This is basically useless without a place where you can use it to generate new random bodies of text on the fly. It's easy to cherry pick 10 good samples out of hundreds with the intention of attempting to fool people - maybe not so much if they're generated on the fly.

I scored 8/10, and the two I got wrong were both successes of 'RoboTrump' convincing me. In the other cases, it fell down by not having the characteristic short sentences and self-interruptions of real Trump -- so real, people don't believe how real -- speech.
This is remarkable, but is there a way for us to access this Trump text generator without lawsuit.org's curation? I'd love to pull back the curtain and see how many "tries" it takes to extract a convincing quote.<p>Edit: honest question, why are people downvoting this comment?
The thing about Donald Trump is this: Every time he utters a word or Tweets something, the media goes nuts and publicizes it. It seems completely crazy.<p>But remember: Donald Trump was never a politician before running for President as his first run. He was totally outgunned by several well-funded Republican rivals. He was totally under-funded compared to Hillary Clinton, who also had huge advantages in media and campaign machinery.<p>Yet Trump won. With his goofy, outrageous, cant-ignore-them tweets and statements. He won, 'bigly'. (Haven't heard that one in a while, huh?)<p>Some day, he'll be remembered as one of the most shrewd self-promoters in history. Deny it at your peril.
