"how much the reporting of #Trump necessarily edits & parses his words, to force it into sequential paragraphs or impose meaning where it is difficult to detect... presenting information in as intelligible a form as possible is what we are trained for. But the shock I felt hearing half an hour of unfiltered meanderings from [Trump] made me wonder whether the editing does our readers a disservice”
