The ranting of the mentally challenged Man Child: The Wall Street Journal interviews the President.

The other day, President Donald Trump sat down for a long drawn out interview with the Wall Street Journal. It should have been an easy interview, after all the WSJ is owned by the same people who own FOX news, so its about as close to "friendly ground" as the President can find anywhere.

And it was probably good timing, given that a book just came out, basically accusing the President of having the intellect of a young child, possibly to the point of being so mentally incompetent as to force his removal from office . So a long deep interview on policy would be exactly what the President needed to shatter that image.

However, as it turns out....there was a bit of a problem or several.\

Quoting from the article:

first, for context, the original question:

"The Wall Street Journal: Yes, actually that seems as good a place as any to start, maybe, in Davos…"
"Mr. Trump: [...]And I just think I want to tell the story of what’s happening in the United States. A lot of tremendous things are happening in the United States, including the fact that you can now live without being strangled by regulation. You people actually wrote one of the best stories that I’ve ever seen on regulation; you said more than any president in history.
That was the full pager, that wasn’t…

WSJ: Yes.

Mr. Trump:…I mean I actually read it because I’ve never seen a full page—it’s actually a full page article."

First problem: this "You people actually wrote one of the best stories that I’ve ever seen on regulation; you said more than any president in history." is not a sentence.....what was the article about? according to the wording it appears at one point the WSJ itself was president....and had a lot to say about something or other.

But the larger, much more telling problem: It seems the President of the United States has NEVER seen a full page newspaper article.

Now, my entire adult life has been during a time in which the overwhelming majority of my generation gets its news from a digital format, a format is which "full page article" is a meaningless expression, as there is no long any such thing. 

However, even I have occasionally picked up an actual physical newspaper, and seen a few full page articles.

The President on the other hand, spent the majority of his life in a world in which you HAD to get your news from physical media...and still has apparently never been able to see a full page article.  In fact it was so unique that the President deigned himself to read......

That says alot about the mental abilities of the stable genius 

Moving on with the article:

"WSJ: Did you see the other economy news yesterday? The markets did dip a little bit after some news suggesting that you were going to maybe pull out of Nafta. I wonder where you’re at on Nafta and if you’re concerned about the impact pulling out and renegotiating could have on the market.

Mr. Trump: I’m not sure that markets would dip; I think that markets would—I can tell you I’m not sure about world markets, but I can tell you I think the American market would go up if I terminated Nafta and renegotiated a new deal.

We are—when I campaigned I said we’ll either renegotiate Nafta or I’ll terminate it.

And nothing’s changed, I have fulfilled many of my campaign promises. One of the promises that you know is being very seriously negotiated right now is the wall and the wall will happen. And if you look—point, after point, after point—now we’ve had some turns. You always have to have flexibility. As an example, we’ve been much tougher on China, but not nearly as tough as I would be, but they are helping us a lot with North Korea.

And you see in North Korea what’s happening with North Korea all of a sudden. China’s been helping us a lot, so you can veer a little bit differently, but for the most part everything I’ve said I’ve done."
So, a question about the NORTH AMERICAN free trade agreement apparently prompted the president to talk about china and North Korea. I believe it may actually be possible he has no idea where either of those countries are (which would explain the Navy Ships he ordered to the wrong place last year) More worrying is he seems to think both those countries are in North America. So Canada, you might want to prepare for an attack by american forces after Trump orders an atomic bomb dropped on Winnipeg "to teach Kim Jong Il an lesson"

And moving on:

"WSJ: And a question on China for you, just to follow up on Nafta, withdrawal is still on the table for you?

Mr. Trump: If we don’t make the right deal, I will terminate Nafta. OK?

Now, do I want to? No, I’d rather leave it, but I feel that if that if—you know, the United States has been treated very, very badly. That has been a terrible agreement for us, and if we don’t make a good deal for our country—we lose $71 billion in trade deficits with Mexico. We lose $17 billion with Canada. If we don’t make a fair deal for the United States and the United States taxpayer, then I will terminate it."

So to sum up, the President will totally terminate NAFTA, but he'd rather not, even though he thinks its been a shit deal for America.

Ok.....um Mr. President, why do you prefer to leave America in what you say is a shit deal? Is it possible you dont understand words?

