He has no clue what is going on.
Q: Why are you upset about NATO allies holding military exercises in Greenland?
TRUMP: Well, that wasn't a military-- they sent a few people. They say they sent them not for me but to guard against Russia. It's going to be a very interesting Davos.

They should have asked him her name. He has no idea who she is.
REPORTER: Can you speak to your letter you wrote to the prime minster saying the Nobel Prize influenced your thinking on Greenland?
TRUMP: I don't care about the Nobel Prize. First of all, a very fine woman felt that I deserved it and really wanted me to have the Nobel Prize, and I appreciate that.

I don’t follow college football much but enjoyed the game tonight, as much as anything from watching Curt Cignetti absolutely REFUSE to experience a moment of joy or even mild relief. Maybe a 2-second smile-like thing on his mug when they won? But then right back to We All Die Alone and Angry face.

And all I can think about is how we at UNC got stuck with a $10 million dollar jackass of a loser coach while Indiana goes from worst to first overnight.

Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

Don’t let them distract you. Trump promised lower costs – we just saw the highest grocery inflation in years.
He doesn’t care about your costs.

"When it comes time to produce something vaguely resembling a policy blueprint, Trump steps aside & the right-wing ideologues who surround him take over. His only job is to record a brief video, try to stay awake through a White House event on the subject, & then go back to not talking about it."
Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke
He can barely bring himself to pretend he cares.

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

It's even deeper, if Weiss thinks news is about a "contest of ideas." She's wedded to a culture wars construct - "whose worldview is right?" - that's utterly wrong for reporting on factual events. It means she can't have CBS judge what is true. They can only describe disputes about what is true.
