“What do you think they [protesters] want?” Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. “What do you think they need, right now, from you?”

 

Here was Trump’s answer, verbatim:

"Protesters for different reasons. You’re protesting also because, you know, they just didn’t know. I’ve watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren’t able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.

“But a lot of them really were there because they’re following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we’ve seen it over the years. We haven’t, you know, this was one horrible example, but you’ve seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I’ve seen it, too. I’ve seen it before I was president. I’ve seen it. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s a disgrace. And it’s got to stop.”

    Just one of his usual bizarre non-answers where he has no idea what they’re talking about and thorws out some mishmash that he thinks might be applicable.

        LLMs would easily be a better president than Trump. Like, it’s not even close.

          The way he talks works exactly like an LLM tho. He just starts out and keeps talking based on what word would go well after the previous word without any coherent thought behind the answer.

            LLMs have actually moved beyond that now. That might’ve been true in the GPT 3.5 days.

            Computers keep getting smarter while Trump keeps getting stupider.