And later on:

"WSJ: You think North Korea is trying to drive a wedge between the two countries, between you and President Moon?

Mr. Trump: I’ll let you know in—within the next 12 months, OK, Mike?

WSJ: Sure.

Mr. Trump: I will let you know. But if I were them I would try. But the difference is I’m president; other people aren’t. And I know more about wedges than any human being that’s ever lived, but I’ll let you know. But I’ll tell you, you know, when you talk about driving a wedge, we also have a thing called trade. And South Korea—brilliantly makes—we have a trade deficit with South Korea of $31 billion a year. That’s a pretty strong bargaining chip to me."

In fairness to President Trump it really would take him 12 months of dedicated research to understand the big words in that question (like "who is this President Moon guy, I though I was President?")

He also really does know more about wedges than anyone else....his golf resorts are full of sand wedges, lob wedges, gap wedges, pitching wedges, some of the members wives wear wedge shoes, his favorite star wars character is Wedge Antilles, and he knows where to get the best Potato Wedges...he's just not sure why the North Koreans putting them between him and the South Korean's is a bad thing....those suckers are delicious.

"WSJ: Just to be clear, you haven’t spoken to the North Korean leader, I mean when you say a relationship with Korea—

Mr. Trump: I don’t want to comment on it—I don’t want to comment, I’m not saying I have or I haven’t. But I just don’t—

WSJ: Some people would see your tweets, which are sometimes combative towards Kim Jong Un...

Mr. Trump: Sure, you see that a lot with me and then all of a sudden somebody’s my best friend. I could give you 20 examples. You give me 30. I’m a very flexible person."

I actually dont have anything funny here....just a question: What the fuck does" I could give you 20 examples. You give me 30." mean? How the fuck does that work? Is Trump assuming we know better than he does what he does? Cause otherwise I'm pretty fucking confused....

"WSJ: Do you have to have a completely funded wall or—would $1.6 billion be enough?

(CROSSTALK)

Mr. Trump: Let me, let me tell you something about the wall. So I’ve always said we have to have a wall. I’ve also said Mexico’s got to pay for it—sometimes you know on occasion, I’d add who’s going to pay for it? Mexico. Well they will pay for it, OK? There are many forms of payment. I could name 10 right now. There are many forms of payment, I didn’t say how."

Challenge accepted.  Let's see forms of payment 1) Cash 2) Check 3) Credit 4) Sexual favors 5) Drugs 6) Barter 7) fuck it....I got nothing. Your turn Mr. president....name the 10....|


"WSJ: Could you give us an example?

Mr. Trump: They can pay for it through, as an example, they can pay for it indirectly through Nafta. OK? You know, we make a good deal on Nafta, say I’m going to take a small percentage of that money and it’s going to go toward the wall. Guess what? Mexico’s paying. Now Mexico may not want to make the Nafta deal and which is OK, then I’ll terminate Nafta…which I think would be frankly a positive for our country. I don’t think it’s a positive for Mexico, I don’t think it’s a positive for the world. But it’s a positive for our country because I’d make a much better deal. There is no deal that I can make on Nafta that’s as good as if I terminate Nafta and make a new deal. OK? But I feel that we have a chance of making a reasonable deal, the way it is now."


Right...so if I'm following this correctly, we are going to take a small amount of the money that according to the President a few quotes ago, we arnt making....and use this invisible money to pay for the wall. And if Mexico doesnt go for this, we will stop giving them 71 Billion (according to the president) every year (to fund a wall that costs about 1.6 Billion) . But if Mexico will let us use invisible money we will totally get fucked over in a horrible deal (according to Trump)

Well......I guess "not understanding how math works and spewing words and numbers" was the correct answer for the 7th 8th 9th or 10th form of payment?

"Mr. Trump: The other thing…so the wall. The wall’s never meant to be 2,100 miles long. We have mountains that are far better than a wall, we have violent rivers that nobody goes near, we have areas...

But, you don’t need a wall where you have a natural barrier that’s far greater than any wall you could build, OK? Because somebody said oh, he’s going to make the wall smaller. I’m not going to make it smaller. The wall was always going to be a wall where we needed it. And there are some areas that are far greater than any wall we could build. So, maybe someday somebody could make that clear, Sarah, will you make that clear please?"

