Eavesdropping on a toddler
Ploughing through the interview.
Jaw nearly dislocated.
As far as the, you know, potential conflict of interests, though, I mean I know that from the standpoint, the law is totally on my side, meaning, the president can’t have a conflict of interest. That’s been reported very widely. Despite that, I don’t want there to be a conflict of interest anyway. And the laws, the president can’t. And I understand why the president can’t have a conflict of interest now because everything a president does in some ways is like a conflict of interest, but I have, I’ve built a very great company and it’s a big company and it’s all over the world. People are starting to see, when they look at all these different jobs, like in India and other things, number one, a job like that builds great relationships with the people of India, so it’s all good. But I have to say, the partners come in, they’re very, very successful people. They come in, they’d say, they said, ‘Would it be possible to have a picture?’ Actually, my children are working on that job. So I can say to them, Arthur, ‘I don’t want to have a picture,’ or, I can take a picture. I mean, I think it’s wonderful to take a picture. I’m fine with a picture. But if it were up to some people, I would never, ever see my daughter Ivanka again. That would be like you never seeing your son again. That wouldn’t be good. That wouldn’t be good. But I’d never, ever see my daughter Ivanka.
This guy really is an SNL version of himself.
I was struck, going through the transcript, by how incredibly self-centered his meandering comments were. About his win, his brilliance, his success, him pushing back on complaints about him. So little about the country, the world, actual policy. I was convinced long ago that he was campaigning as a game, that he had no thought about governing, only about the game, and nothing that has happened has shaken that conviction.
And the question was “What is your spirit animal?”
Sackbut – yes, that too.
Self-centered and wholly incoherent.
Wonderful.
Also shamelessly tacky: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/23/trump_is_hawking_a_149_gold_trimmed_christmas_ornament_shaped_like_a_hat.html
