this clip was played and discussed. Very disturbing and makes a lot of pieces click into place. The lack of computer use; he dictates his tweets to an assistant and the assistant posts. Inability to offer evidence of any preparation or study for assuming the position he is occupying. All the long pauses and excuses; he doesn't wear glasses, but whenever he has to read, he's forgotten his glasses, etc. This guy is functionally illiterate, God help us. The maniacs around him can have him sign ANYTHING, and he wouldn't know the difference.
