Who is less capable of formulating intelligent sentences, Trump, Bush or Miles?

Trump:

“ … there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign, but I can always speak for myself — and the Russians, zero.”

Miles:

"When I wake up in the morning and I turn that film on, it's like reading a book and it's exciting. I don't read books. But if I read books, it would be like reading a book."

Bush:
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.


I gotta say Miles is basically Cicero compared to Trump. I taught in the ghetto for five years and I think my students were more eloquent than Trump. As a Republican I was ashamed of Bush's oratory ability but Trump is another level of embarrassing. He speaks like a loser.

At least they don't think there are 57 states and they can probably pronounce simple words like corpsman

In interviews Trump gave in the 1980s and 1990s (with Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, Charlie Rose, and others), he spoke articulately, used sophisticated vocabulary, inserted dependent clauses into his sentences without losing his train of thought, and strung together sentences into a polished paragraph, which — and this is no mean feat — would have scanned just fine in print. This was so even when reporters asked tough questions about, for instance, his divorce, his brush with bankruptcy, and why he doesn’t build housing for working-class Americans.


Research has shown that changes in speaking style can result from cognitive decline. STAT therefore asked experts in neurolinguistics and cognitive assessment, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists, to compare Trump’s speech from decades ago to that in 2017; they all agreed there had been a deterioration, and some said it could reflect changes in the health of Trump’s brain.

Trump fluently peppered his answers with words and phrases such as “subsided,” “inclination,” “discredited,” “sparring session,” and “a certain innate intelligence.” He tossed off well-turned sentences such as, “It could have been a contentious route,” and, “These are the only casinos in the United States that are so rated.” He even offered thoughtful, articulate aphorisms: “If you get into what’s missing, you don’t appreciate what you have,” and, “Adversity is a very funny thing.”

Now, Trump’s vocabulary is simpler. He repeats himself over and over, and lurches from one subject to an unrelated one, as in this answer during an interview with the Associated Press last month:

“People want the border wall. My base definitely wants the border wall, my base really wants it — you’ve been to many of the rallies. OK, the thing they want more than anything is the wall. My base, which is a big base; I think my base is 45 percent. You know, it’s funny. The Democrats, they have a big advantage in the Electoral College. Big, big, big advantage. … The Electoral College is very difficult for a Republican to win, and I will tell you, the people want to see it. They want to see the wall.”


Shame what happens to someone's mental acuity when they age. I firmly believe we shouldn't elect someone older than 60.

It could be worse. He could need a full time nurse with him 24/7, a diazepam pen, and a van loaded down with medical equipment everywhere he goes.

Between islands tipping over and too much consuming going on to liking your doctor and keeping your doctor to passing it to see what's in it to Muh Russians, I'd say the Democrat voters, hands down, are the dumbest group in this Republic.
