There is a sense that politicians rhetoric needs to be explained and understood. Because they are experts at waffling non-statements.

But also, it is important that people see when politicians are blabbering incoherently. Because that is also part of the message these people are presenting.

In Trumps case, of course, that he is utterly batshit. A fact that some people are not really getting yet.

Or maybe I don't wonder all that much. 🙄

I guess to avoid the scary likelihood that there is none.

That ‘message’ is still incoherent OR must be read as a loud ‘fuckyou’ to the public.
