During a panel segment on Thursday's 'Morning Joe' on MSNBC, co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Jim VandeHei of Axios about comments the president made in an upcoming interview about his supporters demanding harsh rhetoric against the mainstream media, and related something the president told her when they were still on speaking terms:
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: "...He basically admitted to us that he doesn't read. He can't read. He takes things in mostly through hearing it, through watching it, through listening to it, through being a part of it. He has a command of playing the media. That is his sweet spot. That is exactly where he's comfortable because he can use evil ways of manipulating people's thoughts, their beliefs and tapping into racism with his command of the media."

Of course we aren't dogs and some of us, instead, after enough of this just want to ring the next prog's neck so that we don't have to listen to it all anymore, so that the constant jangle and discomfort from the cognitive dissonance stops - so that OUR heads stop hurting from the constant noise the refrain that this does not compute, does not make sense.
The problem is that you cannot disconnect the brain from reality entirely. You have to eat, and there is a some minimal level of cognition required whether your meal comes from a teat or you have to do the computation that you need to go to the store to buy food because the freezer is empty of microwavable meals, or even just the reality of opening the freezer, unwrapping a packet, putting it in the microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds, putting it on a plate, not eating it while it is steaming hot, etc.
Once you have the cognition required to execute those thought patterns, other inconsistencies with reality will cause the brain to jangle.
Unless you are a prog political commentator who has discovered that meals at swank restaurants come from jumbling the right nonsense words together in a statement combining Trump, violence, racism, and right wing hate speech.
There is another self-preserving response to such nonsense, however. When things stop making sense, when they become too painful, the brain is conditioned to turn it off and tune it out.
Haven’t you gotten the word? All Republican Presidents are either morons or, when they clearly aren’t, are EVIL.
All Democrat Presidents - and their wives - are so smart that they are on the verge of winning simultaneous Nobel Prizes in every category, and on top of that are also candidates for sainthood.
Just ask the Dems and their water-carriers in the media, they’ll tell you.
How can these mental midgets get paid millions for spewing this nonsense?
She is so good at explaining President Trump that it is almost as though she knows all the manipulating secrets and perhaps this is a clear case of “TRANSFERENCE” and now we know how SHE operates.
Perfect analysis.
Trump is in her head. Dialing up the crazy to an 11. What fun!!
Mika gives hope to all functionally retarded thinkers. You can get a job and earn money.
Too bad Trump can’t actually do what Mika suggests. Then there would be no Democrats, etal, only GOP. Song time: Imagine they’re no Democrats, etal, it’s easy if you try....
Orangeman - He is everywhere and no where at the same time. That is his super power. Lol.
Projection here too. Admitting they are under mind control, but projecting the controller onto their enemy. I have seen evidence that language itself can control these sociopaths. They are very easy to manipulate. So who is controlling them ? Where is that church lady when you need her....lol
There wouldn't be those either. Some improved evolved form of human political animal that has a spine, can think for itself and isn't totally venal, lazy and corrupt. Maybe even has some loyalty to the People of the country that supports and protects him.
I vividly remember "An amiable dupe." Their snobbery was evident even then.
