    He has always told rambling, near-incoherent stories.

    No he hasn’t. Here is a link to a Trump campaign speech from his 2000 run. Jump ahead to 6:45 or so in the video to where he starts and listen for just a few minutes. The difference between this speech and his current style of spewing sewer-pipe is starkly astonishing.

      Ok sure, let me clarify.

      Successful presidential candidate Trump has been telling rambling, near-incoherent stories since at least 2015. This type of unfiltered ranting based on reactionary grievances has earned him many followers and many detractors.

      Unsuccessful presidential candidate Trump sounded much more like a run of the mill politician back in 2000, before he became a reality tv show star.

      Holy shit I did not expect that. A lot of the same mannerisms are there in proto-form but he’s actually talking like a human it’s super weird to see

        Like a human but still like a 3rd or maybe 5th grader. Castro was a “murder, killer, and bad guy.” “NYC was in terrible terrible condition.” I know they tell politicians to use speech that’s not too high level but he undershoots it by at least a couple grade levels. He just comes off as dumb as fuck.

        At least we saw Melania directly responding to something he said in the crowd before he started speaking. Guess she used to give him the time of day at some point.