Areas where what? like to be clear....thats NOT me editing his comments. He literally just stopped in the middle of the sentence. I guess his brain ran out of gas?

Also, violent rivers? I could be wrong, but the major river on the border is the Rio Grande...and there is also a racist nickname for Mexicans dealing with the idea they swim across that river all the time....just saying.

Finally though, we get the smallest but funniest in my opinion error here. "The wall’s never meant to be 2,100 miles long"  This is actually something president Trump and I agree on. Because you see the southern border of this country is 1989 miles long. I wonder if the other 119 miles have something to do with those places "we have areas..."

"Mr. Trump: I saw on television, Donald Trump is going to make the wall smaller; no, the wall’s identical. The other thing about the wall is we’ve spent a great deal of time with the Border Patrol and with the ICE agents and they know this stuff better than anybody, they’re unbelievable.

They both endorsed me, the only time they’ve ever endorsed a presidential candidate, OK? And they endorsed us unanimously. I had meetings with them, they need see-through. So, we need a form of fence or window. I said why you need that—makes so much sense? They said because we have to see who’s on the other side.

If you have a wall this thick and it’s solid concrete from ground to 32 feet high which is a high wall, much higher than people planned. You go 32 feet up and you don’t know who’s over here. You’re here, you’ve got the wall and there’s some other people here.

WSJ: Yes.

Mr. Trump: If you don’t know who’s there, you’ve got a problem."

Hmm...a fence on the border....why does that sound so familiar. Oh wait, we already HAVE that. It appears the border patrol is telling the president we dont need a wall, we need what we already have.....its just Donnie Dumb Dumb doesnt realize that.....awkward. 

"WSJ: Well, the other day after your meeting when you talked about wanting to see a deal from Congress. In particular, I’m thinking of the tweets from Ann Coulter. You know, a straight—I mean, they want a wall. Do you feel that you have some room to negotiate here with your own base, when it comes to the wall?

Mr. Trump: I don’t have to because the wall is the same wall I’ve always talked about. I can understand why I have to have see-through.

WSJ: OK.

Mr. Trump: If I’m standing here, I want to be able to see 200 yards out. I want to be able to see, I don’t want to have a piece of concrete that I can’t see.

WSJ: Yes.

Mr. Trump: Now on the wall we have cameras and we have highly sophisticated equipment, but the wall—the Border Patrol tells me the other way’s more expensive. It’s not less expensive. We have to have vision through the wall.

WSJ: But…

Mr. Trump: This is going to be state of the art wall; this will be state of the art. But, I can fully understand why you’d have to have vision. I’d like to be able to see three or four hundred yards instead of we’re at a wall we have no idea who’s on the other side. Does this make sense or am I just wasting my time.

Hope Hicks: It’s what you’ve always talked; it’s consistent with what you’ve always said.

Mr. Trump: No, this is the same. I hope I don’t read tomorrow, Trump is going to make the wall, I always said, we need a wall.

WSJ: Yes.

Mr. Trump: I never said the wall’s going to be two thousand, but there are—there is a vast amount of territory where nobody comes through."

First, can we just take a moment to recognize that the WSJ interview appears to have literally just stopped trying to figure out what was being said here, and reverted to single words just to keep Trump talking?

Second "the Border Patrol tells me the other way’s more expensive. It’s not less expensive." That is generally how the concept of "more expensive" works...it is actually the opposite of "less expensive" saying as much is just redundant.

Third: "Does this make sense or am I just wasting my time." No it doesn't, and Yes you are.

 Forth: Hope Hicks: It’s what you’ve always talked; WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. If this was Trump speaking, I'd let this slide....after all the man's a moron and weve established complete sentences are beyond his ability.

But this is Hope Hicks,  the White House Director of Communications. Thats right the person at the White House who is literally in charge of communication is also apparently incapable of completing a sentence.

Is it actually possible that Donald Trump is actually SO stupid he's contagious? 

Fifth: "I hope I don’t read tomorrow, Trump is going to make the wall, I always said, we need a wall."No dummy, your actually in favor of the wall....so you actually DO want to read a headline saying you are going to make the wall (although the headline editor for that site or paper will be fired upon publishing it with that grammar).  You've just spend the better part of 10-12 paragraphs making that point.....

