Do we really need to see all of his insane rambling speeches? I don't remember ever in another presidential campaigns the media showing every speech from a candidate.

Seeming drug-addled or psychotic or...
does he have dementia? substance abuse?
Has Trump had a blood test or a psych exam recently?
Something truly seems wrong - normal people don't
act so strangely.

6. It always gets worse as the speech goes along - the manic grows

This time comparing building the wall to building a bathroom was kind of out there (and the wall was going to have beautiful gates) - that one really got me. Again, his rambling anger at the press - his narcissism is having a hard time with this.

He has a kind of depressive air about him - does not look happy - does the fake smile. His little mannerisms after every speech are getting old - pointing the finger, etc. reminds me of my 5 yr old grandson.

Seriously, there are no words. All you can do is watch, be in pain, tear your hair out, and throw out random curses that this shitgibbon could potentially inhabit the white house. The same vague statements repeated over and over, 3rd grade vocabulary...

What Language Experts Find So Strange About Donald Trump

Trump’s favorite word, however, is “I.” His fourth-favorite word is “Trump.” Eight out of his 13 favorite words are one syllable, and the two syllable words are simple — “very,” “China,” and “money.” His only three-syllable favorite word is “Mexico.”

One of his major campaign issues is that America is weak and has been made weak by the Democrats, but Trump will make us strong again, and show the world our strength. It's one of his biggest applause lines.

Who are these people that are so terrified that other countries might perceive us as weak? Which countries are those? And how, exactly, are we weak? None of this makes any fucking sense.

Also: don't read the comments. They're more depressing than usual, openly using racist slurs.

Everyone said it was a great speech. It was amazing: all these people came up
to him and thanked him for such a great speech. So there's no problem with the
speech, believe me. I mean, I have to be honest with you, that frankly, it was
such a great speech and everyone loved it. I have to tell you that the speech
was one of the greats, I mean, if you look at the polls, which are amazing, you
can see that we're doing terrific in the speech.

and they say, 'Mr. Trump, in no way do you need help.' So believe me,
everyone says that I need no help. When it comes to not needing help,
everyone agrees that I'm one of the greatest, a real great. I know a lot
of people in the field of help, and they always comment on how little
help I need. All of these helpers beg me to come to their help place,
and when I did they ended up thanking me for everything and then they ask
me for help. And if you look at the polls, which frankly are amazing, you'll
see that everyone agrees I don't need help.
