Trump Does Press Conference, Produces Word Salad

[alexw]

He's just responding to the people who have the most influence. That's what he's hearing so that's what he's saying. He'll forget who elected him really fast. Because those people aren't anywhere near him right now.

Forget? He's already forgotten. His cabinet picks make that very clear. I can't wait until he starts talking about medicare and SS privatization to his heavily welfare dependent retiree supporters. Its going to be as popular as a house fire. Maybe then they'll finally realize how much they have been played by con-artist Trump.

maybe you need to get on with yr live, and stop getting trigger all the time

Hey hey, enough with this "on topic" bullshit, pick a side and start screaming!

Oh right the topics. Yes, I also think computers have greatly complicated my life. The whole computer age has made me think nobody knows exactly whats going on. We need to find out what's going on. We need to get tough with these internet trolls. There should be some speed limits or some police on it? Can we do that? Someone please, speak to the senators right away!

The audacity of even comparing a few "errrr" to complete nonsense mumbo-jumbo.

I can't wait for the day moderation wakes up and stops tolerating this cesspool.

[Daerio]

There is the difference between not wanting to answer a question and not being able to do so without sounding like a 3rd grader.

Indeed, I think the former is probably worse when it comes to being able to trust elected officials. I don't actually demand my politicians be the most intelligent people, and I certainly don't think Clinton is all that intelligent. Accountability is what matters, and Clinton definitely didn't have any of that.

Sallad is a favorit of mine. its easy to make and you can put almost anything in it and the result almost never fail.
And its healthy.

As mentioned on the first page, his answer is entirely intelligible on both points. I can't tell if the people pointing and sputtering are actually so stupid that they can't comprehend it or if they're just conditioned to point and sputter as a result of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is glib, but completely meaningless.

The US broke from their status quo position on Israel, this shouldn't be surprising that Israel's irritated about the middle finger they're receiving from Obama, regardless of whether you think that middle finger is justified.

More to the point, the mistreatment being referred to is the obvious double standard when it comes to human rights abuses - many of the UN members that are deeply concerned with Israel's actions seem to give approximately zero shits when it's some other reliably barbaric country doing barbaric shit.

You read his quotes and found them intelligible, yet it's my reply you find glib and meaningless.

If you can't tell the difference between that, and can't understand why his answers are reminiscent of a child who doesn't know what they're talking about, why it resembles someone who has no idea what to say and is clearly searching for anything they believe sounds intelligent, perhaps objectivity isn't your thing. Which is fine, but it's weird for you to project things like stupidity, glibness, meaninglessness, etc on to people reacting to this very traits.

Well actually it's not weird. It's typical.

It does bother me that he had a rich father who sent him to an IVY league, on English scholarship no less. What's next, Bill Gates for Presidency? I am confused as to why you people never champion people who are self made billionaire but never brag about it. Does Trump even qualify if his 'success" is what America needs?

Being rich doesn't mean you can pass ivy league classes.

Not if you put almost anything in it. Then it becomes something that could be healthy, if it wasn't completely full of shit.

Asked generally about sanctions against Russia, Trump says:


Asked if he thinks there should be any limit on Israeli settlement building, Trump says:


Pure gibberish.

What a moron. Too stupid to be president.

Who'd have thought a man with zero political experience would be unable to express himself in political matters?

Why do you put shit in your sallad? that dont make any sense.

You read his quotes and found them intelligible, yet it's my reply you find glib and meaningless.

Your reply is written, his is transcribed; if you're unfamiliar with how transcription can be used to clean up verbiage or to make the speaker look less intelligible, than I guess you're not familiar with transcription.

Additionally, the snip I quoted as glib and meaningless was the silly tautology that "false equivalencies are false for a reason" - this is begging the question.

If you can't tell the difference between that, and can't understand why his answers are reminiscent of a child who doesn't know what they're talking about, why it resembles someone who has no idea what to say and is clearly searching for anything they believe sounds intelligent, perhaps objectivity isn't your thing. Which is fine, but it's weird for you to project things like stupidity, glibness, meaninglessness, etc on to people reacting to this very traits.

Well actually it's not weird. It's typical.

His first answer is saying, "the internet moves information faster and regulation/security haven't really caught up with it, we need to consult with experts to form solid policies". His second answer is, "there's a double standard that Israel is held to; I find this unfair".

Were you sincerely unable to take that away from what he said? If you couldn't comprehend it, I really don't know what to tell you. If you could, but decided to say that it's unintelligible anyway, this is just a ridiculous example of pointing and sputtering because you don't like someone's dialect.

My guess is that he might be dyslexic.

It's even more jarring how supposedly progressive and open minded people. Call Melania a whore/prostitute, call for rape/kidnapping of his daughter, call his son Autistic for getting drowzy at 3 AM and calling Kanye a Uncle Tom/House Negro.

Rock bottom has been reached a long time ago.

The right wingers have been making themselves comfortable in rock bottom for decades, the progressive left joined them there quite recently.

[Daelak]

Israel isn't mistreated by the west. They've had their hands held for decades by the US. The US didn't hold their hand 1 time and everyone flips their shit.

Exactly, the Trumpers on this thread are bending over backwards once again defending his rambling incoherences. Remember this is a president that reads from conspiracy websites, not intelligence briefings.

[LaserSharkDFB]

Why do you put shit in your sallad? that dont make any sense.

And yet here we are, with President-Elect Trump.

[Straamibuu]

The whole situation is so bizarre, that someone who amounts to be little more than a wannabe twitter troll can become a world leader.
I'm still convinced that Pence used him as a trojan horse to get to be VP, and then will just impeach trump (shudders)... it's not like the orange buffoon won't get plenty of chances for it to happen.

[xfloydex]

He has been speaking that way every day for the past year and a half, and it got him elected president. Where the hell have you been for the past 2 years op.

Well a president should know his enemies so it would be stupid to listen and trust the enemy.

Are you saying intelligence briefings are the enemy?
