1. Thanks for making it so easy!

[lame54]

2. Flatulence

[mercuryblues]

3. When he won in2016,

I called him the sorest f'n winner I've ever seen. I knew in 2020 that if he lost, there would be hell to pay.

[petronius]

4. I would say 'toddler' - everything is a superlative (e.g. "biggest disaster ever seen," "greatest achievement

in human history" ) and there's non-stop whining about how everything he doesn't like is "unfair" and "mean"...

[Sugarcoated]

5. To my ears

his speech speaking style is Hitleresque

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

6. incoherent word salad of bragging, blaming and grievances

[bedazzled]

7. He sounds like a braying donkey to me

Not to insult donkeys

Ugliest voice in the universe

[Midnight Writer]

8. Weaving. We are too stupid to understand the mastery of his art.

Even English Professors From Ivy League Schools can't "grok" it.

We can only hope to have a concept of an understanding of his weave.

It is his curse to have climbed so high the rest of us can't really see him.

He must be a lonely man.

[bdamomma]

13. and

a sick and dangerous psychopath who wants his cult to follow his orders. He is unfit to even be in this election.

[magicarpet]

9. Insane asylum gibberish....

[Blue Owl]

10. Blithering Idiocy

[Tikki]

11. Weirdo style

Tikki

[SalviaBlue]

12. He sounds like a second rate insult comic.

I cannot stand his voice or cadence. However, I do not write him off as a clown. Even though he is deeply ignorant, he is malevolent and I believe there is a method to his madness… he is dangerous.

[Ms. Toad]

14. Stream of consciousness plus free association of concepts

By a man with no filter and no concept of the truth.

[0rganism]

15. I'd describe TSF's style, which we all-too-often underestimate due to its lack of substance, as "venomous rizz"

He's a con man extraordinaire whose fraudulent product is himself. Say what you like, his idiotic schemes have flamed out many times before, both famously and publicly, yet he still got his ass elected to the presidency. That takes talent and determination. He stands a chance to do it again, despite a lack of any positively-oriented character traits. Watch out for TSF, he's extremely dangerous, and his running mate is a vicious piece of work too.

We tend to mock and point and laugh at TSF's word salads and mumbling rambling pointless "weaves", but his true believers come away from his rantapaloozas feeling like they understood exactly what he meant. For them, every word is laden with meaning.

Don't confuse his lack of content for a lack of style.

[LeftInTX]

30. I agree. Also, I think his style "endears" them to him.

He talks like he's a commoner....I think he kinda plays it up too. He's getting older and not as articulate as someone younger. Might as well play it up and babble instead of force himself to be more articulate.

[a kennedy]

16. And his stupid ass followers love him for it.....🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[UpInArms]

17. Was looking for

Word salad

[Dave Bowman]

18. Bigly electric sharks n' Covfefe.

He should hire a translator.

[PeaceWave]

19. Melania claims he's a Master Debater.

[Permanut]

28. I see what you did there.

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Gish gallop word salad blah blah blah

[RussBLib]

21. Bombastic

Ostentatious
Grandiloquent
Mendacious
Grandiosity

[meadowlander]

22. Verbal diarrhea

[spanone]

23. Grating

[LudwigPastorius]

24. "Gibbering"

gibber
verb
gib·​ber ˈji-bər
gibbered; gibbering ˈji-bə-riŋ

intransitive verb
: to speak rapidly, inarticulately, and often foolishly

[LilElf70]

25. Totally unstructured, uneducated, moronic, and fucked up

[RidinWithHarris]

26. This poll needs a "threatening" category

Which would, of course, just end up as another ingredient in "all of the above".

It's important to remember how vital an element threats are to Trump's unhinged rhetoric. He excites and incites his base by threatening the people they hate, and he keeps the Republican party in line by threatening anyone who gets out of line.

[HarryM]

27. You missed one...

Obviously bullshitting.

[megahertz]

29. Bloviating

[Norbert]

31. He reminds me of barroom talk by 'the guys'

where, with several beers consumed, we proceeded to solve all the world problems in an hour's time, like bomb them back to the stone age, nuke Iran until it is a piece of glass, have a new continental congress, and at one time discussing that cats are not native to this world.

The difference is, we would go home, sleep, pee our 'processed' beer, try to rid ourselves of a hangover, if necessary, and go through the next day as normal and productive human beings.

We had an excuse, like alcohol speaking for us. What is his excuse? adderall? cocaine? chronic racism/misogyny/bullying? Character flaws? All of the mentioned?

[no_hypocrisy]

32. And he incessantly repeats the last five words of every sentence.

Not for emphasis, I suspect. I think he does it to try to remember what he's going to say next.

[DFW]

33. Stream of semi-conscious n/t

[gulliver]

34. TV preacher
