40. This is the best explanation of his speech I've seen. It summarizes him perfectly

Jun 19

• A journalist asks a specific question about policy or events
• Trump, clearly unfamiliar with the actual details, activates his response generator
• Out comes a stream of confident-sounding words that maintain just enough semantic connection to the question to seem like an answer
• The response optimizes for what Trump thinks his audience wants to hear, rather than for accuracy or truth

He never has any details, any specifics, any information in his commentary that indicates any real understanding of the issue he's discussing.
