Word salad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A word salad, or schizophasia, is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases", most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The term schizophasia is used in particular to describe the confused language that may be evident in schizophrenia. The words may or may not be grammatically correct but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them. The term is often used in psychiatry as well as in theoretical linguistics to describe a type of grammatical acceptability judgement by native speakers, and in computer programming to describe textual randomization.

As former President Donald Trump took the witness stand on Monday to testify in his civil fraud trial, CNN anchor Kate Bolduan was shocked at how apparently incoherent his testimony was.

In particular, at one moment, Trump seemed to suggest his properties were both valued too high and too low.


"His take on his — his description of his involvement in these financial statements, and it seems somewhat from the quotes coming out like a word salad on the stand," said Bolduan. "And some of them ... I thought that the apartment was high, and we changed it, and earlier, he said that he thought that the values were off on the financial statements at times both high and low, and ultimately Mar-a-Lago was underestimated as we heard him say outside of the court, and then he said, 40 Wall Street was very underestimated for tremendous value."
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

"And the attorney, and one of the state, Kevin Wallis, one of the attorneys seemed visibly surprised when he said both high and low, and pausing to review a transcript before asking Trump to elaborate."

New York Attorney General Letitia James is alleging Trump and his two adult sons systematically lied about the value of their assets to get more favorable loan deals, and is seeking $250 million in fines and the dissolution of the Trump Organization companies.

Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled on the merits in summary judgment, making the trial primarily about the scope of damages
