A really important aspect of Trump, on some ways the most central is that - at the sentence and propositional level - he doesnā€™t actually *say* anything. 90% of what he says is discursive, hedged, rhetorical questions, self-interruptions.

His Word Salad doesn't appease anyone's hunger

I contend 90% of what he says is ā€œthe most/best/highest/lowest [insert thing] everā€, which he says at least tens of times per speech/interview, his lying tick

yet we always know more or less what he means. even the ridiculous non sequitur stuff. that's his at essence talent actually, speaking nonsense that somehow also makes sense and speaks to the hearts of the weak with piercing clarity

This. Why anyone values anything he says is beyond me. His speech is just diarrhea of the mouth. Always.

Thatā€™s a big problem when youā€™re in opposition to him, because he doesnā€™t have any clearly stated positions, just a bunch of meandering self-contradictory rants filled with personal grievances. Which is why itā€™s easier to oppose because heā€™s mentally unfit and morally bankrupt rather than position

C'mon, we all know that people aren't eating bacon anymore because of their terrible energy. Stop covering up the truth about Trump's great insights.

He also understands virtually nothing about government policy, yet despite a decade of this you'd still somehow be hard pressed to grasp that from about 90% of press coverage about the man
