The steady deterioration of Donald Trump's mind is being broadcast in real time, thanks to Twitter and Fox and Trump's attention addiction.
Trump knows more about everything than anyone else, he has never made a mistake, China respects his very large brain, he knows the best words, hires the best people, makes the best deals . . . yet always seems to find himself in the shit. You'd think someone who has lied constantly for several decades would acquire a talent for it. Not Donald. When any obvious lie is mentioned, he must immediately construct and tell an even crazier lie to distract everyone's attention from the lie that no one believed. And on and on and on it goes.
That brings us to Monday night when Trump talked with Fox's Laura Ingraham for an hour (that's only Part 1!), sitting in his usual posture of someone patiently taking a dump, and (1) claimed the city of Portland has been burning for decades, (2) had no answer (not one word) when asked how his second term would calm racial tensions, (3) sounded like a five-year-old while telling a wacko story about "a plane from a certain city, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear and this and that ... there were like seven people in the plane ... and then a lot of people were on the plane to do big damage" during the RNC, (4) referenced "all of those horrible race riots" that occurred during Obama's presidency, (5) compared police shootings to golfers missing close-range putts, and (6) insisted (as he has more than 30 times already that the coronavirus will magically "go away" at some point in the future.
Trump begins his hour-long interview Laura Ingraham by saying "Portland has been burning for many years, for decades it's been burning," which is a lie pic.twitter.com/wbzMqy6Uyj— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Trump cares about the people of Oregon so much that he never bothered to learn how to pronounce the name of the state pic.twitter.com/rQX65q1xb2— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Asked if he wants his supporters to confront protesters, Trump says, "I want to leave it to law enforcement, but my supporters are wonderful, hardworking, tremendous people and they turn on their televisions and they look at a Portland or a Kenosha ... they can't believe it." pic.twitter.com/tlFC1PvOp5— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020

"The first time I ever heard of Black Lives Matter, I said, 'that's a terrible name. It's so discriminatory.' It's bad for Black people, it's bad for everybody." -- Trump pic.twitter.com/x1mHywacWy— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
INGRAHAM: How will a Trump reelection calm things down in the US?— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
TRUMP: "Biden won't calm thing down. They will take over." (That's not an answer to the question.) pic.twitter.com/JRR8VokkLy
The President claims people in the dark shadows who control the streets are really controlling Biden. He goes on to talk about a plane full of people wearing black uniforms but then says he can’t reveal anymore because it’s under investigation pic.twitter.com/AAk5GX0eWu— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) September 1, 2020

“We’re living in the X-files, there’s a secret army running the streets, and there’s nothing I can do about it unless I get reelected,” isn’t that great a strategy, if you think about it.— Jeff Mac (@JeffMacIsHere) September 1, 2020
President Trump tonight: "We had somebody get on a plane... it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms."— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) September 1, 2020

When Laura Ingraham is trying to steer a conversation back to reality, you know you’re in trouble.— Jason Daniel ✊🏽 (@Jasons_Thinking) September 1, 2020
“You’re not saying all poor people are criminals though.” One of multiple times that Laura Ingraham tries to steer the president away from gaffes https://t.co/YP2Z0fVHnU— Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) September 1, 2020

Trump starts comparing police shootings to golfers missing putts, but Laura Ingraham cuts him off because she realizes how bad it sounds pic.twitter.com/7oDnfUIaRf— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Trump: You know a choker they choke. Shooting a guy in the back many times couldn’t you have done something different... in the meantime he might have been going for a weapon... but they choke just like in a golf tournament they miss a 3 foot putt.... pic.twitter.com/HkzEX9ghZj— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) September 1, 2020
Here's the transcript of Trump likening police officers who shoot civilians in the back to golfers who miss clutch putts...and Fox's Laura Ingraham trying to interject to save him from himself: pic.twitter.com/pay00wYLw3

Laura is trying save him from his bananas golf metaphor but he’s plowing ahead. If he can’t get through this softball interview.....oh I can’t wait for debates. 🍿— Kate (@kadbevins36) September 1, 2020
There are probably more, but here are some of the instances where Laura had to jump in to save the President from his own comments pic.twitter.com/5yv2F5iWOZ— Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) September 1, 2020
Keep in mind, this is a TAPED interview. They could've edited this out but they chose to leave it in. Now ask yourself, why? #TrumpsTerrorism

Nothing says fair and balanced like having the interviewer help keep the interviewee on track. 🙄

Without any sense of irony, Trump claims that "law and order has increased my poll numbers by a lot." (By "law and order" he means the exact opposite!) pic.twitter.com/D9oJsnrOSb— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Trump seems to endorse a herd immunity approach to Covid while discussing coronavirus vaccines: "Once you get to a certain number -- you know, we use the word 'herd,' right? -- it's going to go away." pic.twitter.com/uVb72GfpZe— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Trump disses Dr. Fauci: "I inherited him ... you inherit a lot of people, and you have some you love, some you don't. I like him. I don't agree with him that often." pic.twitter.com/HpFF84fgC2— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
Trump's interview with Laura Ingraham today went on for more than an hour! There's a Part Two! This is how he's spending his time while a pandemic ravages the country and people are in the streets because of racial injustice. pic.twitter.com/Y5Q8Vpyv9g— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 1, 2020
