41. This tells me he speaks from memorization ... and he's not really THINKING about what he's saying.

Inside his brain is a library of memorized phrases, talking points and applause lines. When not using a teleprompter, he just pulls them out randomly and strings them together to form sentences ... with little regard to its relevance and propriety.

Every speech, every interview, ever press conference ... always the same points with very little deviation (but sometimes in a different order).

I guess that's to be expected, but I was hoping he'd try harder.
