Axelrod on the latest NYT Trump interview: "There is a whole lot of nutty in this interview..."

David Axelrod's tweet:




There is a whole lot of nutty in this interview that should be cause for concern. But on the main point, he’s just wrong. In our country, no one—even the @POTUS—is above the law, and that makes America look very, very GOOD.



And this, from John Aravosis of AMERICAblog:




Trump told the NYT today that virtually every Democrat has exonerated him in the Russia probe. I’m starting to think he actually believes what he says, which is a far worse scenario than Trump simply being a pathological liar. He’s nuts.

a lot like a spoiled toddler.

They tell him whatever keeps him calm enough to handle. They've told him he has broken the record for the most legislation passed in his first year, and he believes it because it fits his self-aggrandizing narrative. They tell him the Dems exonerate him and Mueller will soon do so publicly, and that keeps him tractable.

He's a blithering idiot.

I have to say - I think my worst fears may in fact be true. Trump isn't guilty of collusion because he's totally clueless. Maybe those around are deeply guilty but I'm beginning to think he is honestly stupid enough to not realize what was happening.

The guy should be removed on 25th Amendment grounds. It is really a sad day for our country that this has happened. That we have fallen into this stupid Orange hole.

When Trump's yammering on about "every Democrat," could just one of you overpaid blow-dried journalists ask him to NAME JUST ONE Democrat who's saying that there is no collusion. Or ask him to NAME JUST ONE congressman who's been unbelievable in pointing out what a witch hunt the whole thing is.

I realize I'm just some guy with an internet connection and not a highly paid professional journalist, but can you ask this fucking imbecile to back up JUST ONE of his lies?

be removed, I don't know how since the GOP is kissing his ass for the tax heist. He is really delusional and Joy just said he thinks he is on a show.

His base can go to hell too, what his big base of what 36%???

the media made trump and is obsessed with him 24/7, I am afraid no one can get any meaningful coverage once he doubles down on controversies to dominate each and every headline every single day during the election season.

There is only one effective weapon against trump is for most media to stop covering trump completely as if he doesn’t exist and focus on other candidates. This will destroy him.
