    Are those ellipses for skipped text or to represent pauses in his speech?

      It’s how he speaks. I am a foreigner and when he first came at the head of the USA, the journalists didn’t know how to translate his speaches. Usually, the sentences have one meaning that you can translate into one sentence, thanks to the context. With him, it’s a couple of sentences with no link and the last sentences have absolutely no context. You just can’t translate this.
