TIME Magazine has released the full, unedited transcript of its interview with Trump alongside its cover story I put in the comments. I had to take several breaks to get through it, it's bad, really bad, because it's our President. If you've ever visited a loved one in a Memory Care facility you'd know the residents can give hours long dissertations without saying anything of substance, long strings of filterless free association that could lead anywhere. While Trump has always been a narcissist and a con man, he was also an effective communicator, you can't pull a successful con without that skill. What we see in this interview seems to be truly disturbing and we need to face it together as a nation and do something about it. Please take the time to read.

WTF

[BonkDaCarnivore @BonkDaCarnivore]

Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?"

Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser.

There's your midterm messaging from the GOP

NEW: In an attack ad against US Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a woman accuses him of pushing transgender surgeries on minors "like her."

As it turns out, she isn't from Ohio and didn't have surgery until she was an adult.

Vote him out!!!!!

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

.@JonHusted, here is a video of you voting against every Iran War Powers Resolution.

You have had 13 chances to oppose the war, but you voted with Trump every single time. You and your party are the reason diesel is $6.82/gal in Ohio.

Amy Acton called for an emergency gas tax holiday Monday morning. Six and a half hours later, Ramaswamy announced his own version — under a headline declaring "Vivek Leads." It's the second time in two months his campaign has rolled out a major cost proposal after Acton already moved on it. Read more: https://t.co/uQLw8aWwxN

Ken Paxton won’t agree to debate James Talarico, and we all know why. He doesn’t want to answer these questions:

“Why did you give an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached by your fellow Republicans, by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?” James Talarico

Former FBI agent Michelle Ball helped take a 50-page confession about buying help in Congress. Then Kash Patel's FBI fired her over her work on Trump's 2020 election case, and the bribery probe died. Now she's suing: https://t.co/OWEnppgDq7

CNN: "Right now the Chinese communist state media are allowed on the White House grounds, but we are not. I think that says it all."

TRUMP IS THE COMMUNIST.

[TiffinOhio.net @TiffinOhioNews]

NEW: Ohio man slams Vivek Ramaswamy for "making hundreds of millions of dollars scamming people like me" in new #OHGov ad.

"Alzheimer's is heartbreaking. My wife had a brilliant mind, quirky sense of humor"

"What Vivek Ramaswamy did to families like ours is unforgivable. He pushed an Alzheimer's drug that he knew didn't work..."

"I just would like my wife back. Mr. Ramaswamy, you don't give a damn about anybody. I just hope at some point he realizes the damage he's done"

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

Every politician who voted AGAINST Joe Biden's major legislation and then showed up back home to take credit for the projects and funding it delivered should be called out EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

You voted NO.

OWN YOUR VOTE.

[Christopher Gibbs @ChrisRGibbs]

If you retired and are collecting social security, Vivek will make you go back to work to earn your retirement.
Yes, he said so 😵‍💫
Vote @amyactonoh to save your retirement

[Richard Smith @Richard_ezio]

Trump Jr. took $100K+ per night on a private island + fireworks from Putin’s “Order of Friendship” oligarch.

Trump says “totally allowed.” Then suddenly: “He paid him back.” No receipts. No proof. Congress is now investigating.

This isn’t a wedding gift. It’s a bribe.

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

There are three important sources of funding for the Kennedy Center: government, charity, and ticket sales. Congress has already allocated $256 million for the Center that Trump is holding hostage. And charity and ticket sales plummeted as soon as Trump put his name on the building. So all he has to do is step away, and people will come flooding back.

Thank you @TheLeadCNN & @jaketapper for having me!

DeWine endorsed Ramaswamy to succeed him. Now he's publicly shutting down Ramaswamy's plan to shut down Ohio universities. "Can't and won't happen," DeWine told university leaders — but he's out in January and can't bind the next governor. Ramaswamy still hasn't named a single university or program he'd cut.

Gee if only there was an amendment that said the president could be removed from office if he was deemed unfit or violated the constitution.

[Grant Stern  @grantstern]

Maria Elvira Salazar voted against the Biden infrastructure bill, then showed up at Miami City Hall to present a check from the federal government from the infrastructure bill.

I asked her about it.

She’s the same Republican who voted to fund ICE and now released a video opposing Trump’s immigration policies.

[P a u l ◉ @SkylineReport]

THE EVIDENCE CHANGED:

First it was an:

“EXTRAORDINARILY GENEROUS WEDDING GIFT.”

Now President Trump says his son told him:

“I’M PAYING IT BACK.”

So a few questions:

When was the decision to repay Kremlev made?

Before or after the payments became public?

How much is being repaid?

Has any money actually changed hands?

Does it cover every expense Kremlev funded?

And the simplest question:

WHY DID A PRESIDENTIAL FAMILY THAT COULD PAY ITS OWN BILLS ACCEPT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM A FOREIGN BUSINESSMAN IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Repayment may answer one question.

It creates receipts for several more.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Trump is lying his Azz off because before he took over the Kennedy Center & appointed his buddies & their wives to the board of trustees it had $40 million in surplus & $307 in revenue in 2024. The audited 990’s forms show Trump is lying & it only had issues now because of him.

Again — Robert Reich is right on the money
