Donald J. Trump has one skill as an orator.

People say that he "gish gallops", layering on assertions so thick and fast that it's hard to keep track, and while that's true, he has better pacing than a Ben Shapiro, who's just bloody annoying. That's not his whole schtick.

Trump's monologues may be word salad, but they're packed with catch-phrases, and the ones that get a rise at live events will be repeated. Like a jingle.

When Trump speaks, all I hear is hypnotic repetition.

Oh the irony. To squeeze more out of less at Xitter, Musk will bring back a manager from his tunneling firm to boost productivity by firing more people.

The man's wife runs a real estate firm, maybe they'll be able to secure a hole large enough to push the platform into it, and we can all pretend none of this ever happened.
