Now I do concede that one would not call any of that ‘literate’ or deny that it constitutes ‘word salad’ and we should all slow down to appreciate the nonsensicalness but also the poetry and evocation involved.
I have seen quite a bit of word salad from Biden too. Does the same reasoning apply? What are the evocations?
I see Biden as having cogent things he intends to communicate but sometimes failing to speak them coherently, while Trump is a pure stream of consciousness sometimes, stringing together loosely related concepts like a GPT.
(This isn’t the same as cognitive capacity, mind you. Trump is certainly more intelligent than many people who speak more legibly.)
I haven’t seen a “word salad” from Biden where I can’t go “okay, here’s the content he intended to communicate”, but there are plenty from Trump where I can’t reconstruct anything more than sentiment and gestures at disconnected facts.
