Trump couldn't even look her in the eye. Guess he cant stand to look at an actual leader
All of these interviews remind me of what students do when they don't know the answer to an essay question, so they fill 1000 words with Bullshit. He's literally bullshitting on the fly all the time when the question is directly addressing him and his actions.
And remember, according to that ABC poll 96% of people that voted for him are happy they did. I think people enjoy all these clear flaws. Intelligence can be seen as "uppity" to certain communities, and people like seeing a bullshitter at the top rather than someone that thinks they are smarter and better than you

What's so hard to understand? He said he'll be the greatest in the history of, but you know what, that you could be he takes it also. But he said will be the greatest president but he would also accept the other.
So obviously if he does his job, but he accepts that. Then he watched him interviewed and it's like he never even was here. He watched him interviewed a week later and it's like he never was in the office.
And of course you can even say that.
I mean, it's not rocket science.
By the way, has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Some of you are getting really good at this. May your new found Art of the Deal skills allow you to fail upward in life. Maybe you can be President too!

As someone who did this through most all of school? No way. You at least need to know the general context of the class, sort of what's being asked, and what everyone else in class has said. Then you can formulate an opinion right there and pretend like it's actually your's.
I out debated people who had painstaking read old English with the skimming I did on sparknotes as I walked to class.
Frankly, I'm insulted by his presidency. In a country that is continuing to devalue education and lower standards, our president cannot answer fucking simple questions.
I'm not even talking about the alphabet soup slipping from his pursed lips, I'm talking "the motherfucker didn't answer a single question"
Not like Betsy Devos sidestepping: that frustration takes skill. He just can't. No one who actually knows what's happening in the workplace they're in charge of would answer questions like this.
If he did, he'd know what issues to sidestep and what parts of policy to emphasize to cover his weakness with other, but he cant. The guy can't even bullshit an answer and the rest of the government is cool with keeping him in there despite blatantly having buisiness ties because he hasn't nuked anyone yet.
Our cool government. Thanks for putting microphones in my power strips for this.

Trump talk:
Feels more down to earth and flawed like them
The only Trump supporter I know isn't the smartest person. He kept saying "I think he'll be good for the country" without ever elaborating on why and as far as I know stopped watching the news again after the election, not that he watched much during. He has no idea what's going on and if you try to tell him he shrugs and acts like it's not worth talking about. He doesn't know that Trump said these words and doesn't care.
And do the people who get all of their news from Fox even know he said any of these words, or see most of his stupid shit without someone there to explain to them why it's good?

He can't even read off a fucking teleprompter without going off-script and saying stupid shit.
He'll start reading the script and then it's as if an idea or correlation suddenly pops into his head, and he thinks, "OH YEA! I'll MENTION THAT in SOME HALF-ASSED WAY, WITH NO SEGUE AND NO CONTEXT, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY AWFUL SPEECH!!! THOSE YAHOOS WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A GUY WORKING ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE WITH A LUNCH PAIL AND A HARD HAT - THOSE GUYS LOVE ME!! THEY LOVE MY TOUGH-GUY TALK! OH, YEA - THROW HER IN JAIL!!!"
It's so nauseating.

man of the people, not preaching from his exalted perch in long winded patronizing diatribes punctuated with uhhhhhs and ummmmms. if you can somehow remove the rose colorded glasses of elitism affixed to your faces then its reather easy to see how trump won and continues to win.

The man can barely speak coherently. If observing that is elitist, pass me the Rothschild Lafite 1908.

Wow...As a mathematician currently working in the US (not citizen yet), I am seriously considering moving to Canada, if you guys continue to vote this inept person for another 4 years.
I almost feel the greatest country on the planet earth is really really anti-intellectual, and somehow many persons are proud to be anti-intellectual.

lol ok
lol. Perfect.
Wanting the leader of the free world to be able to string together sentences is now elitism.
If anyone has this algorithm, it's the SNL writing team.

How would you know if it's broken or working?
I've never heard anyone in my life speak as incoherently as he does. It's like there are synapse gaps, or corrupted memory files in his brain that cause random words to mix in with whatever he's trying to say. His brain just grabs any association it can, and then lashes it together and out it goes. It's really fucking bizarre.
This has to be some kind of degenerative mental condition. His brain doesn't work.

If it's broken, it's working. If the resulting sentences make sense, it's not.

Listening to this guy speak is going to give me a brain aneurysm. I recognize the words as English but they dont come together as coherent thoughts.

Donald Trump Is Unintelligible to liberals because they don't understand common sense.

Fuck I really wish there was audio.
I sometimes watch Anderson Cooper because I want to get angry. The last segment he does every night where a field reporter talks to Trump supporters all around the US is almost compelling enough to want to make you put a shotgun to your face.

The most charitable description I can give of this interview is that he sounds like a student who didn't do a bit of assigned reading the entire semester giving an oral exam. Or a wholly unqualified person in a job interview completely outside their field. Just random bouts of words meant to fill the space in which an "I don't know" would be a more acceptable answer.
I don't think he's done his homework. And that's being generous.

Coke is a hell of a thing
The transcript is bonkers. Such a disgrace to have to talk to this man about anything of substance.
And can intelligent interviewers stop "leading the witness?" I feel like these guys are throwing Trump an oar sometimes by giving him words and responses in the form of follow-ups or when simplifying their questions for his brain solely in order to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING to print or quote. They touch on a trigger and then he rattles on his word salad for a while. Example:

Don't Trump supporters get dizzy with the amount of spin they do?
That's what he always sounds like when you ask him about a topic. He answers like a student who didn't do the homework, but has to write 4-6 sentences about the subject.

So Trump is a highly elaborate Turing Test?

Of course he's always sounded like that, but it seems to be getting worse. As though the stress of actually assuming the presidency is exacerbating his deficiencies.
