Just watched a replay of Trump's child care word salad.

It was precisely like a kid giving a report on a book he hasn't read.

Edited to say that I'm listening to Morning Joe right now saying the same thing. I swear I thought of it without hearing anything anybody else had to say. All I had seen at the point that I posted this was the clip.

[CatWoman]

1. this is the best representation I have seen about that speech

[Walleye]

2. And his fans think he's brilliant. Something is wrong here.

[CatWoman]

3. ....

?si=8j_rHQKeJJwpISm7

[NJCher]

11. I've always thought this

He puts it into words and explains it very well.

[doc03]

13. I don't think Trump has an IQ of 73. He may talk dumb but he is a genious

at manipulating stupid people and the stupid media to get what he wants. Look at the people in the clip
they sit there and listen to that bullshit without busting out laughing.

[CatWoman]

15. there is nothing genius about Trump.

nothing.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Well, at the least, he is very clever & skilled about using other people's money and the media. . . . . nt

[bluesbassman]

33. At his core he's nothing but a narcissistic conman. They are a dime a dozen.

And have varying levels of intelligence. The difference with Trump is that he had virtually unlimited funding to back him and an extremely well connected ethically and morally bankrupt father who greased the skids for him. Had he not started with that advantage he would have been a petty criminal at worst and a dirt lot used car salesman at best.

[Joinfortmill]

28. I suspect it was Donnie's older brother, Fred the pilot, who had the brains in the family.

[MyMission]

39. Don't forget his smart uncle from MIT

He got most of the brains.
Fred's kids seem to be quite sharp, and they speak up about their uncle and why they don't support him.

[Beck23]

30. A con man

He's a con man and salesman replaying on an endless loop. He also may be playing dumb some of the time to appeal to the uneducated, like George W. Bush when he used words like misunderestimated.

[world wide wally]

45. Trump is far from a genius, he just has NO morals or even a conscience so he will do outrageous things

that a normal person would not do. Most of these things are immoral or illegal but to him it is business as usual.

[lastlib]

25. Someone in the 1988 campaign posited "Bush's Law:"

"A politician will be successful in direct proportion to his ability to convince voters that the bullshit he's feeding them is actually whipped cream."
The Felon has the gift. It's beyond me why people swallow it. Hydrogen and stupidity, I guess.

[whathehell]

54. No..The people in that clip are

members of the New York Economic Club -- not his usual supporters.
If they clapped and refrained from laughing it wasn't because they lacked intelligence.

[malaise]

8. The clapping was worse

Than the answer

[Walleye]

10. Yep, mass hypnotism or something

It’s pretty scary

[gab13by13]

14. I agree

The emperor was standing in front of them with no clothes on, and yet they pretended he was elegantly dressed.

[malaise]

16. Ding ding

We have a winner 😀

[malaise]

19. Lawrence

😂😀😂

[hay rick]

49. That's my boy! Donnie TaxCutsForTheRich!

[fargone]

51. Agreed, but the woman who asked the question did not clap

[Irish_Dem]

22. It's exactly how they gave book reports in school.

They think it is clever.

[ck4829]

50. Very wrong

[Cosmocat]

4. This is why the Joe age thing was complete and total horseshit

nm

[riversedge]

5. Trump has a HUGE library of those "books" he has not read, yet gives reports on them

on a regular basis. And each time, the Maga fans cheer him on to give more!!

[Solomon]

6. It reminded me of the South Carolina Beauty pageant contestant.

?si=CB5l1ue1j5RQsQ8-

[3catwoman3]

43. Oh, Lordy, Lordy - that is a perfect comparison.

I’d forgotten this mercifully short little gem. One of the most painfully funny clips ever. I’d have wanted to sink thru the floor and never be heard from ever again.

[ariadne0614]

7. Morning Joe played it at the end of the last block, followed by this clip

. . .from Billy Madison:

?si=dzwhWHpuq2CMuXO7

[doc03]

9. Morning Joe played a clip of Bart Simpson doing a book report. nt

[Susan Calvin]

12. That would be right on.

And the fact that most of the mainstream media isn't reporting this is journalistic malpractice.

[Botany]

29. I was thinking Gabby Johnson's "Frontier Gibberish."

&t=2s

[malaise]

42. Authentic frontier gibberish?

That was one great movie - an ageless classic😂😂😂

[Oopsie Daisy]

17. I love making that analogy too. It fits so perfectly! He's Clueless!

So, like, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is, like, totally about this bird, right? I mean, not just any bird, but, like, this super cool Mockingbird that's causing drama in the hood. It's all about this kid, probably wearing a rad outfit, who's like, "Whoa, this bird needs to chill!" But then, surprise! The bird's all about spreading love through its song, like, totally misunderstood, you know? And there's this lawyer guy, like, swoon-worthy lawyer vibes, who's trying to, like, defend the bird’s honor or something. Drama, intrigue, and, like, bird justice, you feel me?

