But it didn’t really matter that he was fact-challenged and memory-challenged, because that is true every day. It’s perhaps more important that he said, “We have our lives. We have our schedules. And nobody’s going to change it. So we’re here. And let’s have a good time.”

He has few filters in normal discourse; during his rallies he has zero. I can’t stand to watch them but I think his rally speeches give a truer picture of what and how he really thinks.
Is it my turn to say, what an asshole?
