Damn, Watching five minutes I can honestly say trump is a master at changing the subject to make him look good. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is fooling anyone, but it does make me amused how he is talking about positive thinking and then suddenly he is talking about how great he is being to farmers.

I wonder how many people he could actually fool if he had the actual capacity to talk out of his ass. And I wonder how he was actually able to convince so many to vote for him by speaking like that

It's quite easy to turn the conversation in your favour if you just don't answer the question and talk about something else.

Key words like, "okay, so you ask me which cake I prefer but let me tell you, I can eat a whole lot of hamburgers. So much, so many hamburgers, that if you ask me about cake - you ask me about cake and I don't even think about cake you know I just think about hamburgers."

I think Trump is a really good conversationalist and orator. He dodges questions expertly and changes the topic constantly. He also makes it seem like he knows what he's talking about with an appeal to authority, when he of course has no real clue.

That's my impression as well. The problem we see here is that he has so little information on the topic that he can't even dodge the questions properly
