Trump spokesman angry at fact

On CNN, host Brianna Keilar asked Trump spokesman Michael Cohen about his candidate’s sinking poll numbers. “Says who?” he demands.

Keilar: You guys are down, and it makes sense that there would—

Cohen: Says who?

Keilar: Polls. Most of them. All of them?

Cohen: Says who?

Keilar: Polls. I just told you. I answered your question.

Cohen: OK. Which polls?

Keilar: All of them.

It’s not so much the words as the delivery: the dead, resentful air, the way stating an unremakable fact seems like a devastating put-down.

This exchange sums up Trumpkins in general. There’s no mental agility, no cleverness or patter. They’re witless. So blunt it catches you off your stride, but only for a moment. The witlessness applies to everything, from interactions on cable TV to comment-section rants to the subreddit humor—especially the humor!

Let’s see what Breitbart can salvage, now it’s the official campaign organ.
