The full transcript of Donald Trump’s response to this question is simply extraordinary
Watching a Donald Trump interview is one thing, but sometimes it’s only when you read the transcript that the full, overwhelming … Trumpery of it sinks in.
And this exchange, in which he is asked about the low trust in police among Africa-Americans in the wake of the death in police custody of George Floyd, is an extraordinary example of that.
‘Trump’s was asked how to address the problem of low trust in the police among African Americans. Here’s the transcript of his response,’ said CNN reporter Daniel Dale – or @ddale8 – on Twitter.
READ IN FULL!
And just some of the things people were saying about it.
Every American should read this.
He’s asked twice, by a cupcake interviewer, what we should do about policing reform. And he can’t get within 1000 miles of an answer. He literally doesn’t understand the question. https://t.co/puPTz3Ygas

If you had a relative who was this incoherent, you’d try to take him straightaway to the nearest neurologist.

Even by Trump's standards this is astoundingly incoherent. https://t.co/JgyGAo8WAH
