Trump is just Sarah Palin with a better command of English

I listened to an interview with him yesterday and all his answers were as nonsensical and content free as anything Palin would say. He just doesn't talk in word salads.

Asked about Yellen and the feds, he said Yellen is okay but a "low interet peson" whatever the fuck that means, but they will have to raise rates because they are just printing money.
This shows almost no understanding of the Fed or the current economic situation.

Other answers were similar. He really says little with real content, it's all "Bar Muslims" Or Build a wall".

Other than that it is all how smart he is, how he is better at this or that than anyone else, etc...

She showed that there was a market on the right for that product.

command of our language and a lot more money with which to intimidate. And anyone who says anything he doesn't like is threatened with lawsuits, SP didn't have that weapon in her bucket.

They are both charismatic entertainers and the have similar stage acts that are tailor made to appeal to the hates and fears of their target audience. But neither one of them ever deliver anything more than a sound byte word salad filled with empty cliches, trite slogans, childish rhyming couplets, nonsensical zingers, imbecilic one liners and dopey buzzwords. Palin never had any policies or plans, and Trump can't be bother put out anything better than bombastic braggadocio.
