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?
