the interviewer is typically on a time limit. They have to eventually move on. If things get hung up, the interviewer will have his/her producer in their ear screaming, "You're being boring! Move on! Next question!"

Trump knows that, and he has his word salad carefully planned and practiced over years of TV. He knows how to string it out so he doesn't have to really answer any questions.