Ok so for this next bit, I have to give a previous question thats response on its own doesnt merit mention just to set up how badly bungled the response to the follow up is:

"WSJ: Is there a possibility that Donald Trump could sign a comprehensive immigration bill which would provide a path to legal status, citizenship for 11 million people who are here illegally?"

And now the follow up:

"WSJ: So when you say you have to have people, clearly there’s the 800,000 ‘Dreamers,’ but there’s also the larger group of people who are currently in the country…

Mr. Trump: That’s a different discussion.

WSJ: So, you said on Tuesday…

Mr. Trump: That’s comprehensive—well, if we could do that, that’s fine. I don’t know that that’s going to be possible.

There’s a lot of—there’s a lot of—there’s a big difference—first of all, there’s a big difference between DACA and Dreamers, OK?

Dreamers are different. And I want American kids to be Dreamers also, by the way. I want American kids to be Dreamers also.

But there’s a big difference between DACA and Dreamers. And a lot of times when I was with certain Democrats they kept using the word dreamer. I said, “Please, use the word DACA.” You know it’s a totally different word.

WSJ: Sure."

First: Hey look whos back to deciding its not worth trying to make sense out of this...the WSJ interviewer

Second: Dreamers are the people affected by DACA. This is a simple point to understand....apparently unless you are the president of the United States. 

Third: It appears the President doesnt actually know what the term Dreamer means...given that by its definition its kinda impossible for American kids to be Dreamers....as the very point of being a dreamer is that your a kid living here and not an American.

Forth: This is the best part of the entire article: "And a lot of times when I was with certain Democrats they kept using the word dreamer. I said, “Please, use the word DACA.” You know it’s a totally different word." because he probably DID say that to a lot of democrats....and he probably thought they were laughing WITH him too...

"Mr. Trump: OK, people think they’re interchangeable, but they’re not.

So—I—I think we have a very good chance of making a deal on DACA, I would like to be able to do it; I think that the people that are Trump supporters agree with me on it. I would never do it without a wall, the wall is the wall and it’s the same wall that we’re always talking about. It’s—you know, wherever we need, we don’t need it where you have mountains; you don’t need it where you have rivers and—you know, vicious rivers.

So—so we have sort of natural barriers.

WSJ: Barriers, yeah.

Mr. Trump: And, obviously, we never intended (inaudible)."

Oh shit....the presidents stuck on repeat...must be past his bedtime...you guys have to know by now you cant let him run for 30 minutes without a break...it taxes the poor dear. 

"WSJ: Just to be really clear, because I don’t want to have any misunderstanding.

Mr. Trump: Yeah, be really clear, I’d like to—because I love The Wall Street Journal. I hope that you guys are clear. OK.

WSJ: For sure.

When—on Tuesday you said that you supported the idea of signing comprehensive immigration reform…

Mr. Trump: No, no I support the idea of discussing it.

WSJ: OK."

I gotta tip my hat to the WSJ guy....he made one final attempt to have this make sense before finally throwing in the towel....

Though believe it or not...that wasnt the end of the interview...however the rest of it...well see for yourself (and for the record, this follows DIRECTLY from the previous quoted statement:

"Mr. Trump: And, maybe, it’s possible to get it. You know, that’s what I do, I make deals. Despite what you read with—by these people that don’t know me, that were never interviewed by—to me, you know.

White House official: But first we have to (inaudible).

(CROSSTALK)

Mr. Trump: The man with the three hour interview, he spent three hours—the man who said he spent three hours in the Oval Office who I never met once in the White House. OK, you know—despite all these characters that are—that’s something you can talk about, is the libel laws, because we’ve got to increase our libel laws so when people make misstatements, like yourselves, but when people make misstatements somebody has some, you know, recourse.

WSJ: Do you have a plan for that, Mr. President?
Mr. Trump: Yeah, I do, I would—I would say—I don’t know that I’ll be able to get it though—but I think that when somebody makes false statements and libelous statements, whether it’s in a book or a newspaper or anything else. When they have phony sources, when the sources don’t exist, yeah I think they should have a liability.

WSJ: Do you think Congress needs to make new libel laws?

