President Trump has devised more than one way to give an interview that makes you fear for the future of your country. This weekend, he responded to Maria Bartiromo's softballs on Fox Business by babbling incoherently about policy he's never really even pretended to understand. But Wednesday afternoon, he went with a more direct approach: Standing on the White House lawn with Marine One running in the background, he yelled at those assembled about how smart he was, how he went to an Ivy League school, and how he has "one of the great memories of all time."

To recap, here are some of the things the President of the United States—the world's most powerful man—said in one sitting yesterday:

On the Republican "unity" lunch: "I called it a lovefest. It was almost a lovefest. Maybe it was a lovefest." (The president tweeted three different times that Republican senators gave him "standing ovations." As Colbert pointed out, "you're the president. They have to stand up when you walk in the room.")

"I'm very high in Arizona."

"I certainly respect La David—he, who, by the way, I called La David from the beginning. Just so you understand, they put a chart, in front—La David. Says La David Johnson. So I called—right from the beginning, there was no hesitation."

"I have one of the great memories of all time," he said, while pointing to his brain.

"I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am. You know, people don't understand. I was a nice student...I went to an Ivy League college. I did very well. I'm a very intelligent person."

God help us.
