      Trump doesn't speak in full, coherent sentences, because he's speaking a different language, one his followers understand but we don't.

      It's fascinating in a "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" sense. He begins a clause, and finishes it with nonsense filler words.

      But his followers have already used their bias to fill in meaning.

      This isn't a sentence. It's three sentence fragments strung together that only make sense if you fill in meaning.

      Sweden didn't take in large numbers of anything the night before, nor did they have problems taking in large numbers. No, this is innuendo.

      And none of us know what it's supposed to mean because we're trying to reconstruct logical sentences, and not filling in with our biases.

      The sentence makes perfect sense to his followers. A large number of muslim refugees caused problems that the lying media isn't reporting.

      This style of speaking reinforces the biases of the listener, that's why it's so dangerous. We can't treat it as if Obama is speaking ConLaw

      Trump "says it like it is" by saying the first part of a thought and letting the listener fill in the rest. Exactly as it is in their mind.
