It's typical of the way he speaks coming from a salesman and promoter background. He says a lot that can't be argued with because there's really nothing there to argue. He also has a confidence and structure around the words that allows people to read things into what he's saying. People supporting him will see him as saying what they believe and people against him will see him saying the opposite of what they believe. In reality, he didn't say anything of substance, but he managed to get both sides worked up. It's very fascinating to see both supporters and opposers get so emotional over things being said that have absolutely no substance. It's a great study in tribalism, group think, and general psychology.

And people think Biden is incoherent...

People falsely claim Biden is incoherent in order to deflect from this sort of shit with Trump. If you go around assuming the fascists actually believe the nonsense they're saying, you're gonna have a bad time.

Biden has a stutter

[Not a Sartre quote]

Merely stuttering and being incoherent aren't the same thing, though.

This is what I don't understand. Biden has slip ups or forgets a name or mumbles a bit, but Trump doesn't make any sense with 90% of the shit he says.

It's pure charisma. You might listen to Trump's speeches and thought "what an idiot", but you've seen nothing until you've read the transcript

It's always incoherent

It's easy to understand when you realize that everything is team sports with Republicans. as pathetic as trump is and has become, a ton of them still support him.

Imagine if any Democrat gassed protesters in the street so they could take a weird picture with an upside down bible in front of a church they'd not step a toe into if their life depended on it. Republicans would talk about how fucked it was for decades. Trump does it, it's worth defending to the death

Low effort because using Trump is cheating
