Trump's Word Salad Speech That Would've Got Biden Impeached

In a few short remarks, the president revealed he has very little knowledge of the U.S. economy; is incapable of remembering where his own representatives or aides are and cannot stay awake during an early afternoon public appearance, Holly Baxter writes.

More: "Where's Dan?" he asked, scanning the crowd. Dave McCormick, seated beside him, had to quietly inform him that all the representatives had stayed in Washington.

"Oh, they're in Washington working on our next bill? Good!" Trump replied. "Now I don't have to mention their names, although they're watching on television, I guarantee."

He laughed nervously as he said it, in quite an uncharacteristic way, and then trailed off while muttering, again, that it was "good" that "they" are working on something in D.C. It was oddly difficult to watch.

The 79-year-old president then struggled to pronounce the name of one of his own White House aides, before saying, "They tell me you're doing great." And, as the spicy dressing on the word salad, he added a bizarre aside about Unabomber Ted Kaczynski being a great student ("It didn't work out too well for him" in the end, however, according to Trump, a conclusion that clearly demands intellectual rigor beyond the everyday man or woman.)

Was Ted Kaczynski a Shylock?

The Unabomber story was a complete fabrication. His uncle died many years before Kaczynski was identified as the Unabomber, so he made up in his mushy brain an entire conversation he had with his uncle about whether Kaczynski was a good student. It was not a funny story, not appropriate for the venue, and a complete head scratcher as to why he thought he needed to tell this blatent and easily checked lie in the first place. Diaper Donnie's dementia gets worse every day, and the MSM is eager to cover it up. Joe Biden was NEVER this bad at a public appearance and all we heard before he dropped out of the 2024 race was how old he was and how he was, with no actual proof, slipping mentally.

He said his uncle was the longest serving professor at MIT, which is also a lie.

If Trump's dad hadn't gifted this simpleton mountains of dough he would be pushing a stolen shopping cart across the street, hunched over, mumbling to himself about the time he and Theda Bara danced the light fantastic beside the canals of Mars with Ronald Reagan and Bonzo.

And Trump said his uncle taught the Unabomber while at MIT, which is remarkable since that isn't where the Unabomber went to college.

Where was the actual video to add context? Must not be available. Shocker

You mean the right leaning MSN like ABC, CBS and NBC? And Joe was NEVER this bad??? Fist he was hardly allowed to make public appearances except where he had a teleprompter and when he couldn't use one it ended up like the debate. Don't take my work for it, your party was the one that finally admitted it.

Even Lewsers get lucky sometimes ... .

(That would make a much better theme song for maga maroons than the Village people song. But being the Lewsers that they are Tom Petty would never give them the rights to use it.)

Trump's go-to is lying about most everything:

Leavitt Gets Irritated At Reporter Pointing Out Trump's Lie About Unabomber

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shows her disappointment when a reporter points out that President Donald Trump might have lied about his uncle teaching the Unabomber at the MIT.

...might have lied about his uncle teaching the Unabomber at the MIT.

The only thing that was true in that tall tale was that Lewzer had an uncle named John.

Leavitt is an unqualified whore.
