incoherence

An unnamed Democrat who witnessed candidate Biden being prepped for a taping prior to the 2020 convention in Milwaukee was startled by his incoherence, commenting that it “was like watching Grandpa who shouldn’t be driving.”

A more contemporary judgment is that of economist Justin Wolfers of the University of Michigan, who on Tuesday put his finger on the fundamental incoherence of Trump’s policy:

Add to the mix that Trump frequently holds court at Mar-a-Lago, where a rotating cast of gossipy, power-hungry strivers bears direct witness to his incoherence and unpredictable behavior.

They worry that the full insanity and incoherence of what Trump says every day on the stump is lost in the snippets of his speeches that make it to news broadcasts.

After Tuesday, Republicans who were going to vote for Trump despite his increasing incoherence and lack of impulse control can feel better about it.
