    I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like “uh oh” and then over at the woman like “you heard that too, right?”

      Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.

        The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.

        Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.

        You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

            Yep. She’s one of them. I’m still baffled that any woman would willingly be MAGA. Goes to show how powerful propaganda, manipulation, hate, and fear are. Repubs did a fantastic job fortifying their control over decades, installing a dictator, and sowing doubt and distrust with current election practices. Trump is one of many threats.

            Edit: Blows my mind, really. She’s youngish (40s or so, I’m not willing to Google her), black, articulate, educated, and a woman. Just makes zero sense why she would be MAGA when that party wants to suppress her. Literally so confused, but yep she’s deeply MAGA. Why would a woman, a black woman, support the racist group that wants to enslave or kill her? Leopards will definitely eat her face.

    Haven’t watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word “amorphous”

      Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

      Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

        He likely meant “ubiquitous”. Then again, with the wavy hands…

        For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

      He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can’t function.

            It’s exhausting but if you examine what he says you’ll find there is some sense to his ramblings. It’s how he blurts them without any context that gives away his dementia

      He’s talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he’s said, it’s like the boy who cried wolf, when it’s actually noteworthy we’re already tired of hearing it.

        You’re doing what the media and his followers do, though. You’re interpreting for him.

        There may be a coherent idea behind what he says but his ability to express it is severely deficient which is further evidence that he is unfit for the presidency.

        Take a second to remind yourself that if “this is one of the most coherent thing’s he’s said,” how far the bar has been lowered for him and this behavior.

        “It’s not fair to pick on him for this, he completed a full sentence!” Oh, well whoopity-fucking-doo for him.

        “Energy is required for all work” is not really a noteworthy statement.

        If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did, it might be noteworthy, except for the fact that it would be inevitably followed by an incessant stream of gibberish.

          So you have a problem with the sentence itself and not that it was spoken by Trump?

            That’s the complete opposite of what NABDad said. “If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did,” implies a belief that the sentence is at the very least marginally incoherent. Which further implies that they do actually have a problem with the sentence itself.

            Is your suggestion to the contrary a mistake made because you were overinvested in the point you’re trying to argue, or was it purposeful misinterpretation?

            Actually, I have a problem with both.

            It’s a completely unnecessary statement for anyone with an elementary school level understanding of the world. However, if a candidate for president of the United States is going to make such an inane statement, he should at least speak coherently.

            Work requires energy. That’s easy to say, and easy to understand.

            Trump talks like a six year old trying to explain to his parents what he learned in school today.
