I'm not going to include an excerpt here, because the whole thing is batshit. But the main takeaway is turning it into a slick, Faux News-style video for his viewing pleasure, as he doesn't like to read.

No one has proven that he can read. And any document that is presented to me as evidence best be in long form.

Probably a big part of why his speeches are rambling incoherent messes, can't read a teleprompter.

Sorry, but him speaking off the cuff is what makes many prefer him to the choreographed politicians.

I thought he was rambling when I saw transcripts (eg that story about a nuclear physicist uncle about 5 years ago) but when you hear it you realise the style is natural. In real life we do not complete sentences if the message has gotten through already. MAGA think we are stupid for needing it all spelled out for us.

Then there is last week's speech at West Point which Liberals were laughing at because he went off on a tangent about some rich friend whose wife cheated on him. Well I went to the full speech to have a laugh but found it was a whole hour (impressive speaking time) and this was in the middle. He tied the story back to the topic by the end. Most of it was not weird. I didn't endure the whole hour but the troops loved it.

Similarly Libs think he is an idiot for his yoyo tariffs but he is happy for us to get distracted by the comedians while he profits from all the insider trading this enables. Instability is profitable when you are the one who can predict the rises and falls each week.

He is a buffoon but he definitely hams it up for advantage.

Sock puppets.

Will they use AI to insert him into scenes wearing a superhero outfit? That will get his attention.

Lots of pictures and two syllable or less words. Bad guy go boom - yes or no?
