Donald Trump bizarrely claimed people don’t eat bacon anymore because of wind power while taking questions at his latest campaign speech in Wisconsin.

The former president made the bold claim as an answer to a young rally-goer asking what his plan is, "to make life more affordable and bring down inflation for someone like me." "It's probably the question I get most," Trump responded at first, eventually launching into what on critic denounced as a "word salad."

The GOP presidential nominee said, "You take a look at bacon and some of these products, and some people don't eat bacon anymore." "And we are going to get the energy prices down," he continued.

"When we get energy down – you know this was caused by their horrible energy. Wind – they want wind all over the place," he added. "But when it doesn't blow we have a little problem," Trump added.

The media has normalized this. They have yet to bring in any medical specialists, whether gerontologists or psychiatric professionals, to dissect this repeated aberrant behavior, prefering to instead, dismiss it. Meanwhile, they have devoted significant resources to search furiously for any sign of health failure by Democrats, and when none is found, they will manufacture something.

1. We don't need professionals to tell you this is crazy talk and word salad.

A sign of mental illness and cognitive decline.

And we don't need professionals to tell the public that when a person has committed many
crimes over the years that he is a criminal.

[Lovie777]

3. And yet the media ignores this.............................

still trying to make him normal.

[Irish_Dem]

5. The US media works for the PutinGOP.

It is their propaganda machine.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

23. They're Pravda and RT

I refuse to watch the mainstream news now. Only local weather.

[CincyDem]

2. I can see how he thinks that. I used to have wind issues with bacon...

…then I learned it was the beans.

[Seinan Sensei]

20. The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

[CincyDem]

29. If that wind was the answer, I'm terrified (at times) to wonder what the question was ?

[Metro135]

28. I've had issues with wind and bacon too

When I was cooking bacon on the stove one day, I opened the window. Dogs all over the neighborhood caught the scent of cooking bacon on the wind and raced over to my house. They jumped through the window and that was the end of the bacon.

Now I only cook bacon when the wind isn't blowing.

[CincyDem]

33. See...now there ya go...thinking about bacon and wind is a natural human reaction.

You say ta-May-toe...I say to-MAH-toe.
You say pa-Tay-toe...I say po-TAH-toe.

You say bacon...

...I say wind.

Who doesn't go there.

[Brother Buzz]

42. Duzy worthy!

[twodogsbarking]

4. Everyone knows it is Windy.

6. It's a cult...

And the media are ensnared in it such that any bullshit that falls from his face is biblical. They can't help themselves.

[TommieMommy]

7. He makes no sense at all, scrambled brains

[IronLionZion]

8. WIndmills are so powerful they blow the bacon right off his hamberders

Deep state is diabolical.

The only solution is to build a border wall to stop bacon from fleeing south

[BumRushDaShow]

10. But wait... thre's more!

They are also so strong that they blow ketchup bottles across the room and hurl them against walls!

[Shermann]

9. They try to tie every issue to inflation. JD Vance was doing the same thing on CNN.

Vance even said the IVF issue couldn't be separated from inflation, which was weird.

[COL Mustard]

66. It really stands for

Inflation Via Fertilization. We've just been mis-told all these years.

[Playingmantis]

11. Lets help Trump

I intend to send him a couple of hundred pounds of bacon and a cigarette vending machine

[Clouds Passing]

17. And a couple of pounds of fentanyl

[Ray Bruns]

12. I posted this before but it's still relevant

This is what I hate most about Trump.
He says something so delusional that it would get anyone else who said a thing thrown into a mental health facility. Then the MSM has to discuss it like it’s real thing and then they have to talk about it for two or three days until Trump has another brain fart.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Basically, they think he is "faking it" and is being "an entertainer"

so they dismiss it out of hand instead of actually doing some damn analysis of it and critiquing accordingly - non-stop. Instead, they go after literal "oops" moments by everyone else and spend countless hours commenting on and magnifying while ignoring a clearly mentally ill man. Much of it is because they are a bunch of cowards who recoil once he starts bullying them into submission.

It mirrors their CONTINUED insistence they "he will pivot", something they have promised for decades now (and this goes back to the days of his many bankruptcies and refusals to pay for anything he contracted).

