barely ever even saying "umm."

His "umms" are when he repeats a phrase or says something like "And we have the best, most awesome health care system in the world."

Most of his verbal habits that the media attack him for are because he is isn't speaking off a teleprompter.

As someone going into the world of media, I have actually learned a lot from him in this. It fits with his “never apologize for anything” mantra. Instead of giving an “um”, he sorta of rewinds 5 words and turns what others would have be an “uh” or “um” into essentially a point of emphasis about his previous phrase while resetting up his next thought

But the thing is, they're endearing. I love listening to GEOTUS. Like a favourite grandpa who gives no shits

No just that, when he repeats his sentences or injects new superlatives, it makes his sentences extremely hard to taken out of context.

He is like a surfer carving up a wave swift turns of direction that captivates the listener and leaves the MSM trailing in his wake.

I love it when he cuts back close to the by playing ignorance to their underlying motives (like he did with Acosta the other day) and the power out back infringe of them with a subtle change in direction.

Best communicator I have seen.

No problem. Thought it was very relevant after the task force meeting today.
