Trump's Speech was half the words of Clinton but took about same time ?

Colbert had speech writers for obama and Clinton on his show to discuss the sotu. They said how trumps was 3rd longest and Clinton held 1st and 2nd place. But they were close in time.

But that Clinton's speeches had about twice as many words as trumps.

So Trump is REALLY SLOW.

Or he was trying to sound dramatic and "presidential".

He's one of the worst speakers I've ever had the displeasure of having to endure.

Guess that would make sense as one is a Rhodes Scholar and the other is a stable genius.

And let's not forget he had to catch his breath about 497 times while snorting through that hot mess of a speech. No exercise and a diet of 10,000 calories doesn't help.
