  2. If what he does is “the weave”, then “the weave” is giving rambling incoherent answers to questions.

  3. Only ‘weave’ I’ve seen is that fat old bastard weaving on stage at that trainwreck of a townhall– a weave that notably included him giving two invisible handjobs as he’s wont to do.

  4. I love how he’s trying to “brand” his incoherent ramblings.

    Trailing off into 10 other irrelevant subjects isn’t a speaking style, Donnie. It just means you’ve lost your mind.

    The journalists that are sane-washing Trump are going to be among his first victims if he returns to power. People will make terrible long term decisions for short term financial gain.

    I like how he thinks this is some big “gotcha” or justification for why he talks the way he does…. when you’re the President of the United States, the dumbest person in the crowd should be able to understand what you’re saying and relate to it. Bush Jr. famously “dumbed down” his public speaking. Obama and Clinton didn’t really dumb themselves down, but they were just so good at public speaking you could follow along easily.

    Trump is just rambling incoherently, which is bad, but then he’s claiming he’s just speaking in some complex jabberwockian syntax, which is also bad for public speaking. Either way he looks like an idiot.

    The “weave” aka Alzheimer’s Sundowners, Someone needs to contact Adult Protective Services.

  8. This interview was so awkward to watch. Trump doesn’t understand basic economics that it’s embarrassing.

  9. I need to come up with some cool branding to cover up my flaws. What’s a cool name for when I spend way too much money on gadgets?

    Even if he wasn’t bullshitting, it’s still a really awful way for a leader to communicate.

  11. He’s demented and he was a moron before he lost his mind. He’s also 78 years old, morbidly obese, and a convicted rapist and felon. On 1/6/21, he organized and riled up a large group of people to attack the capitol. Yet half the country still wants him to be President. How has our country gotten so stupid and cruel?

  12. Just a gentle reminder. It is not just about Trump being old or incoherent, he has proved in past to be incompetent as a president.

    The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up during his presidency. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 36.3% from 2016. – The effect of last trade tarrifs.

    Violent crime was up under Trump and has reduced under Biden.

    Trump is not first time candidate, we already know what are implications of his presidency. He also suggested injecting disinfectant as a possible cure for Covid-19 in a public address as the president. He also morphed the map of Hurricane Dorian with a sharpie in actual public release of cyclone warnings as president of the USA.

    People need to stop loving Trump for his vibes. We already know Mexico did not pay for the border wall. It is not 2016 that Trump’s words can be taken at face value. Much less assuming favourably about his actions on stage.

    Just plain facts.

  13. He used to do this deliberately as a method of fast talk.

    Most politicians um and ah or pause when they need to think of what to say next. But people are stupid and assume this means they are about to lie. So flim-flam men like Trump make sure they never pause so that they always sound confident.

    But as Trump loses his mental faculties with age, the nonsensical patter goes on longer and longer until it becomes the majority of what he says.

    Just ask him to prove it. If you can turn the weave on, then you must be able to turn it off too. Please answer this next question without using the weave.

  15. It’s amazing how he and his campaign are trying to convince people that a symptom of mental illness, flight of ideas, is a rhetorical device called the weave. Genius marketing folks over there.

  16. trumps doing the weave in his diaper. we cant have this old decrepid turd running anything, nevermind our country.

    Someone explain the common use of “weave” has to do with hair for a group of people he absolutely hates.

  18. He’s basically a meme now.

    Interviewer: Mr president what do you think of boarder control.

    Trump: let’s talk about buttered sausage, where it comes from, what it does…

    I seriously cannot listen to him anymore. Posters please give transcripts of what you are posting, plz!

  20. Police officer : “Sir, are you under the influence of alcohol or narcotics?”

    Driver: “No, I’m doing the weave”.