Mr. Trump: I don’t know if Congress has the guts to do that.

WSJ: But do you want them to?

Mr. Trump: I would like to see that. Yeah, I’d like to be able to—look, nobody gets more false press than I do. Nobody—nobody gets—nobody comes close. In history—in the history of this country nobody’s gotten more false press and you guys all know it.

WSJ: Why—why do you think that is?

Mr. Trump: They dislike me, the liberal media dislikes me. I mean I watch people—I was always the best at what I did, I was the—I was, you know, I went to the—I went to the Wharton School of Finance, did well. I went out, I—I started in Brooklyn, in a Brooklyn office with my father, I became one of the most successful real-estate developers, one of the most successful business people. I created maybe the greatest brand.

I then go into, in addition to that, part-time, like five percent a week, I open up a television show. As you know, the Apprentice on many evenings was the number one show on all of television, a tremendous success. It went on for 12 years, a tremendous success. They wanted to sign me for another three years and I said, no, I can’t do that.

That’s one of the reasons NBC hates me so much. NBC hates me so much they wanted—they were desperate to sign me for—for three more years.

WSJ: Mr. President, you made reference to the book. Steve Bannon …

Mr. Trump: Just—and so—so I was successful, successful, successful. I was always the best athlete, people don’t know that. But I was successful at everything I ever did and then I run for president, first time—first time, not three times, not six times. I ran for president first time and lo and behold, I win. And then people say oh, is he a smart person? I’m smarter than all of them put together, but they can’t admit it. They had a bad year."

Any body else thing that book got under his skin just a LITTLE BIT? thats a solid 2 minutes of "Im the best at everything" 5 year old temper tantrum there too. And honestly the remaining bit of the article (which works out to about 2 1/2 pages when copied to word) is all they same style of Trump just ranting and the interviewer occasionally interjecting...but that rant does have a few interesting points (im jumping around a bit)

"Mr. Trump: I hope so. Hey, look, I got elected president. I won easily, 306 or 304, depending on your definition, to 223. I won a race that should never be won by a Republican because it’s so stacked in the Democrats’ favor. I mean, if you figure California, New York, and Illinois, you start off with losing that—you have to run the entire East Coast and every— and the entire Midwest.

I won an election that should never be won, because the Electoral College is far harder to win than the popular vote. The popular vote, for me, would have been much easier.

WSJ: But just to be clear, you’re not asking for them to shut those congressional investigations down?

Mr. Trump: No, I just want them to be tough, be strong. I also think that primary collusion, because there was no collusion on our side, the collusion was on the Democrat side with the Russians. And what went on with the FBI, where a man is tweeting to his lover that if she loses, we’ll essentially go back to the—we’ll go to the insurance policy, which is—if they lose, we’ll go to phase 2, and we’ll get this guy out of office.

I mean, this is the FBI we’re talking about. I think that is—that is treason. See, that’s treason right there.

WSJ: Does any of that make you less...

Mr. Trump: By the way, that’s a treasonous act. What he tweeted to his lover is a treasonous act."

The key bit here is right at the beginning before another decent into rambling madness.
"Hey, look, I got elected president. I won easily, 306 or 304, depending on your definition, to 223."

Your definition?  the votes were made over a year ago. And for the record, there is no dispute, the result was 304 to 227. Its odd that for something he apparently still sees as relevant, he cant remember the damn numbers....but telling to, that even though he won, he has to lie about how well the other person did by dropping a few votes and crediting himself a few extra.

"WSJ: Does any of that make you less likely or less inclined to testify before Mueller, or talk to Mueller’s people?

Mr. Trump: Look, there has never been in the history of this country an administration that, number one, did nothing wrong, and number two, was more open with a special counsel. We have—my lawyers are very good people. We made a decision right at the beginning. And it wasn’t their original idea. They figured, like, well, we’ll fight this (inaudible).

After they looked at all the letters, all the facts, every email, they saw nothing. They said, “We should be open.” There has never been a more— they said, “You never did anything wrong.” To be honest, they probably were surprised, OK? As most lawyers would be. They said, “You never did anything wrong.”

And they said, and I agree with them, “We should be upfront, give them a”—we gave them everything.

