I tried to watch it earlier this evening. It was brutal. He can't finish a thought. I would love to fact check some of the claims he made but it would be nearly impossible without a room full of analysts.

I'm gonna try to watch this later. I give myself 3 minutes before I give up. Thanks for sharing the link.

Update: I made it about 20 minutes into the "interview" and had to stop. The gish gallop is hard with Trump and there's no way I could listen to it for a full hour.

Kind of like in "The Walking Dead" comics when Carl is telling his children about all of the events of the past?

There are plenty of E-Bibles (pardon my terrible term) available on the Internet for free since many translations are in the public domain. Edit: All of the other stuff is available via webpages, multiple e-book formats, and on webpages. Again, it's all public domain.

I worked at a major public university for 14 years during the late 90s / early 00s. This happens more than people realize.

Recently he is looking confused and lost more often than not.

I live in Louisiana near the location of the unprecedented flood in 2016 that occurred during the Presidential campaign. He made a trip to one of the relief centers, handed out some toys that had been provided by a charity group, shook hands with some emergency and relief workers, then left. After this photo-op, I had to listen to friends and family about how much Trump had done for the relief effort and Obama had done nothing. It was our paper towel moment.

Is this the visit he made with Franklin Graham I read about in the news? I saw some Facebook posts claiming he brought several trucks of supplies and a tanker truck full of fuel that he paid for and the post also claimed he donated $4 million dollars of his personal money to the relief effort. I have a hard time believing this and have not been able to find any credible news sources that credits Trump with paying for the supplies, the fuel, or making the donations. If anyone has anything about this, please share.

Also, that weird centaur stance makes it look like he's either photoshopped into the image or supported by a stick. I can't decide which.

I really don't understand the hype about AI in it's current state.

This is probably just theater. Iran can't look weak but they really don't want to pike the bear.

Kind of has a Willy Wonka "no, don't, stop" vibe
