Trump is incapable of speaking intelligently. He riffs slogans and repeats fantastical and false narratives.

"The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else. No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words and the presence of others, and hence against reality as such.”

― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

Trump is a deranged, cognitively impaired Eichmann.
