whether he's actually answering the questions or why he's not doing voice interviews.

Overall, the piece is pretty silly and fanciful, since we see Trump on teevee blathering stupidly every day. That said, it's also good to point out Jake Tapper's usual clownish hypocrisy, since he's gone all in on lack of transparency about Biden but is perfectly OK with an arguably dubious text interview with Trump.

Takeaway: Jake Tapper, still a MAGA dipshit.