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

24. I'm not entertained

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Whenever he is on (TV or radio)

I mute.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

48. I change the station

I don't even watch the news or even the local news anymore unless it's about the weather.

[Wonder Why]

13. I don't eat beans because of "wind" but bacon? C'mon!

[tclambert]

67. Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot

The more you toot, the better you feel. So let's have beans at every meal!

[Zambero]

14. I'm getting sick and tired of my TLT sandwiches

Tofu, lettuce, and tomato. It's just not the same! And that damn wind all over the place. Enough is enough!

[Clouds Passing]

16. More gaslighting, expect it to get much more bizarre.

That is the point, to put us in shock.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. When presidential candidates break wind, we have a problem. Especially when it spews from an anus-looking mouth.

You can't break wind when the windmill spins. You have to break wind when the cameras are rolling. They don't want you breaking wind at any tiime. But tacos! Those taco trucks on every corner conspire to make you break wind all the time. Of course, when you break wind, you're adding to the global warming hoax because you're acting like cow farts. Nobody's ever heard of cow farts before. Only I can fart better than the cows. Vote for me and I'll fart every day and prove the cows are crazy.

[Backseat Driver]

19. The cooks on Cooking for Kamala were asking each other

whether or not bacon was a spice - It was a cute youtube...the celebrity chefs talked up VP Harris skills decided that Rep Swallwell had no cooking skills with knives and couldn't cut up and prepared appetizer, a favorite Harris recipe for chicken, and the coconut cookies...It seemed to have raised almost $200K before we left it in progress. DH and I left the video presentation for the CNN interview--that didn't last long either--Dana Bash, really??? and we ended the evening watching reruns of West Wing...Bartlett decides to run again for Prez after a "mess" caused by failure to reveal Bartlett's MS diagnosis with wife Abby's and senior staff liabilities including Charlie, Bartlett's young personal valet because they knew.

[republianmushroom]

21. Our medias double standards at work.

Their golden cow.
Taking a grain of salt with what the media says, makes il to salty to stomach.

[dchill]

22. Schools of journalism across the country are failing in their missions.

[mdbl]

25. Would like to Dump stuff his face with bacon

in a bacon-eating contest. Yes my motives ulterior.

[NEOH]

26. Trump is Not Weird

TSCF is beyond weird. He’s totally bizarre. I think he’s from the helllish depths of the earth.

[skennis1]

27. Yea, I can see that,

in fact, I became totally vegetarian because of solar power.

[orwell]

30. I worked in a bacon plant...

...which stopped me from ever eating bacon again.

If you don't mind scarfing down cancer growths and nitrates that are strong enough to disintegrate normal work boots in a week have at it.

And don't get me started on hot dogs...

[world wide wally]

31. Uh huh...right

[Martin68]

32. Trump's dementia causes him to mix and match at random the various talking points he has been assigned by his

staff. Bacon and energy, sharks and batteries - and then he throws in random elements that re floating inside his diseased brain such as Hannibal Lecter. The media should be reporting on this fact rather than trying to clean up and sanitize his insane statements.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. I saw the perfect term on DU describing what the media has done with his nonsense

"sane-wash".

Donald Trump's speeches are notorious for their off-the-cuff ramblings, and now some media outlets stand accused of 'sane-washing' his erratic outbursts.


Story by Kyle Osullivan & Emily Hodgkin • 2d


The 78-year-old frequently ditches the teleprompter to embark on wild digressions, including his bizarre reference to the 'late, great Hannibal Lecter'. Yet, a political commentator has spotted an emerging pattern where news anchors attempt to rationalise Trump's tirades as soon as they conclude.

Journalist Aaron Rupar has even coined the term 'sane-wash' to describe the efforts by reporters and pundits to decipher the intent behind Trump's disjointed monologues.

Rupar's latest objection was directed at Fox News' coverage of Trump's address to the National Guard Association's conference in Detroit on Monday. Anchor Martha MacCallum suggested that Trump was "hitting three big themes consistently" - crime, the economy, and immigration, reports the Express US.

