I’ve actually found that your typical write-up in the NYT will take whatever word salad the actual speech was, and clean it up until Trump actually sounds like he had a point. A 5 minute ramble on North Korea will be turned into something like ‘Mr Trump vowed to stand up to North Korean aggression’ or whatever, basically just reading tea leaves. If you actually never saw video of him and went off what people wrote, you’d think he’s just your average Republican.
