Verbose potus
Haha the Times (Shear and Haberman) calls Trump verbose. In real life (i.e. socially as opposed to pretending to be presidently) that would be the worst thing about him: the windbag aspect. I cannot bear windbags.
The verbose commander-in-chief has posted more than 2,900 times on Twitter since taking office, using the term “FAKE NEWS” to describe everything from the Russia probe and allegations of chaos in the White House to harassment accusations, the size of his inaugural crowds and heated arguments with world leaders.
But he has been uncharacteristically silent in recent days — to the relief of his advisers — as a pornographic film star and a Playboy model described intimate details of sexual encounters with Mr. Trump.
The library produced one of its hundreds of copies of Fire and Fury for me yesterday so here’s a bit about Don’s verbosity:
And yet his entry into the Trump inner circle caused Priebus his share of uncertainty and bewilderment. He came out of his first long meeting with Trump thinking it had been a disconcertingly weird experience. Trump talked nonstop and constantly repeated himself.
“Here’s the deal,” a close Trump associate told Priebus. “In an hour meeting with him you’re going to hear fifty-four minutes of stories and they’re going to be the same stories over and over again.”
Unbearable.
Usually demented old men with delusions of being the leader of the most militarily powerful country on the planet would be getting condescendingly indulged in nursing homes. Why, America, did you give this one the actual job?
tiggerthewing, probably because this particular demented old man didn’t claim to be Caesar or Napoleon he slipped under the net.
No, he just claimed to be a stable genius – though that was after he was elected. Before he was elected, he just claimed that he knows things that other people don’t know, and that he is the only one who can solve our problems.
Only the poor are crazy; the rich are just eccentric.
Eerie. Self-repetition is a classic ‘drunken bore’ symptom. In that case, its often due to the bore being in a blackout: conscious, but with short-term memory not functioning. They’ll repeat themselves endlessly with no awareness of doing so.
