For anyone curious, this is a more full context:

"One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We have 15 people in this massive country and because of the fact that we went early. We went early, we could have had a lot more than that. We’re doing great. Our country is doing so great. We are so unified. We are so unified. The Republican party has never ever been unified like it is now."

Sane people don't communicate this way. Even people who perform poorly when publicly speaking (such as a GW Bush, who was famous for verbal stumbling) don't begin to express themselves so chaotically with spoken words.

It's exceedingly difficult to understand this man, and I daresay that anyone who claims to really understand what he's saying (meaning) is choosing to live a fantasy.

This is true of all disastrous leaders, the provide no real leadership apart from publicly courting their acolytes.

The actual leadership they should be providing (giving clear direction to those who will be acting on their wishes) is so lacking that all the decision makers below them have to make up their own mind what the "leader" actually wants. And so ensues chaos.

I realize this is probably your point - but the statement is even WORSE with context!
