    Trump talked like that since the first time he ran for president in 2000, in his case it’s deliberate.

      But is it really?

      Trump was described by one of his college professors as the dumbest student to ever walk through that class.

      His “business empire” has been a long string of outright stupid decisions. If he wasn’t born rich, he’d be that one guy constantly losing his life savings on get rich quick schemes.

      As it is, Trump actually lost a lot of money trying to get rich(er) quickly.


      Also, saying that Trump talks like an imbecile on purpose is like saying he shits his pants on purpose.

      If he could string a coherent sentence together, he would. If only to stop people from making fun of his stupidity.

        Trump was described by one of his college professors as the dumbest student to ever walk through that class.

        That professor seemingly still passed him, which says something about that professor’s standards.

      It’s not deliberate. His decline just started before he ran for president.

      There are videos of him giving interviews in the 90s. He was still himself, but he had no trouble keeping track of what he was talking about and getting through several sentences on a single topic. Seen side by side the difference is quite stark.
