Good point and to be honest I hadn't considered that. Whether that'd end up being good or bad is debatable

The other thing I notice is Trump sounds pretty articulate in those calls. He's still unprepared (or just lying about basic facts), but he at least is coherent.

But those were early on, there's been some talk about Trump's apparent decline in his ability to speak unscripted. Compare those transcripts with recent interviews with the NYT and Wall Street Journal, where putting together a coherent paragraph seems like a struggle.

Not that I necessarily think he's suffering from some brain ailment or something, getting old and stress and lack of sleep could account for the deterioration.
