The interview

Watching Axios reporter Jonathan Swan's interview for HBO with Trump ...



Holy mackerel! I've never listened to Trump speak for such a length of time and it was scary. On every subject brought up, he had a skewed and false perspective that was a combination of lie and created alternate reality.

As I watched, I was reminded of two books, one by James Comey and one by Andy McCabe, both directors of the FBI fired by Trump. They describe how Trump talks non-stop, lying contimuously, and trying to coerce his subject's tacit agreement with his relentless bullsh*t. Most people just wither under this barage ... it's easier to nod and stay quiet and hope it will all end soon ... but this is how Trump eats people up until their independence and integrity is destroyed. Comey and McCabe were able to stand up to him and speak the truth, and so they were fired.
