Trump Veers Speech Off-Course When He Sees a Fly

A particularly confounding moment in Trump's Wisconsin speech came when the former president began talking about a hat - although he never came back to that line of thought, so it's unclear whether he was speaking about his famous red campaign merch. "Remember, there's a hat that's made, that sells like crazy - oh, there's a fly," Trump said. "I wonder where the fly came from."

"See, two years ago I wouldn't have had a fly up here. You're changing rapidly. But we can't take it any longer. We can't take it any longer. It takes centuries to build up the unique character of the United States of America. Centuries and centuries, it goes on forever."
AP is reporting that tonight "Fly Flies For Harris/Walz" - hosted by Mike Pence's debate fly, Headley - collected $3B fly-dollars, reaching their goal of having each domestic pest give at least $1 fly-buck.

No spokesflies were available after the event since the entire party congregated at the dumpster where Trump's overloaded Depends were placed after his rally.

Wow, just friggin' wow...

Not normal': Social media reacts after Trump makes bizarre comments about a fly he's bothered by on stage
www.independent.co.uk

... Former President Donald Trump expressed his frustration over a fly that approached his lecturn in a bizarre moment during a rally speech.

Trump was on stage at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, making a point about a hat, when he appeared to get distracted by the creature.

"Oh there's a fly," the former president said. "I wonder where the fly came from?"

One audience member shouted out "Kamala."

Trump continued: "See, two years ago, I wouldn't have had a fly up here. You're changing rapidly. We can't take it any longer." It wasn't clear who or what the president was referring to before he changed the subject.

The internet was quick to react to Trump's unexpected outburst, with MSNBC host and legal analyst Katie Phang saying "this is not normal."

Meanwhile, American Bridge 21st Century, who describe themselves an a Republican accountability group, said: "Trump is exhausted and struggling to stay on track. He begins a story about a hat, but gets distracted by a fly and never finishes. He starts a entirely new story and struggles with the word "unique." ...

When they inevitably pull Lewzer off the ticket do they have to put Vance on top and pick another VP candidate, or can they just put Joe Rogan or Kid Rock in the top spot and leave Vance where he is?

Trump: I could have been sunbathing on the beach. You have never seen a body so beautiful. Much better than Sleepy Joe.

And what attracts flies?

Trump said. "I wonder where the fly came from.

It came straight from his diaper.

As a horse owner for most of my life I can testify that flys are attracted to manure.

And also the dead or dying. It's something about the smell. It's like they have a sixth sense.

Trump is comedy gold for SNL.

There were conspiracies being spread by MAGAts the fly that landed on Pence's head during the debates was trained by the Democrats to do so.

Bet you Trump believes that and was worried the fly was sent there to land on him.

I disagree. SNL is at its best when it takes something dumb that a politician says or does and amplifies it and makes it hilarious.

With Trump, reality is more ridiculous than fiction.

If you look closely the errant fly buzzing around Trump wasn't even a real fly.

It was a robot ~ a miniature drone if you will, sent by the evil Kamala Harris to disrupt Trump's pearls of wisdom to his adoring followers.

Was the fly looking for Pence?

Flies come from MAGAts. Obviously.

And yet, he still has your vote.

Big fan of making it illegal to criticize judges?

Or just excited for cops having a purge day?

"So pretty much, as we've been saying ... and what I want to do is, I want to be able to ... look your business. Years ago in this area, I was honored as the Man of the Year. Was maybe 20 years ago, and the fake news heard about it. They said, It never happened. It never happened.' And I didn't know who it was. It was a group that honored me as Man of the Year. The fakers back there ... see the fake news ... but they said, they said, Oh. And they looked at it, you know, they said it never happened. But I said, I swear to you, it happened. It did happen.' I was Man of the Year, and I came and I made a speech and said, Why do you allow them to take your car business away? Why do you allow it to happen? They're taking your business away.' And I didn't know too much about ... all I know is they were taking your car industry away from you. They said it never happened, and lo and behold, somebody said, I remember the event,' and then we found out, and we had everything. We got the awards. We had everything. It did happen, but I gave a speech, which at the time was pretty controversial."

The question was:

"With many jobs being outsourced as we speak, what actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America so we can continue to build the best cars in the world here in Michigan," asked the voter at the event in Warren, Michigan.
