"These things were coming cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they're coming down very slowly, landing on a raft..."

[Miles Archer]

Trump in Michigan:

Trump: These things were coming cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they're coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle, reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have.. then I heard we lost

7. I pity anyone with ASL fluency that has to 'sign' his speeches!

They must get such headaches 😞

[intrepidity]

97. Lol, I never considered that

Now I'm very curious. There must be a lot of "blah blah blah" signs....what even does that look like?

[mucholderthandirt]

100. What's the sign for "this idiot is speaking nonsense"? We could make campaign signs with that, very nice ones.

[IzzaNuDay]

105. If I were an ASL interpreter for Orangina's speech

I’d probably sign WTF repeatedly!

[Oopsie Daisy]

2. What the fuck is he babbling about? This isn't rambling. It's not meandering. It's BABBLE-BABBLE-BABBLE.

[Botany]

40. Cylinders with no wings landing on rafts in ..

.... the middle of the ocean. What part of that don't you understand?

[Oopsie Daisy]

48. Ha!

[LiberalArkie]

61. SpaceX

[VMA131Marine]

62. That's what I think too

But Trump’s addled brain apparently can’t form the word “rocket.”

[charliea]

65. Rockets are passe!

He watched that movie "Arrival" with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. The alien ships float down without a sound and he thinks it's real...

[LiberalArkie]

76. DonOld Trump has never seemed like a person who ever had any interest in science at all and someone stuck

in the 70's. The the concept of a rocket being able to land safely on a barge in the ocean is beyond he comprehension

[Botany]

95. God forgive me I just listened to the video clip on this thread ...

…. those cylinders were the rocket engines of a craft that Elon Musk has that landed on
the moon and the rafts were in flat circles in the middle of the ocean just like the circles
that the Biden campaign had which they couldn’t fill up so they had people in the press
sit in.

Donny is well past his sell by this date stamp.

[intrepidity]

98. "Never interested in science?!"

He's practically a nuclear physicist due to his genetic relationship to his uncle John from MIT!

[Swede]

106. I bet there are sharks and batteries in the water.

I don't know which one I'd choose. Water, lots of water. Wet water.

3. He's f***en nuts...

[Rebl2]

4. What the.....

[rsdsharp]

5. What. The. Fuck. Is. He. Yammering. About?

Biden’s eight circles? I think he’s conflating Dante’s Circles of Hell.

[Uncle Joe]

22. He's talking about when Germany bombed Pearl Harbor. n/t

10. Diarrhea of the mouth and the brain.

It is getting worse rapidly.

[dannward]

45. Catholic school sermon

When I was in grade school, Monsignor O'Sullivan once railed against "diarrhea of the mouth, constipation of the mind...."

No idea what the sermon was about, but that phrase has stuck with me for almost 50 years!

[obamanut2012]

11. The cylinders were fake ballots or servers

That floated onto rafts in the ocran, with bullseyes, and Biden also has bullseyes.

It is a maga CT

[ShazzieB]

46. CT?

Sorry, that's a new one on me.

[WestMichRad]

59. Conspiracy theory?

[ShazzieB]

64. Oh, that makes sense.

I'll bet that's it!

[Tadpole Raisin]

12. When the little F-CK goes to prison just put him in solitary with

a repeating loop of his speeches.

Oh, yes and a mirror.

[Dave Bowman]

77. Mmh, he would probably love that. He's the bestest public he can have.

[patphil]

13. Trump's stream of unconsciousness in it's full glory.

He'd have to have an upgrade to attain the level of idiot.

[Drum]

14. Argle McBargle

[duncang]

15. Okay I did something stupid.

I listened to the whatever that was on the link. It was even worse than just that quote. The cylinders were spacex rockets and I have now idea what the 8 circles President Biden had. Something something about other countries.

Whatever it was it wasn’t a weave it was more like a hairball he just coughed up.

[tetedur]

34. Could the circles be social distancing circles used during the Covid-19 era?

[duncang]

54. No idea.

To me there wasn’t anything that tied together or made sense. Something about other countries tossed in. I forgot about the Covid circles. I was wondering if he was saying President Biden was making crop circles in other countries. I mean he couldn’t even rattle his head enough to remember what a rocket is. His brain short circuited and went with cylinders.

[intrepidity]

99. The "we've been abused" is him talking about

the assasination attempts (from Iran, he thinks) and, in his crazy mind, from not having adequate SS protection. At least that's what my own "weave enabled" brain inferred...

[PedroXimenez]

16. when did you start seeing the beautiful circles, Donald?

[WarGamer]

18. SpaceX landing reusable boosters...

[Skittles]

55. did they fill the Biden circles?

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. I guess he's referring to how Biden kept supporters alive, while Trump killed his

The discrepancy in supporter turnout at Biden's and Trump’s campaign events is not a indicator of popularity, but rather the candidates’ opposing approaches to campaigning during a pandemic.

Health officials like National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins have expressed disapproval of Trump’s continued campaign rallies over the last several months.

