Trump always sounds like he makes it up on the fly.

[madaboutharry]

Watching this news conference on CNN right now, it seems like he just says whatever comes to mind without having given any serious thought to what he is saying. His language is Palinesque and unsophisticated. Rumors are facts. He makes simple statements "They'll be gone so fast, your head will spin." "I'm a builder, I know how to make a fence." "Bush is incompetant, he can't do it." "I'm a great manager, I want to get good people back in." "Hopefully they (the good Mexicans) will come back very soon."

He talks like a middle schooler.

1. He's never established any basic fact to hold up to his beliefs

If you confront him with a fact counter to his beliefs he calls you an idiot. F' him. He's a horrible human being.

2. I think it's "stream of consciousness babble' Truly...the lizard brain without the interceding

of the cerebral cortex.

3. it's because he doesn't care

accuracy? fuck that noise
source reliability? fuck that noise too
honesty? you losers don't deserve it

candidate Trump is all about truthiness, and since he's completely unaccountable for anything he says regardless of truth value or offensiveness, he has no particular incentive to put any thought into something as mundane as a news conference on CNN, just another news network for losers. as long as he can jet around spewing forth BS and still land himself 30% of the GOP vote through sheer megalomania, his commentary is only bound by his imagination.

4. He doesn't just sound like that

It's because he's making it up on the fly. Which is why it's nearly useless to confront him with his previous contradictory statements. Like the boss in the boardroom, he will forcefully give his deathless opinion on something, even if it's totally at odds with what he said at the last meeting, the last conference call, or even his last sentence. T Rump doesn't have time to go around explaining his little squirts of wisdom; you underlings are the ones who'd better figure out, and don't bother T Rump with a bunch of fool questions about which of his mutually exclusive instructions you should carry out. Just get it done.

Jeb! seems to be abandoning the old Bush family tradition of letting the elves and ratfuckers do his dirty work. Behind-the-scenes skullduggery isn't going to work on T Rump. Jeb!'s soft, manicured hands are unaccustomed to doing any heavy lifting, so his ineffectual slaps at T Rump just get him another red-ass.

Good luck to any of the journalists who try to get specifics out of T Rump's rantings. You'd have better luck nailing jell-o to the side of the podium.

6. I'm sure that he thinks he is far too brilliant to

need to outline his message or organize his thoughts before he gets onstage, that's for losers.

7. It's not that.

He has his bullet points.
He has his sound clips.

But above all, he adores listening to himself speak. He is a narcissist above all.

8. It's frightening. I'm watching the first of his Iowa speech, about

all I can watch, and he started rambling about the Apprentice and how Mark Burnett could not believe he wasn't going to re-up, and put it on the schedule anyway even though Trump told him he was going to run for President. And he goes on about all the money he gave up to run for President (what NBC was going to pay him.)

Surreal.

It makes the thought of the country being in the hands of Peter Sellers character in _Being There_ seem substantive in comparison, and far less scary.
