        Not in the news. But I am not American, I don’t watch what Trump has to say (or rather, I barely watch news for years).

        Years ago I used to hear him talk while he was president and it was really cringe but this transcript from the first reply just seems a bit surreal. Insane, rather.

        Edit: I was curious enough to go visit the article URL and take a look at the video but there doesn’t seem to be a video of the Fox clip they write about (or ublock/etc hide it). Maybe it’s for the best… 😁

          It’s for the best. Listening to him makes you lose iq points. If he talks about anything you know about it is also likely to make you angry.

          His speeches caused serious headaches for translators the world over. How exactly do you translate his incoherent ramblings into another language?

      Yes this is the direct quote the article refers to. He rambles nonsense, often self contradicting, and then people in the media try to fashion it into coherent points for him, leading to a fake impression of competency, misleading the public and voters. This is the man who had to have his national security briefings summarized into a few brief bullet points with pictures, and he was apparently still unable to read them.

        He also charted a hurricane with a sharpie! Usually we ask the children not to draw on the adults things but alas…
