That was so stunningly a bad assessment of Trump, it takes one's breath away.

Trump speaks his mind. Why was this supposed to be a good thing? Abusers, liars, con-men, bullies, sociopaths, narcissists, psychopaths, dictators and murderers all speak their minds.

It's the content of one's mind that counts. Garbage within, garbage out.

"A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury..." is one way to speak your mind.

"This is a terrific investment. You'll make 10% per month, every month, forever!"

"I'm going to murder your children before your eyes. See how you like that!"

It's the content of the mind that is speaking, not the mere fact of speaking.
