Everything is pretend to him. Even the importance of human life. If you think he cares about words, you're sorely mistaken.

We should stop excusing blatant malice as some kind of mistake. He cares about words as much as Hitler actually cared what the word Aryan meant. They recognize that the definitions of words are established by people, so they can make them mean whatever the fuck they want them to mean. They ... give ... no ... fucks. And I mean literally. None of the fucks. Not words, not human rights, not the sanctity of life, none of it. Only power.

edit: Oh, and they think you're fucking stupid for actually caring about dumb shit like "what words mean" when we can exercise power over that.

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Only to the "facts should matter" crowd. Other audiences come up with their own interpretations, regardless. :-|

"I'm only pretending to be a senile moron"

*Social experiment.

In this case, "How much of a befuddled moron can you be before the magic (R) actually starts to matter?"

And I suspect we'll never find the answer to that.

True playas keep their gold in Bose-Einstein condensate form.

One could make the very technically true argument that gold can be melted, but I would laugh at that person. I would not laugh with mirth, I would laugh with disdain.

Was he looking for the word illiquid? I'm not investing in corn futures but I'm going to laugh really hard if it gets a bump today

he's on uppers they all are

The fanciest teetotals I know are all secret pill poppers.

One can hope it's micro seizures....we can all hope he croaks before Nov.

In this one, tiny, insignificant case, I'm going to give our asshole criminal buddy Trump the benefit of the doubt. This looks more like a transcription error and he really said, "that's Biden." The level of general evil insanity from Trump remains deeply troubling of course.

“But when I say that Obama is the president of our country bah bah bah, they go, ‘He doesn’t know that Spiden [sic], he doesn’t know.’ So it’s very hard to be sarcastic.”

Not a Qultists, but from that video, it's clear he was just saying "she will never be running for vice president" for the fourteenth time in 2 minutes.

Democrats fall in love , Republicans fall in line.
