This would be so much cooler if he was talking about the weave, as in the magic of Faerun.
See that's why I thought it was incoherent, he was actually interacting with it where instead us mortals have to make mechanics and rules and
God I don't even want to overthink this, this is so beyond fun anymore.
The author gets to the crux near the end. Trump supporters don't come to speeches for policy, they come for performance art. That's what they expect from their leaders, because that's what they're trained to expect.
Between American entertainment trying to blur the lines between fantasy/ reality, and 24 hour news networks making everything a big deal the public at large has atrophied critical thinking skills.
The ol’ dementia weave.
Sure, sure. Let’s get you to bed grandpa.
Most elderly people I know take up knitting, but you wanna weave baskets while you ramble incoherently be my guest. Here's your soup. Don't spill it!
you go through this and you do it for two hours, and you don’t even mispronounce one word.
This man once mispronounced his own last name.
Natural born stupidity + narcissism + cocaine abuse + dementia + being surrounded by yes-men = “the weave”
Man, who'da thunk the damn old and clearly mentally unstable candidate cannot, for the life of him, form a coherent reasoning of any single subject? This is clearly a surprise to all
“I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer,” he told the crowd. “He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’”
Nobody's ever asked that question before because it's a stupid fucking question, not because you're a genius you dumb fucking prick. The person you asked is trying to let you down easy.
“Formal Thought Disorder” is a facet of dementia.
How many of these boxes does trump tick where he fails?
Examples of specific types of disorganized speech may include:
" you know what they say, 'He rambled. It's not rambling.
It's not rambling! It's just weaving off topic for a little bit while you're talking and then off of that topic to a third one and so on and then eventually maybe you just drop something so you can go back to the script. Rambling is something completely different, obvs.
Trump TRIES to rebrand. And we reject it and it's unsuccessful....
oh I get it, he was just pretending to be stupid.
“Do the weave”? I wonder if he meant to say “duck and weave”. Like a boxer.
"Grab 'em by the weave."
