All politicians will talk around a question they don't the framing on. Trump's talent lies in his dogged refusal to even engage the topic of the question, even as a launching point for whatever tangent he wants to talk about. He just digs in and repeats whatever excuse he believes will show that he's right and everyone else is wrong.

It's pathetic.
