I actually think it's better to read it. When you hear it spoken you instinctually give a speaker the benefit of the doubt that a sentence fragment is going somewhere when they have the intonation to imply such.

I swear every time I see him hes somehow even uglier
in some pics, he looks like a wax figure made by a 6 year old with a dead raccoon sat on top, others he looks like shitty 90s CG of someone's face melting off
Yeah he's ugly AF. So ugly that I couldn't even punch him if I got the chance because the ugly would rub off onto my knuckles.
If you ever get the chance to cause physical harm to this man, you take it. Catching some ugly is absolutely worth it.
Nope, that guy is a cunt and this is all I need to know or to hear. Start reporting again when he's fucking dead.
This is why there will be no televised debate.
has to be heard in full to be believed
Article had no audio or video clips.
Cool. But no it doesn't. Ive heard enough from him that I can imagine it just fine.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Journalists rightly chose not to broadcast Trump’s entire speeches after 2016, believing that the free coverage helped boost the former president and spread lies unchecked.
Watching a Trump speech in full better shows what it’s like inside his head: a smorgasbord of falsehoods, personal and professional vendettas, frequent comparisons to other famous people, a couple of handfuls of simple policy ideas, and a lot of non sequiturs that veer into barely intelligible stories.
This conclusion is the most straightforward part of a Trump speech and is typically the extent of what a candidate for office would say on the campaign trail, perhaps with some personal storytelling or mild joking added in.
But in a presidential race among two old men that’s often focused on the age of the one who’s slightly older, these campaign trail antics shed light on Trump’s mental acuity, even if people tend to characterize them differently than Joe Biden’s.
While Biden’s gaffes elicit serious scrutiny, as writers in the New Yorker and the New York Times recently noted, we’ve seemingly become inured to Trump’s brand of speaking, either skimming over it or giving him leeway because this has always been his shtick.
During this week’s Wisconsin speech, which was more coherent than usual, Trump pulled out a few frequent refrains: comparing himself, incorrectly, to Al Capone, saying he was indicted more than the notorious gangster; making fun of the Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis’s first name (“It’s spelled fanny like your ass, right?
