ProfessorGAC
(65,297 posts)If it's in English! I actually generally knew what sparklemoose was trying to say, no matter how poorly she said it.
I can't even begin to decipher this gibberish. I don't speak eperanto. Maybe he does and i just don't get it. (Nope, that ain't it.)

(59,594 posts)At least have the courtesy to shut your gangrenous, dripping piehole.
At least let the adults handle the next 22 days before you and the rest of the toddlers burn the house down.

(90,794 posts)you think it sounds wise when delivered from your gold-plated porcelain throne.
His followers, equally as confused by his mutterings, will decide the shortcomings are their own, so Trump must have said something deep and profound.
HoneyBadger
(2,297 posts)I actually believe that he was not involved in the hacking simply because he seems to have a very vague idea (at best) of who uses technology, how, and for what. I just can't see him saying this is the plan, we spear-phish Podesta's gmail, then we throw it on a flash drive and meet with Julian's guy......

(1,148 posts)...who is anti-technology. He is appealing to superstition and paranoia. I really don't trust this guy on civil liberties, either.
Retrograde
(10,168 posts)At least not when it benefits him. I doubt he understands all the technology behind an application like Twitter, but he's happy to use it. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have a clue as to how the physical world works - and no noticeable interest in finding out.
As far as civil liberties go - I'm with you there.

(11,018 posts)The intellectual difference was great between the Big Dog and Smirky the Chimp. But Smirky didn't word salad. The orange menace is a distraction his whole self. Not just his tweets. A distraction from what GrOPer Congress and the Evil Cabinet are going to do to us.

(86,009 posts)...it was a trumpean attempt to blur and obfuscate from his position against any action at all against Russia.
Quite an amazing attempt to deceive.

(6,046 posts)We need to move on from this talk about investigating the hacking of the DNC and blaming Russia. This internet gives us speedier communications but it can never be really secure and there is no way we can ever find out who is doing the hacking.
It could be that 400 pound guy sitting on a bed in New Jersey, or a 300 pound guy sitting on a toilet in New York City. It could be some nasty 200 pound woman in California. We can never know. My point is that if we get rid of private email on the internet , we solve the private email hacking problem.
Then we call all just tweet and you will know what I am saying to you, and even better, I will know what you are saying to each other. That way we will be on the same page
and we can move ahead with our lives-me in my luxurious penthouse at Trump Tower and you at your...wherever.
The senators are planning an investigation of the hacking. After my inauguration I will explain to the senators that they don't need to investigate because it is impossible to find these hackers; that we know its not the Russians-because Russia is our friend and Putin is my BFF; and besides, I have already solved the problem. The senators will agree.
I have to explain to the senators "over time" because my Homeland Security appointee says it will take several months to complete their individual dossiers.
gordianot
(15,249 posts)He says does something outrageous then escalates to the next act. All the while people (supporters and detractors) say I can't believe he just did or said that. Incredulity is Trumps only friend while your head is spinning he moves to the next big thing. He will eat up investigations because he knows they happen at a snails pace. Trump counts on people and really poor short term memories.
BeyondGeography
(39,388 posts)Seems to be the limit of his expository powers.
gordianot
(15,249 posts)Trump asked a foreign power to hack not only his opponent but a former high level government official. He is taunting everyone you do not know what is going on and if you once knew you have already forgotten.

(146,339 posts)grammar and proper use of language. Gibberish happens. That's why some people, including myself, try to encourage people to write clearly, spell properly and use correct grammar and punctuation. When we have a President-elect who cannot speak or write in understandable English, we're in trouble, frankly. We're not "grammar Nazis." We're trying to help people express themselves more clearly.
If everyone took the time to read what they write and make corrections before publishing it, we might make some inroads into improving the quality of our communication. It's worth the time. It helps.

(12,686 posts)Reminds me of gibberish search key word sentences that people used put at the end of Usenet posts back in the late '90's, early 00's - or refrigerator magnet phrase kits. It's certainly comparable with those bits of performance art.
My five year old grand-daughter can construct more coherent sentences on the fly when she's trying to get her thoughts across when excited about a situation.
