      There is no way to know wheher he spewed out that word salad without confirmation.

      Almost half of eligibile US voters voted for him in the last two elections and will again this fall. Those voters get a disproportionate number of electoral college votes.

      It should be terrifying, but at this point it is just depressing that so many in this country would rather listen to some trust fund rapist criminal sound like someone actively having a stroke than admit that their fellow citizens are people who derserve rights.

                Your sentence makes 0 sense if you know these are recorded lmao. “We can’t know without the proof that exists but I haven’t looked for”.

                No wonder Trump is going to win with people like you on the other side who can’t even make a coherent point.

                  Get some sleep then go back and read the first post again. The whole post, not just the first sentence.

                  Then name any other politician where you wouldn’t dismiss this kind of word salad as a 4chan troll meme without confirming first. You can’t do that with Trump, it is necessary to confirm whether or not he said it by watching the video.

                    I will agree that the first sentence just doesn’t make sense, and isn’t connected to the rest. Maybe you meant something like “it’s disappointing that this is so typical that people don’t even have reason to look for confirmation when with any other human we’d be skeptical by default”. As written, it just says implies there no confirmation, then starts bemoaning the quote that was said. I guess you meant that confirmation would be a way to know, but to raise that question implies generally skepticism about confirmation.

          But then I would have to watch a video of Trump gibberish.
