    “Among the bizarre topics Trump discussed was his empathy for former producer Harvey Weinstein, saying that he was treated badly after being found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault in New York.”

    From the clip it’s hard to get context, but it sounds more like he was saying things that were too crazy for his handlers.

      Article says “‘They’re going crazy,’ Trump said, pointing off camera.” Which I think further strengthens your argument.

        They were desperately trying to get him to not defend Weinstein. Probably trying to avoid him lighting the fuse on his own October surprise

      This is a narcissistic and delusional old man who has never really participated in society as a normal human being. When he says “they”, he literally thinks there is a shadow group of people doing this. The fact that someone rich got caught committing crimes and was found guilty by “normies” is all just a part of the shadow group’s plan to allow such things to happen. He literally believes “they” could have stopped that from happening IF they wanted to, but decided not to.

      I’m shocked you didn’t clip the quote where he claimed Weinstein got “schlonged.”

      lol what the fuck. I’m on set and we’re rolling sound and I almost burst out laughing when I read that line
