1. When tRump thinks he's weaving it's hard not to be heaving

[True Dough]

2. I thought "the weave"

referred to that rat's nest on his head.

[littlemissmartypants]

10. Ditto.

[ms liberty]

3. Yes, another example of his low IQ.

Someone smarter and with better comprehension would have discarded using "the weave" because they would have understood that the phrase begins with either "bob" or "duck" and the meaning is to shrink from or avoid.
It's another case of the Orange Man grifting so hard that he reveals himself.

[sarchasm]

21. Pure machismo

His machismo (another word that is accurately applicable to this horrible person) won't let him realize that we are all on to this backward imbecile's severe projection.

Early voting starts here today, and I cannot wait to vote all the way down the blue column!

4. I'ma snatch his weave

No joke.

Earrings are coming off right this minute.

11. You're so funny!

[Gore1FL]

5. I think he is referencing the combining of threads to create a fabric.

He's an idiot, and he isn't doing it, but that is what he is referencing.

[Attilatheblond]

16. His handlers still think they can teach him things. He still takes their words and mixes them into unrecognizable mush

Then he tries to spit out their lessons, but since he never understands what they say, and he's too dumb to know he never understands, he spews out their talking points all wrong. 'The weave' is the excuse they offer for his insane ramblings and then he does repeat 'weave' like he is some genius storyteller. "Weave" is the latest crutch for his badly limping mind.

[Gore1FL]

17. Absolutely.

I think Trump outsourced his weaving to China and Russia.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

22. Very accurate.

He's such a blatant bullshitter who understands little of substance. I will never understand how anyone can listen to him and not see that!

[bluesbassman]

20. I'm sure that's the concept he's trying to convey, because he thinks it makes him sound intelligent.

The problem for him of course is that anyone with an IQ above room temperature hears what he says and realizes immediately that there is no story being woven together, he's simply Gish galloping his ass off repeating his same shop worn tropes, cliches, and stereotypes.

[William Seger]

6. The scary thing is, he thinks it proves he's a genius

DonOld apparently thinks his disjointed ramblings all "come together" to make some kind of point, and that people tell him he's a genius for doing it. Back in 2016, psychiatrists were saying that a malignant narcissistic personality disorder is not a mental illness, no matter how severe. However, losing contact with reality is certainly a mental illness: The ramblings themselves, his belief that they indicate superior intelligence, and the imaginary friends telling him they do just that are all part of DonOld's advancing dementia.

12. It's not...

an either/or proposition for his psychological state. It is always a gestalt. Three things can be true at once. Such things are assessed on a scale, an axis.*

I just want ONE (so-called) journalist to ask him to define the word 'cognitive' the next time he uses it in a sentence.

I also wish we had a dartboard here with his face on it and we could all take turns throwing and keeping score.

19. Agreed

He even said experts were impressed by that ability.
But, real experts in linguistics & presentation say its a horrible way to make a point, so nobody who told him how "brilliant" that is was not an expert.
Besides, he rarely gers back around to making the original point, so that part is a lie, too.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. "I don't want to do that."

1.) Answer questions.
2.) Be held responsible.
3.) Share plans.

Which shows what TSF knows:

1.) Nothing.
2.) How to avoid accountability.
3.) What he plans is unspeakable.

[Historic NY]

8. The thing on DonOLD's head

as he bobs and weaves around questions.

[jcgoldie]

9. next level bullshit

He does it whenever he can see he's rambling and completely losing people now...
"Hey I'm not babbling nonsense, you just can't keep up because I'm a genius!"

Sure uncle don its time for bed...

[Paladin]

13. It ought to be referred to as "The Drool." (nt)

[moniss]

14. More like the evade

and he would seem to fit this on several levels which according to Merriam-Webster are:

transitive verb

1 : to elude by dexterity or stratagem
2 a: to avoid facing up to "evaded the real issues"
b : to avoid the performance of : dodge, circumvent especially : to fail to pay (taxes)
c : to avoid answering directly : turn aside

[ananda]

15. So Trump thinks he's weaving when he's really bobbing...

down the dementia rabbithole.

[usregimechange]
