1. Where's the video?

The article said that a video was shared, but I don't see it.
Do you have a link?

[highplainsdem]

6. Here's one tweet with it, now marked by Twitter as manipulated media:

Some other tweets with it that were being shared widely have now been deleted.

8. That's a video of the manipulated one

I'm looking for a link to the one that was not manipulated.

10. The video that was widely shared was the manipulated one, which is why I thought you meant that one.

Here's a tweet with Daniel Dale with the transcript of the longer statement, and a tweet from Trump's Rapid Response spokesman with full video of that part of the speech:

11. Yes, I saw the transcript

but I'd like to see the original non manipulated segment of Trump's speech.
Wondering if it's available anywhere.

[highplainsdem]

12. I just posted it for you -- the second tweet there has the longer video.

[Mossfern]

14. Ah, thank you

My issue was with the "swift and sweeping" word salad. I thought perhaps the original video didn't have that.

I've been an elected official, I've made speeches - there is no way that that his words make any sense except that he seems to consistently have language brain farts.

15. Trump tends to misread the teleprompter, and then try to cover up the mistake by saying the

correct word and then pretending he meant BOTH words.

2. Trumpy-Boy is not tethered to reality. But that's no surprise. n/t

[Doug.Goodall]

3. Trump's speech was a lie.

How do you edit a lie to become a lie?

[FM123]

4. I must be CNN because that's what I think every time that idiot opens his mouth, lol

What. Are. You. Talking. About?

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Perhaps that word salad was deliberately crafted

along with the response he tweeted in expectation that the news media would jump all over the ambiguity in his speech. He wasn’t expecting CNN to provide cover for him.

7. More proof that the letters 'CNN' are a psychotic trigger for trump*

Also another example of how he has the attention span, reading skills and cognitive abilities of week old road kill.

9. Trump won't understand the word "dispelled." n/t

[marybourg]

19. Even I don't understand it as applied to an inanimate object

or recorded verbiage. It usually refers to a transient belief.

13. 50k likes for t vs 980 likes for CNN.

Cult doesn't care about truth.

[dreamland]

16. His delivery is so bad that it needs to be debated

It's no wonder we are a confused country. He makes it so that we hear only what we can coherently piece together from his word salad.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. So Trump is attacking CNN for fact-checking and dispelling the fake video?

[tenderfoot]

18. Jeff Zucker and Trump are buds - don't buy his CNN bashing, it's all for show.
