How many times has Trump said "We'll see what happens"? This is a leader?

Each time he says this, instead of giving a meaningful answer to a question, he might just as well be saying "Whatever, dude!" or "Ain't no thang!"

I thought most people with his attitude wore red noses.

'Cause he just can't find "the best words, the very best words", like he usually does (sarcasm).

I'm sure you've noticed that he repeats the same thought at least 2x an interview, or maybe 3x, he does this all the time cause he wants to kill time so he doesn't face any hard questions.

The sphere of communications and seems a little less outrageous with each retelling. He’s read this and admitted to using the strategy, and it works. Just like the repition of his name in the media elevated him to someone important- he learned a long time ago that any press at all makes him more important to the public.

He imagines that it makes him sound powerful rather than disengaged and unsure of himself.

'tune in next week to see what happens on "As the Stomach Turns." Just what a carney con man says to keep the rubes interested, and so he can escape the room.
