busted pipes in the basement, they didn't care how well the plumber spoke.

    Clinton told the FBI that she did not know what the "(C)" meant at the beginning of the paragraphs and speculated it was a reference to paragraphs marked in alphabetical order — something she reiterated in ABC's exclusive interview.

    ing simple RG wanted to promote her to POTUS knowing this about her.

    We all know that was a bull excuse. The email story was always a distraction and very unimportant.

    Yet they voted for a demolishinist not a plumber. I also think that is a bull excuse for assholes to justify voting for an incompetent extremist. A majority of his base didn't vote for him because they disliked her either. It could have been anyone and so long as there was (D) at the end of their name they were voting Trump. They loved the hard right wing crazy he was spewing as those types live to be afraid and hate. It was all so very natural for them.

    Everything to do with the left's transgressions are unimportant to the left.

    Stormy Daniels, that's what's important.
