Now, it will be just pure bias to say that Donald Trump was all rubbish at the just concluded second US presidential debate. Unlike his outing at the first one, we could see that the man came to this debate better prepared. Though he couldn’t help being petulant, interrupting opponent Hillary Clinton and attacking moderators for giving her more time to speak (which wasn’t true most of the time), Trump gave a generally better performance.

That said, Donald Trump’s inability to answer questions and pass messages logically and coherently was distinct at last night’s debate again. These 3 responses filled with repetitions and ramblings are proof:

When asked by moderator, Anderson Cooper about the video tape that was released on Friday, where he bragged about sexually assaulting women, Trump said:

I don’t think you understood what was said. This was locker room talk. I’m not proud of it. I apologized to my family. I apologized to the American people. Certainly I’m not proud of it, but this is locker room talk. You know when we have a world where you have ISIS chopping off heads, where you have men frankly drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sites all over where you have so many bad things happening, this is like medieval times, we haven’t seen anything like this — the carnage all over the world — and they look and they see. Yes, I’m very embarrassed by it. I hate it. But it’s locker room talk and it’s one of those things. I will knock the hell out of ISIS, we’re going to defeat ISIS. ISIS happened a number of years ago in a vacuum that was left because of bad judgement and I will tell you I will take care of ISIS.

Hillary Clinton was questioned about statements she had made in the past as regards having private and public opinions on certain issues. She said it was a strategy that worked for President Abraham Lincoln in his time, but directed the focus of the question to claims that the Russian government has been allegedly hacked into US sites, including Wikileaks. Clinton asserts that Russia is making these concerted efforts to influence the election in favour of Trump. He responds like this:

She doesn’t know if it’s the Russians doing the hacking, maybe there is no hacking. But they always blame Russia and the reason they blame Russia because they think they are trying to tarnish me with Russia. I know nothing about Russia. I know, I know about Russia but I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia. But as far as other elements of what she was saying I don’t know Putin. I think would be great if we got along with Russia because we could fight ISIS together as an example. But I don’t know Putin. But I notice anytime anything wrong happens they like to say the Russians we don’t know if it’s Russian.

In 2014, Trump had talked about meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin and receiving gifts from him, the same man he claimed not to know last night.

An audience member asked the candidates if they can be devoted to all Americans. Trump’s response in reference to Black people:

I will be a president for all of our people. And I will be a president that will turn our inner cities around. And will give strength to people. African-Americans. The inner cities. Devastating what’s happening to our inner cities. She’s been talking about it for years. As usual, she talks about it, nothing happens. She doesn’t get it done. The same with the Latino Americans. The Hispanic Americans. The same exact thing, they talk, they don’t get it done. You go into the inner cities and you see there’s forty five percent poverty, African-Americans have forty five percent poverty in the inner cities. The education is a disaster. Jobs are essentially nonexistent. I mean, it is — you know and I have been saying it in big speeches where I have twenty and thirty thousand people what do you have to lose? It can’t get any worse. And she has been talking about the inner cities for twenty five years. Nothing is going to ever happen.

Linking the entire African-American folk to American’s inner cities where poverty is deep-seated is disparaging and misleading and Twitter was quick to respond:

African Americans and latinos don't all live in inner cities. Some live in #sandyhook and have kids that get shot in classrooms. #debate
