      I had no idea. I was laughing so hard the whole way through and didn’t realize it was Trump until I got to the comments and laughed so much harder. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🙂‍↔️🫠💀

      I actually didn’t read the name first, but while reading it I thought, “this reads a lot like Trump.”

    Transcriptions of Trump are often 200 word sentences muddled with em-dashes as new thoughts appear, sometimes eventually coming back to the original point and finally coming to rest with a period.

      There is no point. He just repeats a topic sentence, randomly hurls insults or says things that scare him as a human fart, and then repeats the topic sentence again. People on the same mental level think it’s prophetic because mentally they aren’t equipped for thinking.

      Folks, let me tell you, Goldilocks. Goldilocks is a fantastic story. Tremendous story, okay? She walks into the house, right? And there are three bears. Can you believe it? Three big, beautiful bears. She tries the porridge. First one, too hot. Way too hot. Who makes porridge that hot? Disastrous. Then the second one, too cold. Nobody likes cold porridge. It’s just wrong. But the third one, folks, it’s just right. Perfect. Tremendous porridge. The best. But you know, what Goldilocks did, breaking into that house? It’s a crime. But the media doesn’t talk about that. But you have to wonder, are those bears even here legally? We need to know who’s coming into our country. And that’s why we need our great police officers, they’re tremendous. They’re doing an incredible job. But the media, they don’t want to talk about that. They want to focus on negativity. So unfair. We’ve got to support our police, folks. They’re the ones keeping us safe from those rioters, from Antifa. Just terrible people, really. And what about our Second Amendment rights? The right to bear arms, folks. Very important. We have to protect that.

      And let me tell you, if those three little piggies had been allowed to arm themselves, maybe they’d still be here today. Imagine that, I mean the first little pig builds his house out of straw. Not good. Devastating. The second pig, sticks. Better, but still not great. If they had proper protection, maybe the wolf wouldn’t have been such a problem. Just think about that. So, the third pig, he’s smart. Genius. He builds his house out of bricks. Solid bricks. Huge house. Tremendous. The wolf comes, and he huffs and puffs. But he can’t blow it down. Can’t do it. Just like the border. We need to build that wall. Keep out the bad guys, the criminals, the drugs. We can’t have them pouring into our country. Just can’t have it. And this pig, he stands up to the wolf. Defeats him. Wow. It’s symbolic, you know? It’s about migrants, so many. The wolf is the story, it’s the threats coming over our border. And we need to be like that third pig, building big strong defenses. Solid defenses. Making sure we’re protected. And the pigs, they all end up in the brick house, safe from the wolf. Wow, like we need to keep our country safe from all the threats out there. Tremendous story. The best. And we’ve got tremendous people.

        Sorry, but that’s utterly unrealistic, it’s vaguely comprehensible, coherent and there is some logic to how the points link together.

        You’re clearly an intelligent adult, and so I’m afraid that the only way you could hope to emulate the original is by giving yourself significant brain damage, moderate alcohol poisoning and a topic you know nothing about, then writing three different paragraphs, mixing the sentences together, removing random words and scattering in some arbitrary pauses. Please don’t though, both for your sake and the favt that we already have enough verbal diarrhea in the world.

          Thanks for the notes, I found it was surprisingly difficult to emulate the style. The above was already after several rounds of nonsensification and I was thinking I had gone too far but on reflection should have gone further.

            Take pride in the favt that even when you try, and think you’ve gone too far, your attempt is still so far above the word vomit he produces.

      He’s literally just a babbling old man, if he weren’t one of the most important political figures in the country, he’d have been quietly confined to a home for Ivanka to take over the brand after her brothers fearing for their lives graciously bowed out of any race to take over the org amidst dear father’s “sudden yet consensual retirement.”

    People come up to me all the time and tell me how great my report on Gettysburg was. Great people. Best report they’ve ever seen. And they’ve seen a lot of reports. And they tell me mine was the best they’ve seen. But the crooked evil liberal teachers keep persecuting me and try to say my report wasn’t good. They try to give me an F, but I tell them it’s an A, because that’s what my papers get, because I’m the best student. Best student people have ever seen. Smart people see me and say that is the best student that has ever been. Make school great again!

      I wonder if he just blatantly ignores his teleprompter, or if he can’t read it as fast as it moves, so he misses most of it. Either way, it’s gotta be infuriating to have to write a good speech, get past some sort of review, just to have it totally butchered on stage.

        The rumor I’ve seen is that Trump needs glasses but refuses to wear them in public so he struggles to read the teleprompter.

        Or maybe he’s just illiterate?

          The dumbest people in the room always think they’re the smartest.

          Also it should be noted that trumps intel briefings were always dumbed down and explained. They were mostly maps and bullet points. Cuz he was a dumb fuck.

      I only saw if once you pointed it out. But I was going to comment that is what kids learn from Trump. Being a vague as possible, speaking without saying something.

    I was about to write that it’s not funny when the child has an obvious and quite severe learning disability, then I read the comments and the name. Speechless.

      To me it was the reverse. At first it was like haha the kid didn’t pay attention and is now trying to weasel out hoping the teacher won’t notice. Totally relatable. But then I looked up the name and the speech it’s referring to and… oh god… they’ve put an imbecile in charge of the most powerful country in the world, holy shit, that’s TERRIFYING.

    I only got it at “no longer in favor”. That’s when it clicked. Before that it just read like a student who had to write a one page essay on a topic he knew nothing about and tried to fill the lines.

      Some states have passed laws that do not allow them to profit from their crimes. Like by writing books or giving speeches about it.

        That’s horrible, one of the best ways to connect to young at-risk youths are rehabilitated adults that use their experience

          This is why OJ Simpson had to call his book “If I Did It”

          So he could recount and profit from the disgusting murders he committed. You think him profiting from his book sales helped at-risk youth?

            Was OJ convicted and then rehabilitated and then used his experience in a professional setting working with at risk youth?
