Trump repeatedly struggles to pronounce words during conspiracy-laden rally

before suggesting he'll pardon Roger Stone in late-night tweet


Donald Trump delivered a stumbling, incoherent and at times outright fictitious re-election rally addres in which he complained about a dog’s media coverage and appeared to approve calls to imprison Hillary Clinton.

The dark, grievance-filled speech to supporters, delivered at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Arizona, was followed by a tweet which appeared to suggest he may pardon convicted friend and former advisor Roger Stone.

It came just a day after Mr Trump, apparently emboldened by his impeachment acquittal, pardoned a host of white-collar criminals, many with personal connections to the president's donors and supporters.

Having falsely accused Democrats of attempting through impeachment to “poison our democracy and overthrow our entire system of government”, Mr Trump moved onto Conan, the military dog who was wounded during the Navy SEAL raid which killed Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

and to think he is the US PRESIDENT. DAMN


.............“Crooked Hillary spent at least three times more than we did and lost,” Mr Trump said, giving a thumbs up during the chants.

“Crooked as hell she’s crooked as hell,” he added, moving on to criticism of the Obama administration and former senior law enforcement officials who were involved in the FBI probes into his campaign.

“There are a lot of dishonest slimeballs out there. Dishonest scum. Dirty cops, lot of dirty cops … the ones on top, they were absolute scum,” he said to applause.

Amid a series of false claims and mistruths about his impeachment, poll ratings and his political opponents, Mr Trump also struggled with a number of words.

“Last month we ended the Nasta (sic), there’ve, look you saw it, Nafta, catastrophe and that’s what it was,” Mr Trump said in reference to the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement which was renegotiated by his administration last year.

Discussing an illegal immigrant convicted of murder, Mr Trump said: “This savage animal had previously been deported after serving six years in privit (sic), and you know he was in prison six years.”

Mr Trump also stumbled over the word “overdose” - mispronouncing it “overdoth” – before referring to “neonetical” research instead of “neonatal”.


Following his speech, Mr Trump used Twitter to peddle a number of false claims about the Democratic Party and to attack Mike Bloomberg – who faced a grilling during his first Democratic debate – before posting a clip of Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggesting the president was about to pardon Stone.

And everyone behind him who's laughing at his sophomoric "joke" and name calling are disgusting deplorables, just like Hillary said they were.

I truly can't wait for the day the media stops covering the shit that comes out of his mouth.

I just read an article on Crooks and Liars website. The person who wrote it used to work for trump on his tv show. He swears that trump is abusing Adderall and Sudafed. And can barely function.

I had one today that speculated that Bloomberg was going to relocate to Florida, because running mates can not be from the same state.

...and watch his lunatic/ Mussolini behavior.

I know nothing is going to change their sick minds, because the economy is good for them, or he speaks for their fears of immigrants and Muslims, or he reflects their blind hatred and fear of Democrats, liberals, gays, people of color, HRC-syndrome, etc. But listening to him and watching his lunatic behavior can't be a secret. As dumb, frightened and greedy as they are...it has to give them concern - unless they are blind and deaf.

It's the adderall and other drugs he takes before/after his rallies that makes him that way. It's why he always up late at night when he should be sleeping. Up late tweeting "covfefe" and other dumb tweets. He's a drug addict. Look it up.

who are surrounded by people who are paid to cover everything up..

Mushmouth could indicate a very small stroke, or it could mean dental work and the Novocain hasn't worn off.

What I find more concerning and have for the last three years is his content. Transcripts read by other people without the showman's delivery point it all out very clearly, his speech characterized by word salad and flight of ideas, the recognizable content often alternately bombastic and paranoid.

I've seen this a great deal over the years, mostly in people who fall into two categories: people with untreated mania and speed freaks. Either alternative is terrifying. And his base eats it up, all of it, because the high school pep rally format works so well.

My guess is that he's been on Adderal for years and usually takes it as prescribed. It's why his wacky Tweeting takes place at night or early morning, his day's dose has worn off. I think he also skips days and hoards the pills to grind up and send up his nose at his pep rallies, most showmen end up using substances to get through shows when they're really rather not.

Whatever is going on, he is clearly impaired at those pep rallies of his. Until and unless somebody points out the obvious in a convincing manner to his adoring public, nothing will be done about it.