This interpretation came despite Trump's talk of establishing a 'Space National Guard', his desire to 'fire' those responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal 'like The Apprentice', and his claim that the US is out of ammunition. Rupar called out the network with a tweet: "Fox News also sane-washes Trump's bonkers word salad."

[Ford_Prefect]

43. They seem to keep on scoring his "performance", rather than critiquing his policy and history. '3 out of 5 for effort

but you can't dance to it.'

[BumRushDaShow]

46. That's basically it

which, IMHO, is why a "debate" would be useless. The media will be looking for "style" and "soundbites".

It has been almost 17 years since this beaut by our current President -

[Diraven]

56. At least are finally talking about this

I remember when he was president his press secretary and the WH press corps made sane-washing their full time jobs.

[BumRushDaShow]

59. And the moment they finally woke up and started pushing back

the "daily" White House press briefings ended. And they said, "okay".

[mucholderthandirt]

68. He was clearly trying to stay on message? Damn, girl. When did the obvious stick hit you?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

34. Laughing while I eat my thick cut bacon, eggs over medium and toast.

So damned moronic.

[LudwigPastorius]

35. "The former president made the bold claim..."

“The former president made the insane claim…”

Fixed that for you, Independent.

[CaptainTruth]

36. Trump is so ignorant of technology.

I swear, he has no idea what's going on with wind & solar. Look at all the PPAs (power purchase agreements) signed by utilities over the past couple years & you'll see how wind & solar have been the most common & CHEAPEST sources of energy for a couple years now. So, he wants to switch from the cheapest sources of energy to ones that are more expensive & he thinks that will bring prices DOWN?

The dude is ignorant & he probably doesn't know what a PPA is, much less paid attention to rates.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

39. The wind at Trumps back is always his own.

What that has to do with bacon, I'm not sure, but I'm not a doctor. Do they even serve it at McDonald's anymore?

[quakerboy]

40. Nothing new about an old white man

Rambling on and expecting people to understand his great brilliant thoughts despite them being poorly formatted.

[twodogsbarking]

41. The King of Sharts has spoken.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

49. "Where is Shartacus?" demands the Centurion...

All the other slaves would have been saying "Here's Whiny Shartacus" and pointing at him.

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. His "answer" might just as well have been "carrots."

[kimbutgar]

45. Ugh donOLD pigs on are farms and not near windmills

That is so friggin insane and doesn’t make sense.

[Javaman]

47. they have two spinning wheels in orange assholes campaign office

one is titled, "thinks republicans hate". the other is: "things republicans love".

they go to these when they have nothing left regarding ideas.

so they spin them. the love comes up bacon and the hate comes up wind power

honestly, this is the only way I can figure how they come up with these truly beyond fucked up ideas.

[Bird Lady]

50. Huh what does one thing have to do with the other?

Give me a rasher of bacon I will happily eat it standing under a windmill.
I have to wonder how all the farmers who had and still have windmills didn't fall prey
to to this horrible consequence of windmills.

[Klarkashton]

51. Reporting this trump shit is considered "dog bites man"

Actually it might be better in one sense that it goes unreported. People see his shit and think it's real.

[BumRushDaShow]

54. But they gleefully "report"

when life-long stutterer Joe Biden, "stutters", and then they spend countless hours and column inches on trying to attribute that to some kind of "mental decline".

So yes they need to "report" on 45's aberrant AND abhorrent behavior - and bring in the "specialists" to endlessly dissect it so they can then declare him unfit to hold any office.

[twodogsbarking]

52. So windmill cancer is wiping out pigs?

[SomedayKindaLove]

55. Well, yes

And I hear it’s driving whales crazy too.

And don’t forget the birds.

[twodogsbarking]

58. And Boo Boo.

[Figarosmom]

53. So i wofer

If the guy that asked the ? Thought trump had answered it and had a good plan or if he thought to himself 'this guy hasn't a clue. He's crazy".there has tv o be some normal people at his rallies.

[RussBLib]

57. ok, grandpa, it's time to take the keys away

...we have a nice home for you at SuperMax. The place is really super.

