Of course it is a pre-existing condition, look at all the votes the Democratic candidate got for POTUS, that couldn't have been a result of anything other than a pre-existing inclination to vote for any Democratic candidate.

We know who is stupid based on their threads and comments.

I surely hope, for the sake of those still in with their panties in a wad over the election, that there is mental health coverage as they surely need it.

Gotta hand it to Lewandowski. He never let's reality get in the way of a good BS line!

“And you know when you have a president who is so active, who is so articulate, who is so good at communicating with the media, sometimes you get staff that have to keep up with him. And it’s much easier, I think, if you have people who have a pre-existing relationship with him.”

I would have chosen the words "pre-existing condition".
Trump is more articulate than any other president. He can reach everyone with his plain speech better than the dance around political creeps who will not answer any question directly.

I don't believe you know what the word articulate means. Articulate means speaking clearly where everyone can understand you. This is what articulate means speaking clearly. Now the word pedantic comes to mind for people with large swelling words impressing the masses is what you believe is articulate . Wrong ! Look it up.

If he could "reach everyone with his plain speech" then he would have won the popular vote as well as the electoral college. If he was truly articulate he wouldn't need a bunch of people following him around to try to explain what Mr Trump means, a man who can't even use full sentences. Trump makes up stuff on the fly and is so inconsistent from day to day that no one with a functioning brain could claim he's a good communicator.

ar·tic·u·late

"an articulate account of their experiences"

However you try to spin it, articulate doesn't describe Donald Trump.

The amount of hyperbole that Trump requires his minions to espouse when describing him is utterly ridiculous and over the top.

I've never seen a President that requires SO MUCH ego stroking from his staff.

Yes, here's a perfect example of Trump speaking clearly and being articulate:

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Seems like someone has been studying the DPRK.

Next up: Trumps Olympic prowess and exploits climbing Everest!

Need anymore proof that this is a propaganda collective rivaling Kim Jong Un's?

Trump and "articulate" aren't two things I'd ever connect the dots on.

He is inarticulate.
