Trump's Time Magazine interview exposes a malevolent fool.

This week, Time Magazine released a long interview with Donald Trump in which the former president and current presumptive Republican presidential nominee painted a picture of his plans for an authoritarian and dystopian second term.

Trump promised to target marginalized groups and to use the power of the state against his political enemies. He said he’d let red states monitor pregnancies and talked openly of mass deportations and detention camps.

Trump’s proposals are terrifying. But they’re also remarkably incoherent. What’s most striking in the interview is that Trump, even after four years as president, has virtually no grasp on any policy issue beyond empty talking points, most of which are lies. When asked how he will implement his plans, he waffles, obfuscates, and delivers a stream of non sequitur boasts about how great he is or about how other people have said that he’s great. He lies all the time, but many of his statements on core policy issues are so garbled and gassy they don’t even qualify as lies. It’s like interacting with a chatbot programmed by a fascist parrot.

Trump’s blank, aggressive ignorance shouldn’t be a comfort. He has shown, over and over, that incompetence doesn’t have to undermine evil intent; often it can exacerbate it. He offers a vision of a presidency of cruelty and violence disavowed as it occurs, with every abuse of power accompanied by a vague flurry of denials and endless self-hagiography. Trump promises us, over and over, that he will do harm, and that he will learn nothing.

1. Wake up

If the Democrats cant make hay out of this disgusting interview, we have no hope for this November. It is all there in black and white and should be spread far and wide over and over. We need a seismic shift in this campaign. When truth is up against lies and disinformation, apparently truth loses. Where are the progressive billionaires that could fund a huge campaign to educate the uneducated on exactly what a corrupt dictatorship would look like?? I dont think any of these fools even have a clue. Show them the freedoms they would lose, the attrocities they would have to endure, the lose of the united states that we all grew up with. These people are clueless!!

Thank you.

Yesterday I saw someone posting the expected "fuck TIME" bit. I had thought they did a fine job of exposing the defendant.

9. Democrats and liberal media are not the ones that need to wake up.

We've been shouting from the rooftops since 2015. It's the magas that live in the bubble and will not listen or change.