60. I never thought of that! What if the wind decides to never blow again?

........then again I never thought of dropping a nuclear bomb into a hurricane to disrupt it, or injecting bleach to kill a virus.

[BumRushDaShow]

61. "What if the wind decides to never blow again?"

Then the homes of the 3 little pigs will be safe!

[NowsTheTime]

74. Love It!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

62. It's sad. Every time a pig grows wings and flies, SPLAT!, a dang windmill.

If only the windmills had sharper blades, they could produce electricity and bacon at the same time. How would you like that sliced, Mr Trump, Mr President, Sir?

[BumRushDaShow]

63. But not just that

they are out in the ocean with the sharks and electric batteries!

[ailsagirl]

64. What next?? I always thought he was creepy-- now he has surpassed himself

[COL Mustard]

65. It's true!

Everyone knows that the pigs are flying into the windmills and getting cancer as well as being all chopped up. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it!!! And believe me, no one's ever written about it before, believe me!

[mucholderthandirt]

69. Well, some have stopped eating bacon, but it's for health and/or ethical reasons.

Trump has some kind of issues with windmills. Since I don't think there are any in NYC, where did it come from? A psychiatrist could spend a career figuring that moron out. Add in JD Vance, and you've got an entire institution on it. Add in MAGAs, there's not enough medical help in the world.

I think I'm having BLTs for lunch today. Yum. I don't think the wind is blowing, so it should be safe!

[BumRushDaShow]

71. "Trump has some kind of issues with windmills. Since I don't think there are any in NYC, where did it come from?"

FLORIDA (his "official residence" )

Why Florida doesn’t have wind energy, but lawmakers want to curb it anyway


By Emily L. Mahoney Times staff

Published March 4|Updated March 5

If you drive through parts of Texas, California, the Midwest — or look off the coast of several northeastern states — you can see enormous wind turbines, their rotations powering millions of homes as part of a push to make wind part of our country’s energy future. But not so in Florida, a state whose lower wind speeds have kept it from becoming a wind energy hot spot. And lawmakers are poised to pass a bill that could help keep it that way by banning offshore wind turbines in state waters.

(snip)

Why doesn’t Florida have wind energy?

Florida has zero operational offshore or onshore wind farms, according to 2023 data collected by the federal government. The reason is pretty simple: We don’t have strong, sustained winds, at least on land. When it comes to offshore, other states’ waters, particularly in the Northeast and parts of the west coast, have stronger winds than Florida, making them earlier targets for this technology. Hurricanes also pose higher risks to the equipment.

So why ban offshore wind?

The bills would prohibit offshore wind turbines within 1 mile of the coastline or intracoastal waterways, as well as within all state waters, which extend 3 nautical miles from shore on the Atlantic side of the state, and 9 nautical miles on the gulf side. The bill’s sponsors have said the ban is sensible because wind energy isn’t feasible in Florida. Renner, the House speaker, said it will protect the state’s prized beach views.

“I think it’s very similar to offshore drilling. Floridians don’t want to sit on the beach and look at oil derricks, and they don’t want to sit on the beach and look at big windmills,” he said. “It doesn’t preclude them from doing it elsewhere in the state where it’s possible, but I think that’s a fair place to land.”

Keep talking, you are doing great! Your words of wisdom will fall on their ears and they will become True Believers!

Recipients go:

WTF?
He has lost it!
Completely gone!
The world salad generator is in full overdrive!

Meanwhile, the media go:

Trump spoke eloquently about many things! His wisdom knows no bounds!

Part of senile dementia is a fluid view of the world, where vaguely remembered different things can get joined together in a sudden flash of 'insight'.
Sharks and boats that run on batteries, bacon and windmills, etc.
And telling a story for the first time, not knowing that you told the same story many times previously.

[jmowreader]

72. I swear...

You know how in the prescription drug ads they tell you to "ask your doctor if (insert name of drug they just spent ten minutes telling you it'll either kill you or cause another arm to grow on your forehead) is right for you"?

If Trump were to ask his drug pusher if crack was right for him..."no, no it is not. You're already stupider than this shit will make you."

[Sparky 1]

73. Dimentia on full display. Trump''s the senile one, not Biden.
