17. "I did a great thing for the American people by firing him."

Thus begins the James Comey section of the interview. Buckle up.

18. "So the special counsel -- and by the way, and Intelligence Committee and everybody else has found no collusion. There's no collusion with me and the Russians."

NO COLLUSION! NO COLLUSION!

19. "You can ask President Putin about that. There's been nobody."

Trump is advising reporters to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin who has been the toughest on Russia. So, put that on the list of questions, I guess.

20. "So there's no collusion whatsoever."

So, there is or is not collusion? I'm fuzzy on that point.

21. "Those memos were about me and they're phony memos. He didn't write those memos accurately. He put a lot of phony stuff."

This is a serious charge. Because Comey recounted much of what was in the memos in his sworn testimony in front of Congress. So Trump is saying Comey lied to Congress.

22. "He does these memos and then fake news CNN who's a total fake -- you know, they give Hillary Clinton the questions to the debate and nobody -- can you imagine, by the way, if you gave me the questions to a debate?"

The non sequitors here are truly mind-boggling.

"Go ask Sean Hannity, nobody asks Sean Hannity!"

He was frantically ranting and rambling in a frenzied voice

It was unnerving to listen

Shovel meet hole.

43. "You know, one of the reasons people say you're still looking good, Mr. President. How do you do it?"
Nothing triggered this observation. it came totally out of the blue. One minute Trump was talking about how he doesn't/does watch CNN. The next sentence? Many people say he is looking good.

Who the hell thinks he looks good other than himself? I was howling with laughter at that.

he wins again

The commentary was funny and helpful, but still, knowing the person who talks like this is the POTUS I had to stop.
