We can only hope to have a concept of an understanding of his weave.
It is his curse to have climbed so high the rest of us can't really see him.
He must be a lonely man.

(25,808 posts)He's a con man extraordinaire whose fraudulent product is himself. Say what you like, his idiotic schemes have flamed out many times before, both famously and publicly, yet he still got his ass elected to the presidency. That takes talent and determination. He stands a chance to do it again, despite a lack of any positively-oriented character traits. Watch out for TSF, he's extremely dangerous, and his running mate is a vicious piece of work too.
We tend to mock and point and laugh at TSF's word salads and mumbling rambling pointless "weaves", but his true believers come away from his rantapaloozas feeling like they understood exactly what he meant. For them, every word is laden with meaning.
Don't confuse his lack of content for a lack of style.

(35,341 posts)He talks like he's a commoner....I think he kinda plays it up too. He's getting older and not as articulate as someone younger. Might as well play it up and babble instead of force himself to be more articulate.

(790 posts)Which would, of course, just end up as another ingredient in "all of the above".
It's important to remember how vital an element threats are to Trump's unhinged rhetoric. He excites and incites his base by threatening the people they hate, and he keeps the Republican party in line by threatening anyone who gets out of line.

(7,867 posts)where, with several beers consumed, we proceeded to solve all the world problems in an hour's time, like bomb them back to the stone age, nuke Iran until it is a piece of glass, have a new continental congress, and at one time discussing that cats are not native to this world.
The difference is, we would go home, sleep, pee our 'processed' beer, try to rid ourselves of a hangover, if necessary, and go through the next day as normal and productive human beings.
We had an excuse, like alcohol speaking for us. What is his excuse? adderall? cocaine? chronic racism/misogyny/bullying? Character flaws? All of the mentioned?
