Hate to give him the floor, but here it is:
On Thursday, at a supposed economic address in Manhattan, Trump was asked, “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?”
And here is Trump’s entire, unedited answer:
I found myself reading this nonsense in Christopher Walken's voice and that made it much more enjoyable.
I'm recalling William Shattner doing a free verse version of Rocket Man. It was actually very, very good.
Not to leave out Sarah Cooper
Brad DeLong:
Try to parse Donald Trump’s speech today, and he presents as a random text generator with a ten-word memory: “bacon” leads to “products” which leads to “energy” which leads to “wind” which leads to “when [wind] doesn’t blow” which leads to “problem”. But there is no train of thought here at all. This presents as a very high level of cognitive deficit indeed:
It is nice that you are beginning to understand, "the Weave", The ODs' super brilliant rhetorical trick he uses to outfox the libs. Only a stable genius can handle the complexity and nuance of " the Weave".
And the hits keep coming, although the NYT and WaPo try to edit things to make Trump look good.
More from Brad DeLong:
"Were this word salad to have been barfed out by a General-Purpose Transformer Large Language Model, I would judge it to have failed the turning test and not to be of human level intelligence, but just stringing words together according to some probability map:"
JD "Yes, I am a human. why do you ask?" Vance laments that school shootings are a ‘fact of life’ in the US as he calls for more security
They're not even offering thoughts and prayers anymore. School shootings are just a fact of life now like the changing of the seasons. Fuck Vance.
Shorter Trump: "I'm for it as long as someone else pays for it".
No real policy or commitment to child care as a priority.
The story that will not die apparently has reached the "explain it by trends" stage. This Colorado Sun article:
Is racism fueling the furor over a Venezuelan gang “takeover” of apartment buildings in Aurora?
Others might answer "of course."
It's not even debatable. Racism pure and simple.