Okay, so, it's called "Catcher in the Rye", right? It's gotta be about this dude who's, like, a pro baseball player, but he's totally over it. He's, like, done with catching those flying baseballs and just wants to, I don't know, catch some peace and quiet in a rye field or something. And then, there's this twist where he meets a group of rogue farmers who teach him the true meaning of life through... rye cultivation? It's deep, man.

There's this book and you can see the title on the cover is "Old Man and the Sea," it's, like, this epic tale of a dark and stormy sea where this old dude, wearing all black, is battling, like, his inner demons while trying to, I don't know, conquer the sea or something. It's a metaphor, you know, for the deep, dark abyss of the human soul and the relentless waves of despair crashing against the shores of... um, existential angst.

[dlk]

18. What was sickening was the enthusiastic applause from the wealthy attendees of the Economic Club

They are his true enablers.

[malaise]

23. Lawrence

https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/lawrence-new-york-s-stupidest-rich-people-clapped-after-trump-said-child-care-is-child-care-218733125666

[MorbidButterflyTat]

40. Thanks for posting this.

That group may be stupid like Lawrence said, and they probably are, but I don't think that's why they clapped.

The people on the stage beside him looked uncomfortable, glazing over with fake interest, shifting in their seats. If the audience hadn't started clapping, he would have just kept babbling, and probably would still be babbling right now, this minute. I really don't see that applause as agreement or approval, I think it was about shutting him the eff up.

Also, his makeup person did a shit job.

[malaise]

41. So you think the clapping shut him down?

Interesting

[mn9driver]

44. His recitation of "Make. America. Great. Again."

Was, I think, the applause line. He emphasized each word to make sure the audience was ready to start clapping. And they did.

[malaise]

52. Agree

Eff them all

[DENVERPOPS]

21. Perhaps it is part of a plan

for the Republican's to dump Trump as a candidate at the last moment, and substitute some Republican who is more electable?????
The Dems can't exactly call foul................

[nature-lover]

32. Or reassure R's to go ahead and elect him and JD will be doing all of the work.

[niyad]

36. No, IF the nightmare happens, I don't give anus mouth 4 months before his "coronary"

or a fatal stumble, and misognyist scum couchhumper will be president, with thiel and the other insane billionaires pulling the strings. My onky question is, what hateful pos would thiel/he install as his vp?

[DENVERPOPS]

55. OR

they can always change out JD for a better VP, then do the 25 on Trump.............That way they don't have to worry about getting the 70 Million Trumphumper's votes until it is past history and they don't need them anymore......

Everyone should be expecting all kinds of corrupt shit from the Republican Party in these future months. Maybe even "October Surprises" EVERY WEEK with a HUGE one two weeks before the election, like they are known to do since Carter/Reagan.......
They are going for broke this time around, fully pissed off that they didn't pull it off in 2020.
The Republican Oligarchs and Corporations are also throwing train loads of financial support to the down ballot elections in the House, Senate, and State Governors.......which is definitely more frightening in a way.........

[GoCubsGo]

24. That's pretty much every damn speech the guy gives.

I'm glad people are finally bringing it up, but this kind of thing isn't exactly new. It's like his unwillingness to prep for debates. He prefers to go out there and wing it. He just spews whatever enters that empty space between his ears at the time.

[Joinfortmill]

26. His brain is fried from all the Adderall he reportedly takes.

[Beck23]

27. Child Care

Trump and JD want to live in historical times when they had lots of free child care provided by tradwives and really cheap immigrant ladies. Everyone one was responsible except the patriarch.

[yellowcanine]

31. Every couple of sentences he remembered the actual

question and randomly stuck in "child care". It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
Almost sounded like a Monty Python script.

[marble falls]

35. We'll let you get away with that excuse this time, but next time we expect a time stamp.

[Bitbit]

37. He seems to be getting worse by the day and yet

I’m reading long time Democrats are leaving the party to become Republicans and vote for trump.

I don’t think it’s many and I hope conservative outlets are making a mountain out of a mole hill but HOW CAN AN INTELLIGENT HUMAN VOTE FOR TRUMP!
Sorry to yell. The article was on a Fox affiliate but it named several known persons including former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero who announced at the Capitol Wednesday that she's switching parties and will register as a Republican.😱

[Sinbad43]

38. Not Rambling, Incoherent

Serious mental disorder.

Way more troubling than Biden in previous debate!!

[ck4829]

47. Yep

[ck4829]

46. K&R

[FakeNoose]

48. Chump spoke like that even back in 2015 and 2016

... but the US media never showed his incoherent ramblings. They just edited him in print and made it seem like he spoke in complete sentences. They showed Chump in soundbites and nobody had a chance to hear his word salads.

That's why so many Americans voted for him! They voted for a fake person that the media created.

Yes his incoherence is worse now, but it was always there.

[underpants]

53. (Explanation not an excuse) We can guess what his advisors are like

I can’t imagine they really have any real input. They can’t promo him on anything let alone suggest a policy position. He’s all knowing and any suggestion otherwise looks like disloyalty.
