[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The man goes into the lions den and clearly handled the sulituation like a pro. Meanwhile Kamala is a no show[/quote] lol there was NOTHING pro about that. he actually could have prepped and had a great answer explaining why Black people should vote for him, pointing to hard economic facts and things like immigration policy. But he bloviated and lashed out because that’s literally all he can do when facing an adversary. [/quote] Trump doesn't prep because he's lazy.[/quote] He's not lazy he's a narcissist. He believe he knows everything and doesn't need to prep. There's a VERY big difference between the two. [/quote] He does not need a week in a bunker like Joe to prepare. And this is what his voters like about him. He comes very open about who he is. He is not hiding it or pretending to be someone else. Meanwhile, Harris had not have any single press conference in 11 days since she became a presumptive nominee. Because she is being prepped. Which is totally fine and appeal to a different group as well. [/quote] You’re implying that he answered questions and was effective. He was not. He demonstrated his declining cognitive state, his emotional instability, and his racism. He put on a remarkably poor performance. [/quote] I would like to see an analysis of changes in his speech patterns since he was elected in 2016. At that time experts observed extreme differences between how he spoke in the 80s and 90s and then. He used to speak in complex sentences, he used to use multi-syllabic words. By 2016, not any more. This included unscripted speech. A lot of people saying he "tells it like it is" is just people responding to him speaking at the equivalent of a 4th grade reading level. And some of that might be touching on primitive emotional responses?--unspoken biases against groups of people or just their sense of grievance? https://www.statnews.com/2017/05/23/donald-trump-speaking-style-interviews/: [quote]In interviews Trump gave in the 1980s and 1990s (with Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, Charlie Rose, and others), he spoke articulately, used sophisticated vocabulary, inserted dependent clauses into his sentences without losing his train of thought, and strung together sentences into a polished paragraph, which — and this is no mean feat — would have scanned just fine in print. This was so even when reporters asked tough questions about, for instance, his divorce, his brush with bankruptcy, and why he doesn’t build housing for working-class Americans. Example (1992 with charlie Rose) “Ross Perot, he made some monumental mistakes. Had he not dropped out of the election, had he not made the gaffes about the watch dogs and the guard dogs, if he didn’t have three or four bad days — and they were real bad days — he could have conceivably won this crazy election.” [/quote] [quote]Now, Trump’s vocabulary is simpler. He repeats himself over and over, and lurches from one subject to an unrelated one, as in this answer during an interview with the Associated Press last month: “People want the border wall. My base definitely wants the border wall, my base really wants it — you’ve been to many of the rallies. OK, the thing they want more than anything is the wall. My base, which is a big base; I think my base is 45 percent. You know, it’s funny. The Democrats, they have a big advantage in the Electoral College. Big, big, big advantage. … The Electoral College is very difficult for a Republican to win, and I will tell you, the people want to see it. They want to see the wall.”[/quote] [/quote]