"As a scientist, I'm pretty puzzled and rather disheartened," Collins said at a Sept. 10 CNN town hall.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/22/fact-check-joe-biden-events-smaller-because-covid-19/5780898002/

Trump, of course, killed Herman Cain with one of his crowded rallies. And then tested positive for Covid before debating President Biden. And then announced a few days later he had Covid.

So yeah, it seems Trump has kept those covid circles in his mind, since they formed part of him losing while killing his supporters.

[Ocelot II]

20. Are the cylinders in the room with us now, Donald?

What. The. Actual. Fuck was that?

[chowder66]

21. It looks like he's reading off the teleprompters. It makes me still think he pulls this shit

to use when it comes time to sentence him to jail. He can point to these videos and say..."See! I'm nuts!".

Maybe he's got some issues, maybe he's playing games, maybe it's a mixed bag.

[malaise]

24. The weave. See, but they cut him off before he could weave it all together.

[PedroXimenez]

35. the circles are indeed beautiful

but i wonder how many people at the Detroit Economic Club had any idea wtf he was talking about.

[Blue Owl]

28. Gettysburg... so beautiful and so horrible... I go there to watch....

Diarrhea brain Donny is OFF HIS ROCKER

[central scrutinizer]

32. Is Gettysburg where we destroyed the British airports?

I can’t remember?mm

[Permanut]

71. It's been a long time since I took history, but that sounds right.

[lonely bird]

83. I think it was where the French and Indians helped us...

Repel the Vikings from Greenland because Denmark wouldn’t sell it to us.

[PikaBlue]

84. Airports were destroyed during the American Revolution

Gettysburg was the site of a Civil War battle. Who taught your American history class? Geesh!

[Ocelot II]

29. How will the New York Times sane-wash this word goulash (not salad, which has identifiable components)?

Something like "Trump criticizes Biden for failing to fill his circles"?

[Coexist]

30. Trump's grasp of history impresses rally goers as Harris taps Obama to save her in PA

How's that?

[Ocelot II]

36. Good one!

[maxsolomon]

47. Likely, they won't mention it.

It's rare that they quote him at length or discuss the specifics of his speeches.

[niyad]

66. Sorry, but goulash (one of Hungary's national dishes) is stew/soup with

clearly identifiable components of meats and vegetables, unlike the questionable slop served as "goulash" in school lunchrooms.

To be fair, though, the Czech and Slovak languages use gulyas as slang for "mishmash"" or a complettely muddled lack of understanding.

[Ocelot II]

92. My apologies to the good cooks of Hungary. My knowledge of goulash

is exactly of the questionable slop served in school lunchrooms.

[niyad]

104. Google some of the many recipes online and enjoy, especially when cooler

weather sets in.

[Solly Mack]

33. Is he talking weather control machines?

Snicker

[Wiz Imp]

37. Here's the best explanation/translation I could find

Roger Sollenberger, senior political reporter at The Daily Beast, discussed Trump's leaps from subject to subject and recalled the image that Trump had in his mind. "So Trump says something that reminds him of SpaceX rockets and he decides to describe them landing on targets, then that image makes him recall another image of circles on the ground—social distancing at Biden campaign events 4 years ago—and he decides to talk about that,"

Mike Rothschild, a journalist and author who has concentrated on researching and writing about conspiracy theories for more than a decade, took to X to say that Trump's "lethargic and incomprehensible rambling" that went on for 90 seconds was before a "stone cold silent" crowd. However, he noted, there was a moment when someone clapped when hearing Elon Musk's name.

National security lawyer Bradley Moss asked if this is what Republican strategist and commentator Eric Erickson meant when he recalled, "'working hard to win it,' if I understand him correctly." But all Moss said he saw was, "an old man, drowning in bronzer, rambling about nothing.

[llmart]

67. And yet I have to believe that the Detroit Economic Club (aka all GOPers) invited him there.

Why? Better yet is will they vote for him? They are usually party over country anyway.

[tanyev]

70. I like presidents who are capable of coherently describing the thoughts in their head.

[lark]

38. Dementia Don in action, a slobbering fool.

Yuck!

[LoisB]

39. What, in the name of all that is holy is he talking about?

[dalton99a]

42. Fucking demented moron

[JoseBalow]

43. What a moron

[NBachers]

44. I am happy to inform us all that this makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

[-misanthroptimist]

49. If we had a media with integrity...

...these kinds of frequent incidents by TraitorTot would be on the news, before the first commercial break. Then we'd have the rightful discussion if this guy is fit to be President.

Instead, we have horse race polls, gossip, and reacting to the semi-coherent (but utterly hateful) blathering that he also does. Journalism in this country is dead.

[PurgedVoter]

50. Ranting Madman

I have seen families that could not admit to themselves when their patriarch had gone around the bend. Sadly my experiences with this does not lead me towards an optimistic ending. I don't know how to remove the scales from a cultists eyes, and I have seen this issue with intelligent and reasoned people. I expect that for MAGA members it will be worse.

I expect that we will see a few MAGA start to recognize thesymptoms, but don't expect a lot of then to come to their senses. They were T-baggers before they were MAGA. They have and I fear they always will support the meanest, authority they can find.
They will scream about what goes on in the non-existent basement of a pizza place while real evidence points to their cruel heroes.

