I don’t know what intelligence is, but I know this: Trump has more verbal improvisational ability than any presidential-level politician in decades. On a typical day, Barack Obama,Hillary Clinton,John Kerry and Mitt Romney express themselves like androids with rudimentary AI: They repeat tested, empty phrases; they reach for focus-grouped generalities; they are so careful that they say nothing at all. It is a heroic task even to pretend to pay attention to them.
That, evidently, is what pundits and professors demand: a wax head perched over a nice suit, with a realistic mouth that actually moves. That’s what they think of as sanity and intelligence. For them, the essence of responsible and inspiring leadership is that you know exactly what your president is going to say before he says it. If a leader expresses himself like a particular human being or behaves like an actual organism, he has no place in the Hall of Presidents and First Ladies.
Sorry, this is painfully stupid. America really needs to get off this anti-expert, anti-intellectual, pro-seat-of-your-pants bullshit. The POTUS should absolutely be a professional, controlled person who knows what they're going to say. It's called fucking leadership.

Fine, i can agree with the overall point of this but do you actually listen to Trump speak? The guy can hardly form a sentence. He is like me on RM. Or mikejasond or whatever. Articles like this are reaching for anything remotely redeemable about Trump and his personality. Its setting the bar really fucking lowBirds in Hell wrote:Playing to type, I enjoyed this piece from the WSJ:
