The 3 most perplexing things Trump said in a confounding CNBC interview this morning

President Trump on Monday called into CNBC's Squawk Box, and he sure had a lot to say; it just wasn't always easy to follow his train of thought. Here are three standout moments from what was, at times, a confounding interview.

Pivot — Trump was asked if tech giants like Facebook, Apple, and Google should be broken up, but he never really answered. Instead, he let everyone know about how social media companies have treated him unfairly, even colluding with the Democrats to try to defeat him in the 2016 election. He then transitioned into talking about India's tax on Harley Davidson imports.

Lawsuits — Trump did eventually get around to saying that he thinks there's "something going on in terms of monopoly," but another issue, in his mind, is that the European Union is the entity suing these tech firms, not the U.S. "[The EU] is attacking our companies," he said. "But we should be doing what they're doing."
