This is an actual Trump sentence (Daily KOS)

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and
engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes,
OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart
—you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if,
like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the
smartest people anywhere in the world—it's true!—but when you're a
conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that's
why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went
there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my
like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged—but
you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would
have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear
is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the
power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of
what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?),
but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it
used to be three, now it's four—but when it was three and even now, I
would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because,
you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter
right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about
another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians
are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Isn't Trump 70 or 71 years old. His uncle explained to him 35 years ago that nuclear weapons were powerful. He didn't already know that when he was in his thirties? Maybe I'm misreading this, which of course, isn't difficult to do.

Trump is incapable of clear thought.

The word "succinct" -- not in his vocabulary.

The word "focus" -- not there either.

Stupid? Now there's the word that describes Trump perfectly.

Words -- what makes us different from dogs. (or cats or cows or mice or pigs or . . . .)

of how he has changed...his speech. Whether it is his age or the pressures of the job on top of the investigation it definitely has effected him. Wolff and another moron biographer both said so recently. He is losing it, too bad they'll never use the 25th Amend (too complicated and GOP cabinet would never consider it)
