      Yup. Trump was a master of the Gish-Gallop debate strategy. Basically, the goal is to overwhelm your opponents with arguments. Even if they’re not accurate or well constructed. The goal is simply to preoccupy your opponent’s speaking time with debunking your claims, rather than making their own arguments. Because claims are easy to make, but comparatively take a lot of time to debunk.
