To me, the most telling line in either of the Trump interviews is this one to Dickerson: “I have my own opinions. You can have your own opinions.” What Trump is doing here is conflating opinions with facts. The facts do not come close to bearing out his claims on surveillance. But, if you make opinion and fact synonymous you can do or say whatever you want because, in the immortal words of Jeffrey Lebowski, “yeah, well, that’s just like your opinion, man.”
Opinions, of course, aren’t facts. The problem is that Trump doesn’t know or doesn’t care about that. And his supporters believe whatever he tells them to believe. Which means we are in a post-fact political world. And that is scary as hell.
That was the final part of the article. The rest is worth reading to as it gets into a couple of Trump’s insane answers to interviews over the weekend.
Here is the clip of that walkout…

The quotes around the word “difficulties” are yuge.
The reporter was being rather obnoxious though, repeating himself while grinning like that.
