As someone who spends a fair amount of time transcribing people's natural speech patterns, Donald Trump is no more incoherent than most people. He gets fucked over in transcription a lot as well. They make no effort to put in the complex punctuation that's implied when he is personifying (inaccurately, but not the point) the words or position of someone else, nor do they insert an em dash when he has clearly jumped to a new thought.

We should expect someone in his position to be more coherent, absolutely--but the reality is that people with no experience generally speak in badly fragmented phrases when they are put on the spot. We should be far, far more concerned with the message/falsehoods he conveys than how stupidly he conveys it.
