Yes they are horrid at messaging and that is not likely change so what is the point of focusing on it? Barring impeachment here is there for four more years and shows no signs of getting any better at not saying dumb shit. They pride themselves on not being PC and not prepacking and testing everything before they say, or hell even making sure it is true.
At this point it seems more likely we will spend the next four years more focused on what they say than what they do. If that happens than he may be right and he may have a much better brain than we give him credit for.
