1. Translation?

I don’t speak gibberish.

[DavidDvorkin]

2. What?

[NEOH]

3. So is Trump Insinuating

So, is Trump insinuating that he wants to take Ireland? I wouldn't put it one millimeter past him...

[RockRaven]

4. Americans are way too desensitized to this shit.

Imagine if Xi was babbling gibberish like this in public, what our media be saying about him, China, and national/international safety/security. That is what the rest of the world is saying/thinking about America.

20. Oh no...

It's much worse than that.

[Diamond_Dog]

5. And all those idiots sit around him silently like Trump is a serious president.

[Katinfl]

19. And you know they know he is insane. But they go along with it. No self-respect I guess.

[Deuxcents]

7. I think so, too, but not one spoke up or even sent him a sticky note

[Beaverhausen]

8. Ireland or Iceland?

[StoolPigeon]

21. Take your pick

He's probably thinking about Greenland anyhow.

[malaise]

9. Lock up this mad man please

Please please!

[yellow dahlia]

15. I second that emotion.

Straight jacket time.

10. He apparently meant the island of Diego Garcia.

During a cabinet meeting today, President Donald Trump seemed to confuse his words numerous times, referencing "Ireland" instead of an "island" that is considered UK territory that was almost bombed by Iran.

Trump went off on a rant as usual, before slowing down and confusing several thoughts. At the meeting, Trump began, "And I think we've been proven right, you know, they took one missile, went 2500 miles. They supposedly didn't have a missile like that. They had no missile with that capability. But they shot the now famous Ireland, the, the island that..." before droning off, visibly confused.

Starting again, Trump went on, "The UK was very Afraid to give us, 'cuz they didn't want to get dragged in, but we don't want to get dragged into their wars either, you know, it's one thing we're very disappointed, I'll say it publicly, we're very disappointed with NATO."

The likely translation/scenario Trump is referring to is likely the island of Diego Garcia, a territory under British control that was targeted, but not hit, by Iranian missiles on Sunday.

11. Wow. That's some serious dementia at work.

Just wow.

[highplainsdem]

12. I was guessing at first he'd meant Greenland and confused the UK with Denmark, but after reading

more of what he said, I deleted what I'd posted earlier and posted this correction.

[eShirl]

14. his dementia is advancing

[yellow dahlia]

16. Straight jacket time.

Or is it (Hormuz) strait jacket?

[Wuddles440]

13. I must have died and gone to hell,...

because seeing and listening to this imbecile is certainly the type of torture only Satan could devise.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Time for ice cream and golf cart rides for grandpa!

His brain is mouldy jello.

[JI7]

18. This is why the people that voted for him are so hateful towards

Democrats. They still spend all their time attacking Biden, Harris, Hillary etc.
