He's just been reading at a podium nonstop in a monotone voice from a cheap three-ring binder for the past 45 minutes while off to the side there are various groceries just sitting there. Including breakfast sausage which is just melting in the sun.
Honestly, wasting good breakfast sausage like that deserves a fifth indictment in and of itself.

(2,937 posts)I don't play the videos, can't stand to hear his voice, but I wondered about the food. He probably forgets it is there. Also the post said he was rambling about windmills and eagles. We know the windmill rant, that's an oldie, but what's the deal with eagles now?

"This is inflation," he said of the comparison in sizes, adding that he doesn't know anything about the company, which makes mints.
But, he said, he gave them some free advertising by referencing the mints.
"They are so lucky," he joked. "This is the greatest commercial they ever had."
Trump used the mints to illustrate the surging prices of food and other grocery store items.
The problem? The small pack is one of multi-pack economy package with "pocket-sized" dispensed mints. And they are sold at Big Box stores at a hefty discount, so his point proved the opposite.
Of course, this isn't the first time he's pissed off Tic Tac's maker:

(1,783 posts)They sell them at Walmart, and a lot of them have tiny food things in there (not real, for playing with).
At any rate, it's a stupid comparison and bound to fail because Trump simply doesn't understand what the fuck he's doing or saying.
Say what you will about Ronald Reagan, and I hated him with a passion, but hand that man a script and point him to his mark, and he could talk so damned good even his enemies half-believed him.
Donald Trump, not so much. They've been trying to reboot him for three weeks and nothing has stuck. I think the Botox is making him worse, since they're giving him notes now.
