Maggie Haberman Says Trump Speeches Are Getting ‘More Rambling’ and ‘More Incoherent’

CNN commentator and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman observed that former President Donald Trump is “more incoherent” than he used to be.

On Tuesday, Trump sat for an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, who peppered him with questions for just over an hour.

Hours later, on CNN’s The Source, host Kaitlan Collins played snippets of Trump’s appearance. During the interview, Trump said his longwinded answers are part of a “genius” strategy called “the weave.” At one point, Micklethwait asked Trump if he would seek to break up Alphabet, the parent company of Google, for being a monopoly. The former president responded with a completely irrelevant answer about a Department of Justice lawsuit against Virginia centering on the state’s purge of voter rolls.

“I mean, he’s calling it the we’ve, but if his opponent was doing that, would he be so generous in his description?” Collins asked Haberman.

“No,” she replied. “And I think that he has challenged his rivals’ – both of them – mental acuity over and over again. Look, we are used to seeing him have a discursive speaking style, but it has gotten more rambling. It has gotten more incoherent, and it’s gotten longer. That’s the other thing, is that if you look back at the speech lengths from a couple of years ago, they were much shorter when he was in office. Now, they are 75 minutes, 90 minutes. His aides have been working to try to get them down for a while. But no, I think calling it the we’ve is PR to try to explain why he’s talking this way.”
