This is an insane example of how he thinks he’s right because his maga crowd cheers him on. The interviewer makes a factual point, then trump makes a stupid joke nonsense non answer about how the guys wrong, and the crowd laughs and cheers. idiocracy at its finest.

Mafia diplomacy. It’s the only trick in his book. He thinks he’s a genius because he walks around inappropriately threatening people, because he is entirely transactional. There is not an actual relationship – just whatever is best for him at all times.
“It doesn’t matter if you won or lost, you still have to fight like hell.”
It’s all he knows how to do. Sounds exactly like who I would want as my frontman for a populist takeover of American industry if I were a billionaire.

Trump does something called “the deceive,” where he’ll start off on a thinly veiled deception, and when he realizes it’s not untruthful enough, he’ll go back to it to make it even more deceptive.

Because I apparently hate myself, I listened to the entire interview at work today.
Trump adviser Stephen Miller posted that “Trump’s Bloomberg interview at the Economic Club of Chicago was the greatest live interview any political leader or politician has done on the economy in our lifetimes. Period.”
And if anyone believes that crock, then I have lost all faith in humanity. “Period.”

Trump doesn’t know how tariffs work. Does he. He keeps on saying China will be “charged”. Is he stupid?

It’s why Trump won’t do any real interviews like on 60 minutes, where there is no cult in the audience and actual fact checking.

> While speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump said that the country "Has a great military," to which Micklethwait stopped the former president to reiterate that he "Was asking about tariffs.”
> "Not one president charged China anything," Trump said, again not noting the allies and policy, which Micklethwait pointed out for a second time.
Weave = marketing to try and sell his rambling to maga while also giving the press a way to sane wash for clicks.
Call it weave but it’s rambling by any other name. And you don’t need great memory to have a synapse fire off and remind you that you’re talking about tariffs not how it was once hip to wear an onion on your belt.

>”Our allies have taken advantage of us more than our enemies,” Trump said after being prompted for a third time
[1990](https://archive.ph/Q6T35) Donald Trump: We Americans are laughed at around the world for losing a hundred and fifty billion dollars year after year, for defending wealthy nations for nothing, nations that would be wiped off the face of the earth in about fifteen minutes if it weren’t for us. Our “allies” are making billions screwing us.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t cut off enough. But, to the interviewers credit, he did land some zingers on him. Take the Google question or the Macron questions, and word salad incoherent orange Hitler offered up.
Sidenote, when Trump got defensive and started insulting John Micklethwait, he should have poured it on. There was no reason Micklethwait shouldn’t have offered a rebuttal in response to Trump saying he didn’t know anything and was wrong often, about Trump being a clueless prick convicted multiple times over for fraud and his half dozen bankruptcies.

He still thinks that tariffs means that he is charging China money. This interview proves it because he says it point blank. That other presidents were too scared to charge China money. So I hope nobody sane-washes his tariff “plan” by pretending it’s about bringing manufacturing plants all back to America.

The example he gave for small business, not Apple, was such clear bullshit, paraphrased:
I met a man who builds… hmm.. I guess kitchen cabinets sounds plausible. Kitchen cabinets from China and Korea are cheaper, not as good but he can’t compete. He said “sir can you help” and I helped. I saw him 2-3 days ago and he cried. He actually cried. And he’s not the sort of man to cry I’ll tell you that.
Why want he asked “what was his name? Describe his appearance”. It was so clearly made up on the spot…

I just wasted 64 minutes listening to fucking Trump drone on and on at the Chicago Economic Club, with the worst case of diarrhea of the mouth ever witnessed on TV. IMHO John Micklethwait lost control of the interview, he could not stop Trump from blabbing about the same old shit. Sure there were moments where Micklethwait got in a zinger or two, but he should have fact checked Trump at every turn. Instead, Trump’s controlled every minute with his impossible claims of “No president has ever done what I did about the economy, war, the border, the Supreme Court, trade, women, relationships with our allies…blah blah blah…” then he tops off that turd pile of lies with how when people left his peaceful rally on January 6th, they marched quietly to the Capitoll where the Capitol police welcomed them into the building, and then antifa took over and havoc ensued…..Will we ever be rid of this horrible person.

It’s the interviewers fault for having a crowd. A laugh track would have sufficed. Being serious for a second; his followers don’t care that he didn’t answer in good faith, they’re happy he “won” by giving a bullshit answer. That’s the thing with engaging with them, it’s never in good faith.
