HE NEVER RECORDED.

For a second to two he was "normal" but then he would say the craziest things ever.

Trump's speaking and tweets remind me of a book we had to read in high school...I think it was James Joyce: ULYSEES (sp?)....

It was horrible reading, sort of like free association in Psychiatry...........continuous incoherent blabbering.....
incoherent and irrational parts of thoughts........

Wow. That's cruel and unusual punishment for such young minds!

But for "horrible reading, sort of like free association in Psychiatry...........continuous incoherent blabbering.....
incoherent and irrational parts of thoughts... ," try Finnegans Wake!

I agree it's "horrible reading," and I'm an ex English teacher. Same goes for "Finnegan's Wake." I've always thought that James Joyce pulled off a couple of "fast ones" on literary critics. To give him credit, however, they must have been agonizing to construct.
