Welp, that aside of ISIS using the internet was incoherent
I wasn't watching. Is it his normal ISIS internet aside?
Usually it goes sort of like this:
"We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet and we have to do something. We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them, maybe in certain areas closing that Internet up in some way. Somebody will say, 'oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people… we've got to maybe do something with the Internet because they (ISIS) are recruiting by the thousands, they are leaving our country and then when they come back, we take them back."
Something like this. He said that they were on the internet in a way that shouldn't be allowed.
I'm betting that part about seeing Gates or someone who really understands didn't happen.
Because that would require Trump admitting that he doesn't understand something.

I mean, he just effectively stated that he thinks Bill Gates is in charge of the internet.
He's already admitted he has no idea what any of this means.

Bill Gates was not mentioned no.
I'll be honest, after it became clear this was Trumpter (as opposed to Unscripted Trump) I stopped listening very carefully. I can only override my cerebric defense mechanisms for so long.

WARNING: Do not listen directly to Trump with the naked ear. Even when Trump is partially eclipsed by a teleprompter, permanent brain damage can still result from prolonged exposure to stupidity of this magnitude. For your safety, observe Trump only through officially-approved filters.
Depressingly, the internet has confirmed you can buy tear gas canisters from "home defense" websites though they are quick to point out that it may not be legal to possess in your home state. Only 4 states outright block their purchase.
Its a day that ends in Y that I continually am amazed at the fact that we allow all the tools for domestic terrorism to be purchased freely and then wonder why we have such incidents....

Antifa? Back in my day we use ta just call em' BLM protesters. Well, I guess it's a might shorter, so that's alright.
"But that was two weeks ago, ArbitraryGrandpa!"
I really hope my grandkids just assume I've gone senile when I tell them people used to unironically use "antifacist" as a scary perjorative and were not laughed right out of town.
Well the KKK will likely (hopefully?) be correctly seen as a proto-fascist organization by then and that Trump and his supporters are the next wave of that

I think they're trying to get it like the Red Scare.
It makes me think of a (possibly apocryphal) story I heard about someone in Hollywood:
"I want [someone] fired, he's a communist!"
"Uh, he's an anti-communist."
"I don't care what kind of communist he is, I want him gone!"
Why would we care about that except to be outraged at the facists reveling in violence?

Child: Who are those guys laughing at that protester getting hit?
Parent: oh, those are American right wingers. They believe in a vaguely defined anti-globalism, are anti-immigration and anti-free trade. They think the federal government should only be involved in defense and immigration enforcement and regulation and law enforcement should be done on a local level if at all. They further believe in distributing military grade weaponry to the general population as a check on state power. Economically they believe in a broad, vast reduction of the role of the government in social services, economic regulation and stabilization, taxation, and generally have said they think the government should be small enough to drown in a bathtub.
Yeah Obama was famous for being a terrible orator.

Again, this is just incomprehensible to me. You are the incredibly rich corrupt and sexist president of the United States. If you want to communicate by tweet, at all hours of the day, hire yourself three tweet transcribers and have each of them follow you around 8 hours of the day. Whenever you want to tweet, you tell them what you want to say. They write it down, check the spelling and tweet it out. No more spelling errors or ten minute intertweet gaps.

Fun fact, Trump is violating the Presidential Records Act every time he deletes a tweet
I've been assuming that at this point somebody has set up some automated system that saves/prints his tweets for an actual government system instead of, y'know, Twitter's servers. And that this fulfills the record keeping requirements.
Not because I expect competency, but just because I'm cautious.

That would interfere with the process. From his Thumbs, to God's Ears.

That's a feature, not a bug for Trump.
That would require him to actually hire someone when he's left numerous major seats unfilled and, in the real world at least, pay them.

I'm inclined to agree with Charlie Brooker's theory that Twitter is simply the most popular and most destructive mobile phone game. It certainly feels like Trump is treating it as such.

Twitter "donated" their archive to the Library of Congress. So it is recorded there. LC was "thrilled" to receive it.

I do find it fascinating that people who oppose antifa are cheering at right-wing violence being perpetrated by the state in order to counter peaceful assembly. And by "fascinating", I mean "blindingly obvious".

Edit: hah, and then deletes the tweets when it's pointed out he never uses autocorrect.
Just another reason to use the real press secretary bot:

The whole teleprompter nonsense, and saying he um's and ah's too much when thinking while speaking.
Ironic considering one of the most famous orators from around their generation was MLK.
