Concluding Unheard Speech Report

 Popehat puts it the way I should have:

Sometimes I get home from a long day of work utterly exhausted and broken and just DONE but my wife wants to chat and I love her so I talk and Trump sounds just like that without the love or sense of obligation

/2 Something I tell young lawyers is that the absolutely essential part of oral advocacy is that you have to find something you believe in, something you give a shit about. Maybe it’s that you‘re right about the argument! Maybe it’s that your client has been treated unfairly! Maybe….

/3…it’s just that you give a shit about a system where everyone gets someone to stand up and speak on their behalf. But you HAVE to give a shit about something, or your audience will hear it in your voice and you will lose.

Trump sounds like he doesn’t give a shit.

/4 Now, he’s CAPABLE of sounding like he gives a shit: like when he’s being bigoted, or reviling someone, or bragging about himself.

But this? He genuinely doesn’t give a shit and you hear it in every word.

Or: why I turned it off after one minute. It really was that bad.
