We interrupt this program to bring you a CBS NEWS Special Report

We bring you now live to the President of the United States.

"Fields and jungles of Vietnam. They delivered a swift and swip, and you know that’s sweeping. It was swift, and it was sweeping like nobody’s... ever seen anything happen, a victory in operation Desert Storm. A lot of you were involved in that. A lot of you...were involved. That was a quick one".

We now return you to our regular programming, already in progress.

... when it is so obviously another case of Trump projecting onto someone else.

you say anything about the election. I guess number two is him being Obama's VP.

I hope Biden uses this to his advantage somehow.

That can’t even jar his muddled thoughts any more. July 4th, the day trump showed the entire world how sick he really is.

Before the accident you said could never happen… Since then you have felt your mind decaying a little more each day. You have watched your wife slip into imbecility. You have seen the crowds growing murderous with animal terror, the President of the United States babbling and drooling on TV…

Not true, but I am absolutely sure there is more garbage coming from Trump.

it was labeled as "manipulated media" on Twitter because of the fact that the shortened video apparently implied that he was linking Vietnam to Desert Storm.

However, I don't think that was the issue at all. The issue is the words that he used, and the words that he stumbled over. Even in complete context, he makes absolutely no sense. What is typed in the OP is what was said, verbatim.

I apologize to you in that that I may have come across as not believing you. I did some research after reading what you typed, and you are correct in saying that Snopes and Twitter did indeed address the shortened video because of the apparent linkage of Vietnam to Desert Storm.

Have a good morning/day.

But the issue is his inability to form sentences and convey meaning. Listening to trump is like when you get a text from someone that didn’t use spell check or review their post before they send it. You have to piece things together and make mental corrections to figure it out.

Comparing Trump's speeches to completely hosed up texts. "Inability to form sentences and convey meaning". Well said.