WSJ: So if asked if...

Mr. Trump: There has never been, in the history—in the history of an administration anybody that was more open than we were. You understand that?

WSJ: Yes."

You can tell Trump's getting cranky....note he basically scolds the reporter for Trump believing the reporter didnt believe his lie about being transparent.

Though, one interesting tidbit...Trump claims he gave Muller everything, which presumably includes his taxes....so I guess we will finally get to see those (hey what about the endless audit he used to pretend meant he couldnt do that?)

But this cant possibly end without one last major example of how little Donald Trump understands the world around him:

"WSJ: So you’re saying there was no obstruction, if Mueller asks you to come in and talk about it, would you—

(CROSSTALK)

Mr. Trump: Of course there was no obstruction—excuse me. Of course there was no obstruction. But there was no crime. So now they’re saying, could there be—now, I haven’t even heard that they’re looking at obstruct—I don’t know that they’re looking at obstruction."

See to the rest of the world, the reason Robert Mueller was appointed special prosecutor in the first place was to see if Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice or coordinated with Russia during the campaign. That is the very reason this investigation exists, no matter if Trump is guilty or innocent.

But Donald Trump is apparently too stupid to understand this, nor it seems can his lawyers get it through his skull.

Which to be fair, in the long run is great...it drastically increases the changes he bungles himself into an impeachment....unless his staff does the humane thing and uses the 25th amendment to out him fist....and after this interview...its getting harder and harder to not take that option.

Donald Trump starts to crack under pressure?

It appears the pressure might be getting to the president Donald Trump took to twitter today...and had a bit of a meltdown:


"Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence.........Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.........to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"

Please note the "...." were put in by POTUS at the areas between tweets. However even granting him that, the amount of flat out self delusion and derangement here is shocking.  Also lets not lose sight of the fact that this is more or less part of Trump's war with Steve Bannon, and is basically Trump trying to prove how not hurt he is by crying like a little bitch. 

Lets just go point by point



1)"Russian collusion, [...] total hoax on the American public."
See what the mentally deranged and detached president means by "total hoax" is 

4 aids, two senior level, indicted for crimes related to the Russian investigation

2 aids, one senior level, pleading guilty to said crimes.

1 USDA nomination rescinded due to the Russian investigation.

1 Ambassadorship dropped due to the Russian investigation.

1 Judaical Nominee removed due to connections to the Russian investigation

1 recusal by the Attorney General of the United States, due to being linked to the Russian investigation.

2 most likely individuals to face legal issues next, the Presidents son, and son in law.

And thats JUST looking at the legal aspects...not allegations made by former members of the Trump team (Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn) that would link both the President and the Vice President to part of the cover up.  

2) "the Democrats [...] are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence"

Yeah, heres the thing about that particular playbook.....the Democrats were right. Reagan had Alzheimer's.  Probably not the president you want to compare yourself too to prove how mentally stable you are....oh wait, maybe this was a secret cry for help?

Also, based on the timing, this tweet appears to be in response to the new tell-all book that was published based on interviews with members of Trump's administration...not democrats. But hey when you cant understand reality, concepts like "friend and foe" are a bit too complex. 

3)"Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart."

You know who, like, is, like, really really, like smart?

Thats why the Valley Girl sterotype has always and forever will denote high levels of intelligence. (Pssts, if Trump is capable of reading this, even after the big words are explained, you think he understands its sarcasm?)

3)"Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames." 

Down in flames in this case means "Won the popular vote, causing me, President Donald, Like Smart, Trump to form a voter fraud commission to investigate why people dont like me, which I just had to disband yesterday after every single state in the country wouldnt comply with its illegal demands. 

And now for the rapid fire round of bullshit|
4) "I went from VERY successful businessman"

Went bankrupt 6 times, to the point that American Banks refuse to loan him money....though thats fine because according to son Eric Trump in 2104 "Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.'"

5) "to a top T.V. Star"

By which he means 67th in the ratings for his final season, and his show lost 20% of its viewership after season 1,

6)"to President of the United States (on my first try)"

Incorrect. This was actually Trump's second official attempt to become president. He ran in 2000 as well, and won the reform party primaries in California and Michigan before dropping out.

7) "I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"

My rebut to this point? See 1-6.
