Trump dissembling in remarks on 'the Strait'

...this is bizarre. He's immediately contradicting each and everything he asserts.

Headquarters @HQNewsNow
Trump: The Strait will open up automatically. We'll open the Strait anyway. We don't use the Strait. It won't be easy. We will have that open fairly soon. You don't need a back up plan

Headquarters @HQNewsNow
Q: You're not gonna let them toll the Strait, are you?

Trump: No, we're not gonna let that. If they're doing that, nobody knows if they're doing that

When the pieces are small enough, they'll just naturally blow away.

"It actually curves, but we don't need it, we could tear it down and replace it with a straighter one, if we needed it"

He's insane

The business school there carries the name Wharton, but only somebody as disreputable as him would say they went to Wharton for a bachelor's degree.
Saying one got their b-school degree from Wharton implies an MBA or and MS (or PhD) in Econ.
It's like Northwestern. People who got a BS or BA in Business Administration from there say Northwestern. MBAs say Kellogg.
Kellogg is on the building, but if you don't have the advanced degree, you don't claim you went to Kellogg.

Trump: No, we're not gonna let them, if they're doing that? Nobody knows if they're doing that.

It's almost sane, with different punctuation and one word change.

This is somewhat low on the crazy scale for Trump actually
