C’mon you kids. You’ve never watched a whole trump speech before?
Oh it’s a fearsome sight. Some never recover. But if you make it through you will become enlightened.
The fascinating parts are where he does make sense. They’re very few and far between, but it’s kind of this uncanny valley where he almost seems sort of normal for a second. And then Whammo, some neuron goes down live and the linguistic section just convulses until the crowd applauds again. It’s like a window to an alien world.
Plus you really can’t appreciate how odd his voice is from the clips. It’s this squealy tenor that sits in the back of his throat and gets scratchy because he can’t stop talking and doesn’t sleep. Imitators just can’t do it.
Then you get those old guy bushy eyebrows and beady, bloodshot eyes darting around looking for money and coke and it’s just - it’s a thing.
