I'm impressed, to be honest, "amorphous" is probably the biggest word I've ever heard him use.

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

He's true if you're talking about dark energy

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

hahhaha guys face "what the fuck is he going on about"

His staffers should be charged with elder abuse for making these rallies continue

This is the classic dementia "word salad". I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it's going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 1 hour ago

To be fair, that pretty much describes the information communicated to any Trump supporter listening to anyone say anything. They listen for vibes, not meaning.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 38 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 10 points 7 hours ago

And she just looks back going

it is like a stove, yes 🙂

[–] whodatdair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 12 hours ago

I laughed out loud at his reaction

“Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 50 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I love how uncomfortable the fan is. Never meet your heroes, eh fucknut?

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Never happen. Best case scenario is "maybe I'm not into politics anymore"

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 minutes ago

I'd take the w.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He just wanted to steal glances at hot lady. They don't usually let him get that close

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.

Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.

You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

[–] ironcrotch@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sage Steele from ESPN? She’s MAGA? What in the world

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Yep. She’s one of them. I’m still baffled that any woman would willingly be MAGA. Goes to show how powerful propaganda, manipulation, hate, and fear are. Repubs did a fantastic job fortifying their control over decades, installing a dictator, and sowing doubt and distrust with current election practices. Trump is one of many threats.

Edit: Blows my mind, really. She’s youngish (40s or so, I’m not willing to Google her), black, articulate, educated, and a woman. Just makes zero sense why she would be MAGA when that party wants to suppress her. Literally so confused, but yep she’s deeply MAGA. Why would a woman, a black woman, support the racist group that wants to enslave or kill her? Leopards will definitely eat her face.

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

"Fan," isn't that the guy that got arrested in the Carolinas for being and armed militia and targeting FEMA workers? Or did that guys mug shot just happen to look just like this guy

Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 13 points 12 hours ago

~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” ~~or~~ and he doesn’t understand energy.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 12 hours ago

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

[–] moody@lemmings.world 12 points 14 hours ago

It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery

[–] Granite@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

He’s manifesting donuts.

[–] meliodas_101@lemmy.world 32 points 20 hours ago (14 children)

What is he talking about again ?

[–] gnate@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Arnold Palmer

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 44 points 20 hours ago (13 children)

He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Picture of a stove?

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here

[–] mars296@fedia.io 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

As someone who has always been around people speaking broken English, it becomes very easy to interpret word jumbles and mistranslations.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

It's exhausting but if you examine what he says you'll find there is some sense to his ramblings. It's how he blurts them without any context that gives away his dementia