I fear they will continue on till the last drop of Cool-Aid is consumed.

[TBF]

51. WTF ... I can sometimes figure out his themes

but I'm clueless on this one. His dementia must be worsening.

[RandySF]

52. War Of The Worlds?

[GreenWave]

53. Translation: Don't remind voters I gave Puta your Covid tests

Talk about this shit instead.

[brewens]

56. I just posted minutes ago. "What did you expect? I beat the guy from my basement!"-President Joe Biden on

election night.

I want to hear that!

[Diamond_Dog]

57. And nearly 50% of American voters think this complete idiot is fit to be President of the USA.

[LearnedHand]

58. Y'all he's obviously talking about those wingless cylinders

that control the weather. You know. After they're dropped in ocean. Tcha.

[valleyrogue]

60. WTF is he talking about? Crop circles? n/t

[Thomas Hurt]

63. SpaceX reusable rocket boosters returning to Earth. Trump is a fn idiot.

[niyad]

68. Okay, I listened to that whole clip (and now I need STRONG drink!!!), done in a

vague, almost whispery voice. He was in fact, taling about leon skum's little space toys, and then he started rambling about President Biden's circles at some campaign events during covid, and how he couldn't even get enough people to fill the "beautiful circles", and had to use press people, and then he supposedly won, even though nobody ever came to his campaign events, and how he (orange TRAITOR**) will never let that happen again. He has apparently forgotten, again, that President Biden is not running.

[yorkster]

101. Leon Skum. A perfect and permanent

name choice, in my book.

[niyad]

102. Credit to Keith Olbermann, I believe, but it is too perfect not to share!

[yorkster]

103. Thx for doing so, niyad..

[llmart]

72. I forced myself to watch the clip.

I only see clips of his incoherent babblings on DU and they are usually from RSBN. I know very little about that outlet but I think it's right wing news of some sort. But you never see these clips on regular news programs. This is what scares me. I live in the Detroit area and I'll bet my life that tomorrow we will not see this on our local news. Why? I think our news media has done our country a disservice by sane washing and not showing his rambling speeches. They sure had no trouble after Biden's one debate where he was under the weather.

Then I watched ABC Nightly News tonight with David Muir only because I wanted to see what he said was going to be the entire newscast focusing on the hurricane. Then what do I hear? David Muir saying, "The election is neck and neck." I can't wrap my mind around whether that is really true and if it is I start going down that rabbit hole of "What will I do if he wins?"

I might just be tired tonight, but I get discouraged from living this long and thinking about how did we get to this place in my lifetime and what would my WWII parents say if they were still alive after all they sacrificed for this country.

[RidinWithHarris]

73. I got the part about SpaceX reusable boosters, but the transition to "the Biden circles that he used to have"???

I haven't a freakin' clue what was happening in that Adderall-ravaged brain at that point.

[niyad]

93. See posts 68, 27, and 19.

[RidinWithHarris]

94. Thanks

Okay, it's not totally random, but it's still demented gibberish nevertheless.

[niyad]

96. Exactly!

[Metaphorical]

74. Space-X Booster Rockets Landing?

I THINK Trump was thinking about the rockets landing on oceanic platforms, but it could be anything from UFOs to biblical chariots of fire.

When the Muhammud was old, his followers (mostly his children) would record his increasingly incoherent ramblings as prophecy, fully convinced that he was channelling Allah. What we're seeing is the new book of Relevations, the last book in the Trump Bible, as the Prophet Trump spews unhinged prophesies, to be interpreted by the QAnon faithful.

[Beartracks]

75. That's about the most neutral way to explain it: he "delivered remarks." That he did.

[jmowreader]

78. While it sounds insane...

He was talking about how SpaceX lands its boosters, which is about as he described - a cylinder landing in a circle on a raft.

And...then he went into all this bizarre shit about Biden's eight circles.

[Aussie105]

79. It makes perfect sense!

Free floating association, ideas floating around in a leaky brain, mouth in top gear, no need to form whole sentences, or complete any single thought, using a description of something when you can't find the one word that describes an object . . .

Unless your brain is equally leaky in the electrical impulse circuitry, or live with a dementia person, don't try to understand.

(Wife: one of those big things with feathers landed in the back yard, white with some black. Long snout.
Me: Oh, an ibis?
Wife: yeah, ibis)

Trump's ramblings: words of a bigly genius, or ramblings of a worn out brain?

More importantly, is Trump still POTUS material? And was he ever?

November's vote will bring the answers!

(Trump is on a downhill slide though. Eventually he will be in a wheelchair, largely immobile, and unable to speak.)

EDIT: Re dementia.
Most of us have functional, normal brains.

We have the ability to find descriptive nouns for objects easily.
We can remember things from the past and talk about them, without distorting any of those memories.
We have the ability to order several topics we want to talk about in a logical sequence.
We have the ability to talk about each topic and self check that we have completed a topic before moving to the next.

Dementia patients can do none of those things. (Personal observations. I live with one.)
