Quote for the Day:

As we have seen repeatedly in this book, Donald Trump has great trouble thinking straight. The problem is so severe that he often cannot control his thinking when he is making formal statements. His train of thought goes zip-zap-zup all over the place. Joe Biden, in comparison, occasionally misremembers names and his syntax can be worse than Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa. But when he gets up after he has stumbled, he does express himself clearly. Trump often cannot do that, because usually there is no “clear” there.
