    Psst, news people, stop following him around, he likes the attention and does nothing but lie to you on camera. Find other sources for your reporting and stop showing me videos of that guy talking forever.

      I have all of Google blocked and my online traffic goes halfway across the planet so I rarely watch videos. But when I read even quotes of him talking I can’t make it all the way through. The level of patience needed to make it through that withering, meandering KFC coated throaty voice of his is something I’ll never have.

        I truly feel for the translators who have to interpret his utterances. I read the English version and it’s like hearing a book report from a kid who just skimmed the cover and is dropping nouns they recognized in between completely unrelated but extremely rude, false, or narcissistic statements.

          I’m multilingual myself and I really couldn’t imagine translating half of his sentences. And imagine doing it in a language where the word order is different so you’re caught waiting for the sentence to end but it just never does.
