“Baffle them with bullshit” has been a saying for quite a while. But with Trump it’s more like “give them a stupidity migraine.” The stuff that comes out of his mouth hurts my brain to hear it.
You can’t help but to try to parse some meaning out of his words. They sound like English. But he assembles them in an arcane order where the harder you try to understand him, the less anything he says makes sense. He is like a human word cloud where you just have to infer the message based on the biggest, boldest words.
So yes, it’s hard to beat an opponent in a debate when you have to try to understand what he’s saying in order to form a cogent counterpoint. His audience of the hearing- and vocabulary-impaired only absorb the gist without ever attempting to parse actual meaning out of it.
It is truly a thing of wonder, and if the future of our nation didn’t hinge on it, it would be fascinating to explore. I hope future generations, unburdened by the threat of another Trump Presidency, might be able to study this and harness this power for good.
AI is at least coherent. You can understand it and argue or agree with it. Trump talks like someone who just blew a .3 at a DUI checkpoint trying to explain that he really hasn’t had that many, just without the slurring.
And somewhere in the middle of his explanation of how his aunt Patty accidentally ate a gekko tail once and cast a sobriety spell on him, and his great great grandfather was the famous Irish whisky distiller Terrance Trent Darby O’Gill and his descendants all naturally have that much alcohol in their blood genetically—the cop realizes his own night would be so much easier if he just just drove the asshole home instead of arresting him and having to listen to another 3 hours of that.
Imagine trying to think while a dimwitted centaur’s front end plays an invisible accordion to accompany his dementia-riddled and bigoted stream-of-consciousness.
What? What a weird statement.
I mean, if the goal is to flabbergast your opponent he’s the king.

Trump would rarely be the best debater in the room.
Even in an empty room
