Comedy World Righteously Roasts Trump Over Gettysburg Gaffe
People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.
People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.
Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.
When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter.
“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.

Being an actual moron isn't a "gaffe" lol.
Yea, the guy is ignorant and is used to BSing his way through it. His wealth has long sheltered him from being called out on it.
"look having nuclear...." Moron
is used to BSing his way through it
When you are famous they let you do it.
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

Great speech, Mr. President! <wiping tears from eyes> That's right up there with the Gettysburg Address!
Being a moron is not enough. You also have to suffer from rapidly advancing dementia to be regarded as the literal second coming of Christ by "conservatives".
Honestly, that makes perfect sense. Their other darling president was a talentless hack, brainless politician with dementia, so it 100% tracks that they can't get on their knees fast enough.

To be fair, and I say this as no fan of Ronnie Raygun, he seemed relatively normal until the later years. A jerkass right-wing nut in practice, who screwed up a LOT of things and set the stage for later disasters, but otherwise human. Possibly even personally likable. I didn’t cheer when he got shot, like.
Trump is seven layers of freak criminal mental disease. If Jodie Foster’s Army was active and working today, I’d be dancing on the rooftops.

Gawd I'd love to go back in time and kick Ronny down the stairs as a toddler.
Yeah, it's only a gaffe if your base isn't stupid enough to already believe the brainless bullshit that falls out of your talk hole.
