From yesterday’s rally:
9,982 people out of 10,000 are autistic. Who knew?
I know you probably don’t want to hear him today. But I think it’s probably important to document his utterings since what he says is getting more nonsensical by the day. A few highlights of the rally he held yesterday for no particular reason:
The man who is marauding through all of American higher education allegedly to root antisemitism said today that he didn’t know it was an antisemitic trope. Could be. He just thinks that stereotypes of greedy Jews are the simple truth. He can’t be an antisemite himself because Sheldon Adelson’s wife Miriam loves him.
Meanwhile:
“You know, when I did the 250, there was nothing I could do. It was 250. It was 250. So I can’t see — that was my baby. The country happened to be 250 years old. But what I did do is during my first term, I got the Olympics, and I got the Great Soccer. You know that whole deal, right? I got — we call it soccer. They call it football. I got them both. I got the Olympics. First, I got the Olympics, and I got it. I was president. And I said, you know, it’s a shame. It’s a shame. I got the World Cup, and I have the Olympics, and I did it. And you have no idea. President Obama didn’t want to make a call to the Olympics. You know why? Because he went to Switzerland or wherever, and he said, you know, if a president goes to get the Olympics, you have to have a deal. You have to be chosen. He went there, and he came in fourth, so he hated them, I guess. And he was unwilling to make a call, and they called me up. The Democrats called me up, actually, from Los Angeles, and I said, I’ll do it. I made the call, and I couldn’t get the people off the phone because they were so starved for love, because nobody would call them from — anyway, we made a deal. I got the Olympics. Then we got the World Cup with Johnny. We got the World Cup, and I got them both, and I looked at my people. I said, isn’t it a shame? I got these two, but it wasn’t in the next four years. It was right after that, and the one after that. And I got the Olympics, and I got the World Cup, and we also have 250, so that’s a pretty wild term. But I got these two things that are incredible. Nobody else could have done it. I’m telling you, everybody wanted it. Nobody could have done it. And I said, and I won’t be president, because I’ll be president for four more years, but it won’t be — and then they cheated and rigged the election. They rigged — you know, they don’t even turn off the cameras when I say that now, because now they know it’s true, too. But they knew it was true before. Remember, the cameras used to immediately turn off. You see all those beautiful red lights go off. Now I can say whatever I want, because then they know it’s true. But they knew it was true before. It’s fake news. That’s why they call it. But you know what? This term is much more consequential than if I had done it the more traditional way. This was slightly harder, believe me. It’s slightly more dangerous, because they’re criminals on the other side that tried to put your president in jail and went after him, just like they do in third-world countries. And we all beat em together. We beat em because our level of popularity was so high.”
It clearly doesn’t have to make any sense. In fact, it’s better if it doesn’t. It’s like a form of hypnosis for the people who are susceptible to it. After all this time I think they find it comforting and it makes them trust him all the more.
It’s the rhythm of the speech which is reminiscent of earlier fascists. But the American version has an even bigger group of hated enemies than they did:
Just don’t call them deplorable. That would be rude.
