Uh.. I’m starting to understand why Trump’s aides are trying to limit his public appearances down the stretch.

Donald Trump’s speech to Detroit business leaders Thursday night contained a truly bewildering riff about “Biden circles” and their beauty.
The former president has made headlines over the course of his campaign with strange speeches about whether it’s better to be electrocuted or attacked by a shark and giving unintelligible, rambling answers to policy questions. Trump has defended his free-wheeling, sometimes unfollowable oratory style as a deliberate ploy he calls “the weave”—but his latest effort looked more like unraveling.
During Trump’s speech at the Detroit Economic Club—which included a segment insulting the city of Detroit, prompting condemnation from the mayor—the Republican nominee was speaking about how American manufacturing can be affected by other countries’ tariffs before veering off-topic into a discussion about Elon Musk, rockets, and, for some reason, circles. “It’s very sad to see and it’s so simple,” he said, continuing:
“I mean, you know, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land. Or he gets the engines back, that was the first I realized—I said: ‘Who the hell did that?’ I saw engines about three, four years ago. These things were coming—cylinders, no wings, no nothing—and they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom.

Trump appears to be referring to circles on the ground used as a social-distancing measure at President Joe Biden’s campaign events four years ago during the COVID pandemic. Trump was seemingly reminded of them by SpaceX’s reusable rocket boosters because they land on circular targets painted on drone ships. What any of that has to do with tariffs is anyone’s guess.
The circle ramble wasn’t his only bizarre aside during the speech.
“The word ‘grocery,’ it’s a sort of simple word,” Trump said at another point in his address. “It sort of means like everything you eat. The stomach is speaking, it always does.”

“Trump Baffles Everybody with Bizarre Babble” is all you had to say.
All he says is word salad hate speech.

My theory is that Trump just recently failed the clock drawing dementia test and is now obsessed with circles as a shape.

It just pisses me off so much that the media won’t even acknowledge his lunacy. Can you imagine if Biden was saying things like this? It would be a loop on faux news for weeks, the NYT would have a new headline every hour about his decline.

It may be the height of perfect ironic timing that Trump was minimized while he said this and a giant ad showed for “BUY MIKE LINDELL’S PILLOWS, 80% OFF!”

You know, usually with these articles about Trump talking nonsense, I still kinda get what he’s getting at, even ifs delivered in a rambling, circuitous, confusing way. You can figure it out from context and familiarity with how he speaks.
This time I have no fucking clue what he is talking about.
FitWrap1959 on
Now that Musk and Trump are buddies, maybe Elon can gift him with a brain implant that will keep him within his platform, similar to the SpaceX rocket landing system. He still won’t make any sense, but at least he wouldn’t start talking about the color of baboon bums or whatever.

He’s not really campaigning. He’s just going out there on stage to ramble on for a couple hours. Then the media will sanewash what he says. So what he says is actually irrelevant. He will win if they can cheat enough. If not he’s toast.

I had read the transcript and articles about this strange speech. My girlfriend was surfing YouTube and played the clip. The strange voice and his expressions and rolling eyes are quite worrisome. I kinda dislike the guy so I had to leave the room. She apologized and was so shocked she let it play. Both of us figured out way back when Cohn’s creation first became a sensation for the MSM that Donnie had no substance.

I love that his dementia is so bad that he’s truly incapable of understanding that Biden literally dropped out and that he’s no longer the candidate in which Trump is going up against. In the padded room he calls a mind he probably thinks that Harris is just campaigning for Biden.

Weirdly enough I totally understood the circles babble! It was some sort of Biden speaking event where everyone was socially distanced and sitting in marked measured circles. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/22/fact-check-joe-biden-events-smaller-because-covid-19/5780898002/
It’s still dementia babble based on something that happened 4 years ago but he was referencing an actual event!
