After a full day of ranting about things the president claims are untrue being printed, the transcript of an interview Trump gave to the conservative blog site, The Daily Caller, was released online and was chock full of insane allegations against everyone who’s ever said anything bad about him.

One of the craziest claims from Trump was around the Russia investigation, which is no surprise. He began with one of his nonsense rants about why the investigation is “illegal” and it only got more bizarre from there.

‘I view it as an illegal investigation. It should’ve never been started. It should’ve never been allowed to start. You know, I’m not the target of this investigation, just in case you don’t realize. But I view it as being illegal for many reasons. Some of which are that, number one there was no crime and number two everybody was conflicted, including Mueller. There were, I mean tremendous conflicts here, you know the conflicts, you’ve heard the conflicts.’

None of that was new, but when the interviewer pressed Trump to describe those conflicts, it got weird. He first mentioned interviewing Special Counsel Robert Mueller for the position of FBI director after Comey’s firing, but went on to mention that golf fees Mueller has lain in wait to get revenge over for a couple of decades and then shifted to compromising photos.

He was talking about photos of James Comey and Robert Mueller. Seriously.

‘But I had a business dispute with Mueller before that. I had a real business dispute. And he’s Comey’s best friend. And I could give you 100 pictures of him and Comey hugging and kissing each other. You know, he’s Comey’s best friend. How can you possibly have a man who is that, and then somebody from his law firm came out and said, ‘I can’t believe they picked Mueller. He hates the president. He hates the president.’ So that’s four things, that’s four, then you have the conflicts of the people — you know I call them the 17 angry Democrats, I guess they’re being lowered down now. It’s incredible when you look at Weissman and all these people. Some of the people work for the Hillary Clinton foundation. It’s an incredible thing. Honestly, people are very angry about it. People that love our country are very angry about it. So, I consider it to be an illegal investigation. It should’ve never been allowed to have happened.’

No one is “angry” about this other than President Trump. No one has ever mentioned photos of Comey and Mueller kissing. His supporters will now be convinced that this is true, because of course they will.

Trump accomplished two things with his interview: he convinced his rabid fanbase of yet another insane conspiracy theory and gave legitimacy to yet another racist, sexist, xenophobic group of “reporters” tied to white supremacy.
