Trump always sounds like a kid giving a report on a book he didn't read.

Trump really is exceptional at uttering a bunch of words amounting to no content. He must have been GREAT when he got called on in class and hadn't done the reading. I mean, if that ever happened.



Always sounds like a kid giving a report on a book he didn't read.

"The book is about mice & men. Or as I like to call them, vermin. You may call them rodents. It was a tremendous & powerful story. The men are very strong from the standpoint of the mice."

"Big, strong men with tears streaming down their face. And the mice too!"



Not as strong as say, some of the guys that are my friends. Big, strong guys. One of them said the other day, he was huge, he said sir, sir, thank you for reading books so well. And he was crying and said he’d never seen a book read like this. And understood good too, because



It goes on.

I do not think he has ever read any book, the servants probably wrote his book reports for him.

Had a roomy in my Dorm,sucker was a Career Student,his Daddy paid me to do his Home Work and prep him for his Mid's and Finals. Dumber than dumb,but Daddy had more money than the whole country of Canada.

Developed a Crib Note system for him. Remember those so called Basket Weaving Classes,his Major was a Generalist,so tons of Arts and Stage and Acting classes,as well as a Music Appreciation and Interpretation.

I said all of my students are important, he said but this one's family gave over a million dollars to the University. I kept my mouth shut because I needed my job, but I can tell you that kid was the most arrogant piece of crap I have ever encountered.

But,I got to use a new Corvette occasionally,usually when the roomy was blitzed or sleeping off a two day drunk.

He was not the only dud,couple others are now the key GOP players in Wisconsin.

When he's reading something they force him to ("The Klan is bad" or something similar), he speaks either completely flat or else sing-songy. My analogy is "like a seventh grader reading a book report he didn't write about a book he didn't read, even the Cliff's Notes, and he doesn't even know what half the words mean."

and that it’s of no interest to him. Just going through the motions. It’s one of his many tells.
