Trump has his own style of delivery. No one else should try this.
Although most sane people will agree with what he says, only the insane ones should try to say it this way. Read it aloud for best effect.

Late 2015 in South Carolina:
So Obama's always talking about global warming, that global warming is our biggest and most dangerous problem, OK? No, no, think of it. I mean, even if you're a believer in global warming, ISIS is a big problem, Russia's a problem, China's a problem. We've got lots of problems. By The way, the maniac in North Korea is a problem. He actually has nuclear weapons, right? That's a problem.
We've got lots of problems. We've got lots of problems. That's right, we don't win any more. He said we want to win. But we don't win anymore. We're going to win a lot - if I get elected, we're going to win a lot.

We're going to win so much you're all going to get sick and tired of winning. You're going to say, Oh no, not again. I'm only kidding. You never get tired of winning, right. Never.

But think of it. So Obama's talking about all of this with global warming and the - a lot of it's a hoax, it's a hoax. I mean, it's a money making industry, OK? It's a hoax, a lot of it. And look, I want clean air and clean water. That's my global - I want clean, clean crystal water and I want clean air. And we can do that, but we don't have to destroy our business, and we don't have to destroy -
And by the way, China isn't abiding anything. They're buying our coal; we can't use coal anymore essentially. They're buying our coal and they're using it. Now when you talk about the planet, it's so big out there - we're here, they're there, it's like they're our next door neighbor, right in terms of the universe.........

Trump is the best pragmatist in history. That's why he has such dislike for Obama. Obama is the opposite of a pragmatist.

Nah. You'd be crazy to try to imitate him. That's what I'm saying.

Trump has it wired together. He just has a funny way of saying things. I don't think he'll be giving The Queen an iPod with all his speeches recorded and pictured. That's what Obama did. Now THAT'S crazy!

There are only small shreds of anything resembling coherence (or anything funny) in there. I mean...you don’t have to resort to jumbled world salad to be talking plainly like a “regular” person. I just don’t get the appeal of a President where his WH has to continually try to explain what he actually meant. And no, not a liberal.

Didn't you understand what he meant?
Seems pretty plain to me.

It’s not really plain when it could have been said something like... “I believe global warming is a money-making hoax. China isn’t doing anything about it. We have other pressing problems too” I mean...I gleaned that much as what I think he is talking about, but look at all of the half formed sentences and numerous repetitions used to say that.

There are eloquent speakers out there. There are also everyday Joes who can at least parse sentences and get their point across. Then there is this...style. Ineffective, to say the least.

Nah, good for him refusing to be a toady for some jackass.

This may shock you but "da President" is a pathological liar.
