Trump tried to paint his incoherent ramblings as a ‘weave’ of stories admired by his English professor friends – No, really!
Donald Trump‘s speeches have a tendency to spiral off course by the end of the first sentence, taking in such lofty and relevant topics as sharks, the carcinogenic properties of windmills, and the late, great Hannibal Lecter.
Imagine how embarrassed we were to discover that these weren’t the incoherent ramblings of a buffoon, but an oratorical technique of such genius that English professors have singled out Trump’s mastery of it for particular praise.
Trump: You know, I do the weave. You know the weave? I weave stories together. Friends of mine that are, like, English professors, they say it's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen

“I’ll talk about, like, nine different things and they all come back brilliantly together.”
We don’t know what his hard-hatted crowd thought, but these people were less than convinced.

I have eaten the plums
They were my plums
And which you were probably going to eat for breakfast
But they were mine
Nobody was talking about plums before I talked about them
Tremendously juicy
So sweet
And so mine https://t.co/mGjZyKp50D— A.R. Moxon (@JuliusGoat) August 31, 2024

See, when Biden slipped up in a speech it was a sign of cognitive decline, but Trump's rambling incoherence is just part of his oratorical genius. Don't believe me, just ask the New York Times pic.twitter.com/owdKU8Tf8R
