Hopefully the media will give Trump's cognitive issues - as demonstrated by his rambling speeches - more scrutiny, now that Biden has withdrawn. I fear they won't but you can but hope.

It’s not incomprehensible.

It doesn’t read well, but that’s the way he always talked.

Hugh, with reliable tedium, has posted the transcript as some kind of “gotcha”, when you could do it with any speech he’s ever made in the last decade.

In what world does that make sense. It's inane drivel.

If you're a Trump cultist, it makes perfect sense and gives the Bard a run for his money. If you're anyone else it is exactly as you described.

It doesn't, just more ramblings from a total lunatic.

I think Bletchley Park would have had a few problems with that one.

I think his delivery of it, as stream of consciousness, is certainly better than it appears as a wall of text without paragraphs.

In terms of a speech I find his stream of consciousness more authentic than something that’s been run over by seven speechwriters and five focus groups. He usually gets something worthy of social media - his self depreciating comments about his hair were classic Trump comedy lines. It’s better than:

“It’s great to be here in <name>, isn’t Governor/Senator (delete as appropriate) <name> fantastic.

Five minutes on national security

Five minutes on the economy, in particular any local issues that might have reached national attention. Quote some economic stat that’s probably irrelevant to most people - the Nasdaq or mortgage approval rates.

Five minutes weaponising Roe v Wade

Five minutes accusing the other party of stealing the last election, or comparing the other to Hitler <delete as appropriate>

Vote jfman 2024!”

However, I do think just as with calling into question Biden it’s entirely appropriate to call into question Trump in this regard. Trump would be older at inauguration than Biden was in 2021. Does America want another declining old man as leader?

What’s a “Trump cultist”, when he’s at home….?


There’s a few “cultists” on here, no doubt…..not sure Trump is involved though…….

If you're one of those people at a Trump rally with slightly glazed eyes clapping enthusiastically as the Don rambles on, then that ticks my definition of someone who it makes sense to.

Yep, it is. I suppose someone else who talks incomprehensible drivel might understand it.

I didn’t listen to the speech, so only the transcript Hugh posted, to make sense of.

"These killers, these killers, these, they're sharp, you know, the Press gets angry, they said, is president Xi of China, is he a smart man? I said, no he's a BRILLIANT man, he controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist, he, makes guys like Biden looks like babies, they don't know whether they're coming or going, yes, he's, the next day headlines: Trump calls him brilliant how dare...No, no, okay, let's say he's not a smart man, okay, whatever makes you happy, no matter what you do, no matter what you do, I say he's a brilliant man, they went crazy, because I called him brilliant, so I'm just going to have to say, he's okay, he's okay... No, he's a very smart, but, and, and you know what else? He's a, fierce person, you understand that?

So here he’s commenting that he thinks Xi of China is a very good dictator, that controls his population with an iron fist and how gets a lot of flack from the press for saying so,

Some of the people here know that, what this means, especially some of the women, right? They know better than the men about fierce. I know the women, they know better than the men, THEY'RE MORE FIERCE THAN THE MEN! Oh her! Her! But, no, he's a fierce individual,

Here he’s waffling about the use of the world “fierce” in the common parlance it is used in the US.

he's a fierce man, can you imagine when he meets this guy? He thinks Trump is playing a joke on him. He actually thinks there's some kind of, that I'm playing a joke. He doesn't believe what happened. He doesn't believe the last election. He doesn't believe. He thinks I'm playing a joke on him.

Referring to him losing and Biden winning the last election, and saying that Xi thinking it must be a joke Trump is playing, that Biden is the President.

But can you imagine President Xi, Putin, all of them, they're all smart, tough, they love their country, or they wanna do well with their country, whatever it is, all ideology. But we have to have somebody who can protect us, and Orban was right, we have to have somebody that can protect us.

Referring that strong countries require strong leaders

Right now we have really low IQ people in there, we have, and the president in particular, he has about a seventy IQ, and he's going against two hundred and ten, it never works out, it never works out, WHEN I'M BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!"

Referring that Biden had an IQ of 70 and he has one of 210 ( citation needed), and that he’ll win and be back in the White House.

I’m around to interpret future monologues if required.
