At least his sentences are coherent /s
It's fucking wild that conservatives listen to Trump and hear an intelligent and coherent person.
He said this in 2016:
He was still elected.
I love these transcripts, they always sound like a conversation some rambling old man is having with his hospice nurse.
Ok Mr. Trump, very good. Now take your medications.
This article is seven years old now, but it sticks in my memory all the same: French translator Bérengère Viennot on the difficulties of trying to represent Trump's manner of speech in another language
I wish to point out that he was in his early 70s at the time, generally a bit early for that level of impairment.
Well, assuming the impairment is age-related and not just, you know, built in
True, although if you watch him over the years, especially between 2016 and now, there's been a huge amount of noticeable cognitive decline.
He forgot his own wife's name. He called her Mercedes.
Yeah it's true that while he was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, he does seem to have gotten a lot worse fairly quickly. Might be COVID, it's been linked to cognitive decline and I've definitely seen that in my own parents who are no spring chicken
"Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV."
It’s like an LLM is responding to a Markov chain with an LLM-generated Markov chain.
IMO the more amazing thing is that he's since referenced his uncle multiple times as proof that he himself is smart.
Like, aside from all the crazy rambling, he buys into eugenics to such an extent that he thinks his uncle being smart necessarily means that he is also smart. And, he assumes his audience will also believe that intelligence is a hereditary trait like that.
Apparently they do believe it. Either that or they just accept that he does and don't care. But I'd say believing in eugenics is more likely.
No, it's that they hear someone they understand. "He says it like it is," is white people speak for "his words aren't confusing me." Bc really all Don ever does is tell a story like a trailer park kid. It speaks to their biases and emotions and that's all they care about
I doubt most of them listen to him at all. They listen to Fox or Newsmax or whatever social media, who only cherrypick the fragments that sound vaguely coherent, and conversely only played the pieces of Biden's speeches that were incoherent. They either don't realize or don't care that they're not looking at the whole picture.
Honestly I think it's just that they don't care: Trump is the Führer and everything he does is perfect
I expect that they are hearing but not listening
I actually laughed the first time I heard a Trump fan claim Biden was incoherent. I honestly thought they were kidding.
Nope, dead serious. "Have you ever heard Trump talk?" Silence.
Gettysburg… wow
Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was, the battle at Gettysburg, what an unbelievable. I mean, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Never fight uphill me boys!
ME BOYS
I felt a blood vessel pop in my brain just trying to read that.
What's the nearest airport and to Gettysburg?
There isn't one.
