Many people are saying Viktor Autobahn, who invented highways, is a Turkish Delight. Bigly people. You wouldn’t believe it. They come to me and they say “Mr. President Sir, have you seen what he’s doing with the cars and the trucks? He’s got them driving on roads and it’s wonderful.” And I say of course! The cars need roads tremendous roads and that’s why when I win in 2024 I’m going to build so many highways and roads and streets. The democrats said “let’s not have streets, we need to drive horses” can you believe that, folks? They were going to take away the roads and the driveways and we weren’t gonna have any more hotdog carts because there’d be no streets! You want a hot dog you can forget about it. The democrats weren’t going to let you have any hotdogs.

Ain’t nobody’s business but the Turks’.
My brain broke trying to read this, so well done!
The key with Trump is at the beginning, middle and end of the speech should have absolutely no bearing on each other.
I used to enjoy going on jokey old man ramblerants like that. This fucker ruined it for us all.
Trump took Abe Simpson seriously.
We've reached a sad point in time, when one thinks "Surely, that's not something he really said." but, in the back of your mind you're still not 100% sure that he didn't actually say it.
like this gem:
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”
How come it's Biden and not Turnip who has the 'too old and senile' tag in the media?
If you say a thing often enough people start to believe it. Because people are fucking morons.
Trump is animated by amphetamines when he's in public.
Because even a 20 year younger Trump would not be any better or smarter. So its not an age thing with him, but an asshole and idiot thing
For the same reason people think that 20 bucks is too expensive, but 19.99 is cheap enough. 77 ain't far off from 80 in reality. No matter how you play it, biases play a huge role in our perception.
The claim is purported by media supporting him
The photo, Mr. Trump is doing the "Double dick jerk off" impression
It's not my best work, but here you go.
Stunning. It should hang in the Louvre.
People are saying I do the best bukkake. I met a guy who's a bukkake expert and do you know what he told me? He said, "Sir, you bukkake so perfectly. So perfectly." Can you believe that?
And, is it just me, or is he even more orange than usual?
He said he was the best father to two of his sons... 🤔
I don't think he knows about the D2F ratio.
He likes it in his eyes
Middle out
“There’s a man, Viktor Orbán, did anyone ever hear of him?” Trump said, referring to the Hungarian prime minister.
I can't stand the way he always asks these inane questions so he can set himself up as super knowledgeable as he blows your mind with basic facts. But then he always fucks up the answers anyways.
It’s cause he had no idea who he was until someome on his team told him
Also just demonstrates how much he really believes that the people he's talking to are complete and utter morons and that he's this absolute genius.
Have you ever heard of the high elves?
yes, once [puff puff]
I'm not sure if he is declining or about the same? At least he got the names right this time. I would half expect to hear about "President Arby's of Nambia" or some shit.
He got the country wrong though. Victor Orban is the leader of Hungry. Erdogan is the leader of turkey...and if I recall correctly those two know each other too.
Sure, but is that any worse than calling the CEO of Apple Tim Apple?
It's along the level of this insult. At the level of statesmanship you expect from a president of a country, that's not a mistake you make. For someone calling his general election opponent senile, it seems like he's living in a glass house with a slingshot.
Such a glorious rendition. I stood and cried. :')
Yeah, I know, I'm surprised that's all he mixed up.
"crime in cities. They STILL haven't caught THE hamburgler! SAD"
To be honest, at least Orbán IS a leader. So he got it somewhat right. Which is good for a four year old.
And it is in a similar geopolitical region. Still not good enough for a voter, much less a politician, but still I think that’s solidly in the realm of standard American stereotype.
Like being generous I can see how one might mix up Erdogan and Orbán, their last names are pronounced similar in our language and they’re both far right ultra socially conservative leaders who probably won’t leave office without force. That said, nobody would ever give that benefit of the doubt to Jill Stein much less Joe Biden. Hell, if my representative didn’t catch themselves on that mixup I’d be concerned.
He gets them confused because turkey makes him hungry
I don’t think they serve Turkey at McDonald’s.
Beaten by a mere 10 hours. Curses!
I know he said a lot of dumb shit in his life, but this feels like he's mentally degrading even further.
Yeah before it felt like early stage and pre dementia mixed with something like untreated and unapologetic NPD. Now it’s like watching your racist grandpa’s brain turn to soup as he rants about black people running the world’s banks and how we need to build a wall to keep the irish out.
Just too hard to keep track of all these different fascists and authoritarians guess.
Why, oh why did the lions of Antarctica elect this clown their king.
Ok, this got a good laugh out of me. He's a funny fellow, this orange clown.
Viktor Orban loves Thanks Giving
orban kinda looks like a turkey by now, so i guess that's where the confusion comes from.
Well of course he did and of course his rabid, uneducated followers believe every word he said.
