When Trump was running for president the first time I always said that the "good" thing about him was that he said what he thought and so you always knew what he was thinking, but the bad thing was that everything he thought was insane and terrifying and full of hatred.

and it turns out that his verbal diarrhea of interior monologues are massively influential to a vocal minority of intolerable people

when other nation's wannabe dictators started quoting him, shit got scary

I think you need to have a lobotomy before you're able to effectively quote Trump.

You need to remove the part of the brain that's in charge of ensuring that a sentence actually conveys some meaning. Even if you're lying the lie should at least be moderately believable in the sense that it's comprehensible by people who haven't had 30 whiskey sours.

It's scary because it turns out a lot of people don't want a person who is well spoken, or thoughtful in their actions, or able to compromise as their nation's leader. They want someone who's loud, says anything that pops into their head, and is willing to act completely and utterly on impulse.

You also have the problem if him not knowing what he's thinking.
