NEW: TIME publishes interview with Trump.
This is a REAL section of the transcript.
It is impossible to read this and not conclude that Trump is suffering profound, cognitive decay.

60% of America's top AI companies were founded by immigrants.
Of those, over 70% first arrived here on student visas.
Put those two facts together: The US Administration's war on foreign students will kneecap our global leadership in tech, and thus our future prosperity.

There are few people who have demonstrated a stronger belief in executive power than John Yoo. And he argues Trump has gone too far.
You know that Trump has truly gone off the rails when John Yoo, of 2002 Torture Memos infamy, declares his administration’s treatment of aliens unlawful.
Yoo was the key legal mind behind America’s use of torture at Guantanamo & Abu Ghraib. Even he calls Trump’s treatment of foreigners unlawful.

It’s like a guy bringing his mistress to dinner with his wife, flirting shamelessly, then saying, “Come on—if I were cheating, would I be this obvious?” And the wife is just sitting there dumbfounded and humiliated.
And I still think that, in being so openly corrupt, Trump has managed to completely short-circuit the normal operations of US media. There’s nothing to investigate, no hidden chain to uncover, just the President asking people to give him money for his own personal gain.

As a Latin American who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, I know authoritarianism. But after 3 years in the US, and with all we know about democratic backsliding, I never expected to see this here. The most chilling part is how quickly the people and institutions meant to protect democracy are folding.

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

First they came for the Palestinian protesters, and I did not speak out because I was not a Palestinian protester…
Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
