"many, many" "very, very" "horrible, horrible"

[BlueStater]

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. He has to be the dumbest, least articulate person to ever become president. What a travesty.

[Warpy]

1. He perseverates. It's pathological

He repeats the same thing over and over and over again, incapable of moving on to another subject.

The repetition of adjectives would make sense if he were a recent immigrant from China with poor English. He's not, so it's just sad.

[Solly Mack]

3. He does. It is.

[mainer]

11. perseveration is a sign of neuropathology

I've long said the man has dementia. He sounds like my dad did when he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

[Angry Dragon]

2. if you repeat the same thing over and over again .....it makes it true

4. A diva of drama

9. Early signs of

Dementia. Seen this is a friend who had Character Traits of Trump. It only gets uglier. Understand there is a History of Mental Health issues in the Trumpf Clan.

10. Stupid, stupid.

He expresses himself like he's trying to sell a Rolex knockoff on the street.

Once a bullshitter always a bullshitter.

12. It's embarrassing but it serves him

Because so little of what he says has any factual basis, repetitively spewing simple adverbs and adjectives plays to the prejudices of those inclined to support him (his true audience, always) while making refutation more challenging (when he says something like "our crime rates are soaring" he can be fact-checked, but if he says it's "very very high" he's still wrong, but proving it is more subtle because what counts as "high" depends on which of many defensible standards you might choose - maybe one can establish that murder rates is at historically low levels, for instance, but reasonable people could still consider those rates much higher than a society should deem acceptable).

The embarrassing part isn't that he's inarticulate, it's that we've found ourselves in a position where what ought to be disqualifying defects actually served to promote his taking power.

13. i absolutely fucking cringe when I hear him talk

he is even dumber than Dubya.......what an embarrassment

[Cirque du So-What]

14. Donnie Two Times

He woulda fit in perfectly in the cast of Goodfellas.

[Motley13]

15. He knows words, he has the best words

16. My five-year-old grandchild seems to have a better vocabulary than Drumpf does.

She might be a bit fuzzy on possessives and tenses (she has a problem between mine and my), but she uses words like "cylinder", "appropriate", "articulate", and "circuitry" properly, and she knows when her grammar is a bit off when she attempts to construct her sentences. She's always asking "How do I say this?".

Malignant Narcissist.
