‘The Third Hour of AM Talk Radio’

E.J. Dionne: “The display on Tuesday simultaneously violated all norms about presidents eschewing the rankest form of politicking from the White House and shredded all rules for speaking comprehensible English. Trump has supported English-only policies. Maybe we should apply them to presidents who claim to be using that language.”

The Post’s Matt Viser nicely captured the vibe when he observed that Trump’s comments had ‘the stream-of-consciousness feel of the third hour of AM talk radio.'”
