Donald Trump Admits He 'Often' Retweets Without Thinking in Barstool Sports Interview

Donald Trump got just about as introspective as he’s capable of getting during an interview with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy this week at the White House.

The interview included such hard-hitting questions as “Do you love doing Twitter?”

“There are times when I love it,” Trump said with a smile. “Too much sometimes, right?” After getting his social-media guru Dan Scavino to confirm his current total number of followers, the president boasted about his “very big voice” in the face of “fake news,” adding, “It’s been very important for me.”

Then Portnoy, who made sure to point out that his nickname is “El Presidente,” asked if the actual president ever tweets something out and then wakes up the next day and thinks, “Aw man, I wish I didn’t send that one out.”

“Often,” Trump replied. “Too often.” He then went on to explain that “in the old days,” people would write a letter and then put it in a drawer and decide the next day if they actually wanted to mail it. “But we don’t do that with Twitter,” he said. “We put it out instantaneously, we feel great, and then you start getting phone calls.”

I'm sure he does a lot of things without thinking.

if they did an interview with Barstool Fucking Sports... Jesus Christ, you might as well go on the Joe Rogan show, or maybe Jim Bakker's grift-fest. What a ridiculous waste of time for any person with any modicum of dignity. But therein lies the issue, of course.
