Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 18, 2023

The panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" was alternately stunned and amused by Donald Trump's speech on Friday where he seemed to give evidence he believes he's running against former President Barack Obama and then warned about the risk of World War II. After running a clip from Trump's speech given at the Pray, Vote, Stand summit, where he complained that President Joe Biden is "cognitively impaired" and then suggested he was leading Obama in the polls for the 2024 election, co-host Joe Scarborough burst out laughing.

Focusing on the former president's assertion, which was given while dramatic music played in the background, that Biden could plunge the U.S. into World War II, the MSNBC host shredded Trump's cognitive capabilities.

"He thinks he's running against Barack Obama," he said. "He said Joe Biden could lead us into World War II. That's going to be a heck of a bumper sticker for the 2024 campaign... Maybe you can tell us why Donald Trump thinks he's running against Barack Obama and we're about to enter into World War II."

"Spoiler alert on World War II: I like our chances, I like our chances," panelist Johnathan Lemire joked before adding, "Yeah, it does seem the former president was rather confused in the speech that he delivered in Washington as he mixed up his political opponents with one another and then warned that President Biden would lead the country into a conflict that ended nearly eighty short years ago."

It's one thing to get confused about the topic you're speaking about, but it's completely another thing when you're trying to claim someone else has lost their cognitive abilities while simultaneously proving beyond a doubt your own are in obvious question.

Again, everything Trump accuses others of doing are the very things he's either done or applies to himself instead.

In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York ... The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.

"Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets' red glare, it had nothing but victory."

The fascist right has been cherry-picking Biden speeches for years now. He makes it easy for you with his speech impediment. The clearest indication that the fascist right has no defense of their orange overlord is for them to immediately pivot away from his obvious brain worms into a "whatabout Biden?" comment. Congratulations on losing your argument out of the gate!

Another fascist trying to change the subject in defense of the cognitively impaired game show host.

Here's another quote from your guy:

"I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don't have a musical instrument. I don't have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we've broken a lot of records. We've broken virtually every record. Because you know, look I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don't need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important."

Here's another one:

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous " whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light " and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

Bring it on

If I have to chose between the two, I'll chose Biden for a number of reasons. Honestly I'd rather we had someone else for a Dem candidate. Both of these present contenders are just too old. Both are having memory issues and we don't need that in a POTUS. I'd rather the whole senate and house got replaced with younger members. What we have at present is a disgrace in stalemate, more about party than about the good of the nation. I fully expect a government shut down at the end of this month as the GOP has become unruly and unable to govern. They can't even agree on a budget.

Trump is giving an ad lib speech, he is bound to misspeak sometimes. Biden is reading a speech off of a teleprompter that he practiced in the mirror and can't even manage to read it live. Morning Joe is really reaching now to try to make this a thing.

Trump's speeches are a combination of teleprompter + ad lib. Literally everyone knows this so I don't understand what you are trying to prove here. If you are claiming 100% of Trump says at his campaign rallies is written on the teleprompter, then you are even a dumber ------- than I thought you were when I kicked your teeth when you didn't know stock represented ownership in a company.

He reads from a teleprompter. That's the script. When he goes off-script, his is the looniest crazy old uncle act going. Except it's not an act.

Actually, it was the reverse, which is actually worse: he mistook E.Jean Carol for Marla Maples. BTW, the blonde standing next to him in that picture was Ivana, his first wife (the one who claimed he raped her in the divorce filings). Apparently, he hadn't gotten around to raping Ms Carol yet (per the judge).

He's a "-----" kind of guy, huh?

It worked out great for Trumpy. Republicans made sure it wasn't even investigated.

So we will never know why Donald J. Trump and 18 of his associates had at least 140 contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, (according to a New York Times analysis).

Joe Biden has a speech impediment (he stutters). T***p makes fun of disabled people and has a 4th grade, monosyllabic vocabulary.

Dude is bragging about how he beat Obama in 2016, is running against Obama again and thinks that only he can prevent WW2 from happening. That was just this week.
