Now we know why Reince Priebus reportedly tried to quash Donald Trump's on the record meeting with the New York Times—his stream of consciousness answers reveal as clearly as ever that he's living on a totally different planet. Here's just several topics NYT reporters hit with Trump Tuesday during an early afternoon interview in which they tweeted out his responses in real time.
On not prosecuting Hillary Clinton—suddenly doesn’t want to be “divisive.”
On conflicts of interest—the law’s on his side, so there’s no conflict apparently.
On the Alt-Right/White Nationalists—they love you, Donald, you retweeted their propaganda.
On the popular vote—you lost, Donald, by nearly two million votes.
On the campaign being brutal—yes, Donald, especially for all the people of color you demonized.
On the NYT’s “rough” coverage of him—never mind all those erroneous Clinton email stories.
More on entanglements—he’s got this!
Surely, there will be more to come from this on the record interview. Contradictions abound.
