Right, but there's basically nothing there. He took all that time to say "Iran outnegotiated us". Brevity alone isn't a mark of quality obviously, but the point the person above was making is that underneath the bluster there really is very little substance. You had said you don't know whether it's actually dumb or just not what you're used to hearing, and we're both saying that yes it really is dumb. It can be effective and popular while being dumb as well, unfortunately
Part of being a politician is being appealing. He's not just reciting information.
