If this is the exact transcript, wow...I just can't even....

I hope there's video.

What is the big deal? Coal is an excellent resource to use especially for plants up and down the Ohio and Mississippi.

That's the problem. It's not a big deal. Too many of us have grown used to our president having the communications skills of a 4th grader.

Speaking only for myself, I still cringe when we read something as completely asinine as this. Yet I admit that I am slowly coming around to appreciate that President Trump, despite his incoherence, nevertheless has been surprisingly effective on many issues that his predecessors have either ignored or made worse. Perhaps basic communications skills are overrated after all.

He's inarticulate on his best days and gets things done even on his worst days.

I'll take it as opposed to the guy who promised me "that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation."

He is fine when he does his prepared speeches and sometimes his off the cuff stuff is fine also. It isn't like whatever he did today was for a national audience.

IMO, Trump intentionally talks like that to make his opponents think he is stupid, all the while running an end around right in front of them.

Oh, and before anyone thinks Trump is an ego blowhard who has coasted through life, watch this video of him from 1980.

You can see the seeds be planted even back then.....

Way ahead of the curve relative to inner cities and real estate. One of the most dangerous hood in Cincinnati was Over the Rhine. Now it is a hipster paradise. There has been so much gentrification and new construction in the urban core of Cincy the last 15 years it has been amazing. CBD got going even sooner.

I agree.

I think he has ADHD and needs to be medicated.

ADHD drugs, a big glass of soy milk, and he could be a good democrat.

Nah, we have enough of those

You don't get it, do you ?

Trump IS the medication.

Heck, honestly, I couldn't care less if he talked like Porky Pig or Sylvester as long as he keeps doing what he's doing. By the way, that video of Oblunder did sound like Porky but he also did things like him.
