Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.
Yes, Trump, let the hate flow through you. Unleash your racism in a flood of glorious hate for all the world to watch on the television, and show the world who you truly are.
What do you mean “show who he truly is”? How is this different from the last 8 years?
It’s more explicit, on TV, in sound-bite chunks.
In a world where everything revolves around pushing the most information inside a short attention span, this can matter a lot. A clip can go viral, become a meme, become repeated and played again and again, it doesn’t matter what someone did over a few months if everything they hear about that person is what they did in a couple of seconds.
Having trump calling someone the N-word, on video, would become a lightning rod of confirmation that people can shove into others’ faces, and show them that “do you want to vote for this man”? It doesn’t take 1 hour of explanation, it takes 10 seconds of a sideline TikTok video.
Outbursts of uncontrolled anger are a common symptom of alzheimer’s/dementia beginning to degrade the prefrontal cortex and the brain’s emotional regulation.
Yep. I have an acquaintance with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and he has posted a lot about how emotionally disregulated he is. He’s fine in writing but he has warned his friends that if they visit him in person, he won’t be like they remember him.
I’m imagining that frustrating feeling of having the imprint of a thought but forgetting what it was, except all the freaking time. Must be hell.
Yeah, Trump’s too old and senile to be President. Weird too. Much too weird to be President.
Weeeeeeeeeird.
“I think it’s a very nasty question,” Trump said. “For you to start off a question and answer period especially when you’re 35 minutes late … in such a hostile manner, I think it’s a disgrace.”
It’s just his way of saying, “I’d rather not answer that.”
And NYT said the reason for the 35 minute delay was because he was having a hissy fit over live fact checking.
Aww… did Twumpy-wumpy miss his nap-time?
How is it that not a single journalist asked him to name one thing he’s done for black people?
Like during early COVID Trump was asked what he wants to say to Americans that were scared, he replied that the reporter was nasty or something similar. He can’t handle any questions that are outside of his line of thinking.
Oh, lordy, I hope there are tapes.

This wording paints a picture of physical violence. Considering how unhinged he is, it wouldn’t surprise me if he struck the interviewer like how Netanyahu struck that child for not kissing him.
That was Erdoğan, Netanyahu is a shitty politician, too, but let’s give credit where credit is due.
Right right, silly me, thank you
This wording is called headlinese. It’s the way we’ve written headlines and news articles for over 100 years. For the United States at least, to slam someone has been shorthand for lambasting someone. For several generations.
The more I think about it the more interesting it is that the skill of reading headlines is somehow disappearing from the population despite people still having to read them constantly.
