Overall, this is a pretty rambling interview that doesn't say much new, and the most interesting revelation may be from the very first sentence: Trump ordered the government to declassify information he apparently hasn’t read. It sounds to have been largely motivated by Fox commentators repeatedly calling for it to happen (even though, of course, they haven't read it either).
Other than that, I think it'll probably just lead to a bunch of other outlets pulling some weird quotes out and making noise about them. I saw various articles already yesterday about the "I don’t have an attorney general" quote, and I'm sure there will be a lot more around a few different things from this section:
So, it’s hard to bring everyone together unless there’s a, maybe very large national problem, which we don’t want. Maybe that brings people together, like it did for about a day with the World Trade Center, you know.
And by the way the worst single mistake ever made in the history of our country — going into the Middle East by President Bush. Obama may have gotten ‘em out wrong, but going in is to me the biggest single mistake made in the history of our country. Because we spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. Now if you wanna fix a window some place they say, “oh jee, let’s not do it. $7 trillion and millions of lives — you know, ‘cause I like to count both sides. Millions of lives.
To me is the worst single mistake made in the history of our country. Civil war you can understand. Civil war, civil war. That’s different. For us to have gone into the Middle East, and that was just, that was a bad day for this country, I will tell you.
I have a hard time discerning any meaning and substance from what the president is saying. He says words and makes references to events, but he starts a new idea before completely forming the last...

I could point out that this applies to anything he ever said but why even bother at this point... This guy managed to make use get bored of being baffled. That's his entire strategy.

I don’t disagree. I can’t listen to him let alone try to read through a paragraph of his words. Maybe he’s just stupid. Then again, maybe that’s part of his strategy too. Nobody suspected Doofy in...

Honestly he kind of has a point here, the media keeps flipflopping and it just ends up discrediting them. It's kind of sad to see how concerned he is with his legacy, he knows what people think of...
(…) they’ve tried all different narratives. They’ve tried that, they tried, ‘he’s a dictator, he’s a fascist.’ One of them did, one of them did, ‘he’s losing it,’ and the next week they went into, ‘He’s the most brilliant mind. He’s taking over the country. He’s a fascist, he’s a dictator, and he’s gonna make the eight years into life.’ OK.
I said wait a minute, last week, I was incompetent and now, I’m, you know, taking over the world. OK? It’s incredible. It’s sick. (…)

(…) I said that the other, you know I have 145 [federal judges], plus hopefully two Supreme Court judges. And that’s assuming nobody leaves the bench which they will over the next period of time. It’ll be number one. I outta say, "Who has highest percentage of federal judges." They say, "you do." I’ll say "no, no. I got killed." They said "who? George Washington because he appointed a hundred percent of the judges." (…)
It's kind of sad to see how concerned he is with his legacy, he knows what people think of him and it's really bothering him. I don't know what history will make of him.
