I’ve had more normal conversations with people on the tail end of a 3 day meth binge and I am not exaggerating in the slightest
My mother with early onset dementia addicted to ambien has similar coherency.
HOW THE FRESH HELL IS KAMALA SEEN AS INCOMPETENT AND DUMB WHEN THIS MAN BREATHES? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Oof. I just realized something. There must be people whose job it is to translate the transcription of Trump’s speeches into other languages. Journalists might have to do it for media in their country. People working in the diplomatic / spy apparatus of their countries might need to track what an American president / presidential candidate says in case it is important to their national interests.
Can you imagine having to do that, to structure what he says so that it vaguely makes some kind of sense in another language?
I also wonder if there’s a way that a screenwriter could organize, punctuate and annotate this mess so that an actor could deliver these lines the same way. Like, it’s obviously a word salad, but there’s a variety in the kinds of emphasis he uses for certain words or phrases. Since there’s no “natural” way to say all those words, I wonder if there’s a way to transcribe it so that an actor could say the words in the same way without having to listen to the speech.
When Trump gave his inauguration speech there were lots of articles about translators saying it was impossible to translate.
Wow. I never thought how terrible of a job that must be.
I imagine them just giving up and doing something like (25 minutes of nonsensical speech)
I’m sure they’d love to do that, but the problem is that mixed in with all the nonsense there actually may be things that would become policy. Like, if you’re in Mexico’s government, you really do need to know what his plans are going to be for the border. And, every once in a while he’ll slip something into his rambling nonsense which might actually relate to border policy.
It’s called sanewashing. Stop trying to interpret what he says. Just print the direct quote.
Huh???

Me when I manage to decipher his word salad:
Alright. I’m Black and I have to say this scene does make me laugh, albeit I don’t know how to feel about it.
I’m white, and I think what makes it funny, like most of the movie, is the absurdism of it. It only works by having an old white lady being the one who understands black slang
That old white lady was the actress who played June Cleaver of “Leave It To Beaver” - a 50s(?) b&w white-bread conservative-family-values-americana TV show
That was the biggest part of the gag.
I know why it’s funny. The joke is extremely obvious, but it’s like laughing at Cartman being racist in South Park. The show is hilarious and I feel “bad” at laughing at some jokes. That’s all.
Attempting to explain what Trump means is sanewashing and makes him look less incoherent.
Just let his words speak for themselves.

Thank god you explained it. I have read it three times and I still don’t have a fucking clue what he was after with that part.
It’s hard to tell if it’s total nonsense or just nonsense if you’re not up to speed on the Fox Cinematic Universe
Aka, total nonsense but the long way…
I haven’t heard that one before.
But my grandmother will definitely hear about it soon
Hell yes, me too! My right wingers are gonna feel the sting from that one!
rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon of where they wanted to land
What are these circles we are filling up with press?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does anybody else also think this way of talking is psychological manipulation?
“This is my voice”
“You love my voice”
“My voice soothes you”
“My voice will guide you”
“Pretty bird.”
“Pretty bird.”
“Pretty bird.”
“Pretty bird.”
Sounds like he’s just listened to War of the Worlds? Cylinders came from Mars, slowly unscrewed themselves and out popped critters larger than a bear, with snake-like tentacles.
Fake news. The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million to one he said.
