yeah… quoting a randomly picked sentence from him makes him sound like he actually thought about or means what he is saying, but in context it is often stream of consciousness, sometimes contradictory, sometimes him explaining vague intuitive viewpoints backed up with random lies, mis-remembered hearsay and BS. Sometimes I almost feel like the reporting takes him too seriously because I dont think he even is serious or believes half of what he says. Real Trump reporting has to dig deeper into what is motivating him to say what he is saying rather than the words themselves. Which goes back to my original point that quoting him directly doesnt serve much journalistic purpose.
