Donald ("The best education is money" ) Trump is saying: "And here's a thought I just had this morning: Student SWAT squads! . . . Is that great or what? . . . I mean if the kids care so much about other kids. . . . And if some get shot, heck, they'd get shot anyway. . . . And we'd be saving on Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. . . . Big time. . . It's WIN-WIN_WIN the way I see it. . . . How come nobody else can think of these things? . . . Is everyone brain dead but me?"

but we try to channel our subjects' essence to satirize their stupidity, hypocrisy, cupidity, gullibility, etc.

But I think they wisely left the "error" in, slightly disrupting the smoothness of address to indicate the sharpness of the frustration that leads to the tongue-tripping we often do at such points.

"Look, having nuclearmy uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smartyou know, if youre a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the worldits true!but when you're a conservative Republican they tryoh, do they do a numberthats why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortuneyou know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because were a little disadvantagedbut you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers meit would have been so easy, and its not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was rightwho would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisonersnow it used to be three, now its fourbut when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they havent figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, its gonna take them about another 150 yearsbut the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
