25th Amendment watch

Just a little bit o’ cray-cray.
Here’s a new example via CNN’s Daniel Dale. Bloomberg published the text of Trump’s remarks last week to US diplomats and invited guests in NYC. In his remarks, Trump claimed the media buried the news of GOP candidate Dan Bishop’s special election victory last month:
“In fact, the whole night, CNN, who had built the most beautiful, $2 million maybe they spent — no wonder they’re losing their ass. They have no ratings and they’re building studios all over the place but they had a studio, the studio was going to stay up for weeks and toward the end of the night they were taking it down. Their so-called stars were leaving. They had stars. There’s not many stars, I’ll tell you, less than 10. But they were taking—the stars were leaving. And, uh, they didn’t want to report it. But the candidate, Dan Bishop, won—by a lot.”
Bishop only won by 2 points, but here’s the bigger point: CNN never built a studio for NC-9 coverage. None of the other networks did either. The claim is nonsensical. And yet he went into great detail about something that never happened.
This is pathological. It’s sick.
