Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIs Trump the most poorly spoken individual ever to occupy that office?
Or what?
A third grader could put together a better speech than he did.
What an embarrassment...

(5,823 posts)The contrast between the Dump and EVERY world leader that's visited has been vast. If it was limited to the Dump's issues with extemporaneous speaking & answering questions, it wouldn't be as big a problem. But he stumbles with prepared, printed statements as well.

(17,314 posts)Every president has had to contend with various problems upon entering office, it's part and parcel with the job. The difference between presidents is their mindset in tackling those issues. Some are strategic in their actions and brilliant in their discourse. Others, like Drumpf, whine and complain and point fingers. He ADDS to the problems.

(60,339 posts)Prior to 2016, anyone with his inability to speak would not even gotten him in to the primary let alone win it and the presidency.
I have seen 3rd graders with a better vocabulary and eloquence in speaking.

(17,234 posts)Huge and Bad, the Worst and what's more. He is Hugely the Worst. Everyone knows. "Believe me".
He has always been Very bad. We all know that. Besides being Nasty, he is the Worst speaker ever.
Does that cover his ability to NOT be articulate and be the Very Worst Man to occupy the White House? Hugely.

Every time he shakes hands with despots and dictators, it reminds me of his public spurning of the democratically-elected Angela Merkel.
This demented occupant of the White House has to be removed.

(7,820 posts)Simple words/phrases repeated over and over. No complexity or abstract thought. Intellectually lazy. I don't know if this is all part of the con or if this is just the level he operates on. I do know his supporters lap it up.
Phentex
(16,334 posts)He seems to be very nervous. He struggles with phrasing even about the most simple of topics. The more difficult topics are an absolute nightmare for him because he hasn't a clue what people are talking about.

(3,396 posts)Katy Tur called it "fluffing" his statements to make it seem he knew what he was talking about.
She was brutal in her Trump assessment and I loved it.
Also, King Abdullah was shmoozing the Hell out of Trump who lapped it up. Abdullah knew what he was doing, Trump looked like a preening peacock while being praised. For a second there I thought he was imitating Alex Baldwin.

(63,917 posts)spoken individual period. But his followers continue to follow this non intellectual man/child over the cliff.
He is a tarnish/blemish on our country and us, how much longer can we bear this imbecile. He is an insult to all of us who have a brain.
