I am going to attach a link to this blog that really ought to stand alone, with little — if any — comment from yours truly.<\/p>\n

It’s the transcript of an Associated Press interview conducted with Donald J. Trump, the nation’s 45th president.<\/p>\n

One comment has jumped out and received considerable media attention already. It’s the part where the president talks about his ratings on CBS News’ talk show, “Face the Nation,” and how his appearance on the show boosted the ratings to a place not seen since the 9\/11 terror attacks.<\/p>\n

Narcissism, anyone? Hmmm?<\/p>\n

Beyond that, if you read the entire transcript, perhaps you might draw the same conclusion that I have drawn, which is this individual cannot communicate. He cannot focus. He cannot think clearly and express himself concisely.<\/p>\n

Here’s the interview.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s full of sentence fragments, stream-of-consciousness riffs and rants, and an amazing lack of empathy or compassion.<\/p>\n

I am left to ask: Is this how one “tells it like it is”?<\/p>\n\n
