European journos have asked why US journos edit the Droning Drumpf for clarity to make him sound coherent. Enjoy.
Having done a few interviews I can take you through this. He should always integrate the question into the answer and then provide a lucid response that starts and ends in a grammatically understandable way. Even a 12 year old could answer this first question in three words.
Trump is trying to get all his talking points in the first answer and interrupts himself while confusing hits and talking points. He is literally trying to figure out what he is saying and then swerving all over the place. CBS would edit this into a better sounding bite.
He is trying to insult Stahl, trash Biden, correct himself, finish his answers, remember his talking points and try to look important. Note his facial muscles and eye movements. He is a mental mess. Suppressing his amygdala when he should be using his frontal lobes
Watch his eyes and mouth movements. He has a fear of looking or sounding bad. Trump is clearly having a hard time tasking his frontal lobes. A sign of Alzheimer's etc. Also he is angry at Stahl, at Biden, at the questions and his own answers. He retreats to talking points.
If this was a job interview or even a conversation in a casual environment there would be concern about his unfocused anger and inability to articulate what he is angry about. He has the lost the election, the nation is a mess and he has to own it. Not a bad talking point.
So why can’t Trump speak properly, remember things, pronounce words...why can’t he rally instead of divide, focus instead of confuse, lift up instead of step on? Well come Nov 3, who fucking cares?

Really glad that the former head of Google is just figuring this out. The internet is like 4 billion real people yelling at each other and another ten billion fake people screaming back. deadline.com/2020/10/ex-goo…
Twenty percent of the 87 million followers of Trump's private Twitter account don't exist. Responses to Trump's tweets range from 1.5K to 30K a shockingly low engagement rate. Most are insults. Seems to be mostly media that rise to the bait. tweetbinder.com/blog/trump-twi…
Internet example: NY POST stole my joke and then Trump retweeted it and then people shit on Fiddy Cent for being a selfish bastard selling hatin, rapin and killin songs to poor black people. End result: 67K retweet, 310 likes 12K quotes and 3 seconds of hate.

"Free lance" means "mercenary". Freelancing sucks as a business model for most creative professionals but its part of the destruction of corporate culture and legacy costs. Note that Small Business Owner is not used. Next up: dirt floors and hot bunking cnbc.com/2020/10/17/why…
the "gig" economy, now a third of the work force, creates a working class that isn't profitable to become a business with employees but are considered not good enough to be hired full time at a corporation. Avoiding the burden of health, welfare etc. zety.com/blog/gig-econo…
Gig workers are truly fucked. Many have to own assets like cars, tools, cameras, equipment to make less than minimum wage (if you factor in down time). But the efficiency of networked home workers allow employers to push prices down. forbes.com/sites/forbesco…

"people walk the streets wearing “Bad Things Happen in Philadelphia” T-shirts, an ironic appropriation of President Trump’s statement from the first debate." Campaign Spending: $121.5 million from Team Biden, $74.2 million from Team Trump. nytimes.com/2020/10/20/opi…

"What's more to do,
Which would be planted newly with the time,
As calling home our exiled friends abroad
That fled the snares of watchful tyranny,
Producing forth the cruel ministers
Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen" .fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-p…

Cheap gas, low interest, $100k blue collar jobs, no dead people, no deficit, no riots, Trump would be 86.
Trump has been posting preachers blessing him and stroking his ego. Can’t imagine why. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/…
Just like magic. It will all go away.

Stories starting about GOP putting plywood between Donald and them. I am still holding out for the Nixon Option and monitoring background chatter on at what point he starts telling people to beat on voters. The Layfette Bible run was proof of concept and Portland was a test run.
I am not a fan of conspiracy I am gaming this out based on the rapidly shrinking options the TrumpCrime family has. Who gave me this idea? His former consigliere, Michael Cohen. Have a read. thedailybeast.com/michael-cohen-…
Remember Trump exists because he relies on ratfuckers to game the system. He won't pardon himself so he needs Pence to take one for the team. It's about preserving this rancid legacy and keeping the base boiling. Stolen election! Antifa! Deep State! etc. nytimes.com/2020/07/10/us/…
