Trump, insisting he’s doing ‘the weave,’ gets called out for rambling answers by moderator

35 comments

1. He needs a weave for that terrible comb-over

2. If what he does is “the weave”, then “the weave” is giving rambling incoherent answers to questions.

3. Donald Duck ‘n Weave

4. “I’m not having diarrhoea, I’m weaving into my toilet.”

5. Only ‘weave’ I’ve seen is that fat old bastard weaving on stage at that trainwreck of a townhall– a weave that notably included him giving two invisible handjobs as he’s wont to do.

6. I love how he’s trying to “brand” his incoherent ramblings.

   Trailing off into 10 other irrelevant subjects isn’t a speaking style, Donnie. It just means you’ve lost your mind.

7. The journalists that are sane-washing Trump are going to be among his first victims if he returns to power. People will make terrible long term decisions for short term financial gain. 

8. I like how he thinks this is some big “gotcha” or justification for why he talks the way he does…. when you’re the President of the United States, the dumbest person in the crowd should be able to understand what you’re saying and relate to it. Bush Jr. famously “dumbed down” his public speaking. Obama and Clinton didn’t really dumb themselves down, but they were just so good at public speaking you could follow along easily.

   Trump is just rambling incoherently, which is bad, but then he’s claiming he’s just speaking in some complex jabberwockian syntax, which is also bad for public speaking. Either way he looks like an idiot.

9. The “weave” aka Alzheimer’s Sundowners, Someone needs to contact Adult Protective Services.

10. If that’s “weaving” both the warp and the weft are tangled and fraying.

11. This interview was so awkward to watch. Trump doesn’t understand basic economics that it’s embarrassing.

12. He’s demented and he was a moron before he lost his mind. He’s also 78 years old, morbidly obese, and a convicted rapist and felon. On 1/6/21, he organized and riled up a large group of people to attack the capitol. Yet half the country still wants him to be President. How has our country gotten so stupid and cruel?

13. Just a gentle reminder. It is not just about Trump being old or incoherent, he has proved in past to be incompetent as a president.

    The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up during his presidency. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 36.3% from 2016. – The effect of last trade tarrifs.

    Violent crime was up under Trump and has reduced under Biden.

    Trump is not first time candidate, we already know what are implications of his presidency. He also suggested injecting disinfectant as a possible cure for Covid-19 in a public address as the president. He also morphed the map of Hurricane Dorian with a sharpie in actual public release of cyclone warnings as president of the USA.

    People need to stop loving Trump for his vibes. We already know Mexico did not pay for the border wall. It is not 2016 that Trump’s words can be taken at face value. Much less assuming favourably about his actions on stage.

    Just plain facts.

14. Stop trying to make weave happen.

15. We was a weaving and a wobbling to Ave Maria four fucking times!

16. He’s basically a meme now.

    Interviewer: Mr president what do you think of boarder control.

    Trump: let’s talk about buttered sausage, where it comes from, what it does…

17. > I don’t comment on that, but I will tell you that if I did ]talk to Putin post-presidency], it’s a smart thing.

    Oh look he read the narcissists prayer.

18. I seriously cannot listen to him anymore. Posters please give transcripts of what you are posting, plz!

19. There is a debatr technique called the Gish Gallop that Trump uses https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-09-05/gish-gallop-and-the-harris-trump-debate.
    It’s similar to old sales techniques where the salesman just keeps talking in an attempt to wear down a mark so they just give up and buy what he’s selling.

20. He weaves in his pants too.

21. Bottom of his class at Wharton. Just sayin.

22. Weave = ramblings from a senile loser

23. Police officer : “Sir, are you under the influence of alcohol or narcotics?”

    Driver: “No, I’m doing the weave”.

24. His brain is mush.

25. “The Weave”: formerly known as word salad.

26. Can we all agree. The weave is not a thing. Unless describing the meandering word salad of mental illness

27. >“I inherited that war. There were no wars. And, by the way, by the way, and I think it’s very important to go, you know, I call it the weave. You can call it kind of, you have the weave, as long as you end up in the right location at the end. But while we’re talking about it, we have never been so close to World War III as we are right now with what’s going on in Ukraine and Russia in the Middle East,” Trump said at one point.

    Brain dead.

28. Blathering babble from a dark heart out of a mouth that is an open tomb.

29. Half of America “yeah idk tho, i read on facebook that Kamala is going to execute all men”

30. Dodging questions and answering off topic now called “the weave”. Got it!

31. Meanwhile, on the r-cons sub they’ve been accusing Harris of “word salad” when the reality is that she’s just using big words and metaphors. The most recent one being her “constellations” quote and reading it all I can think of is whether or not the average right winger understands what a metaphor is.

    https://nypost.com/2024/10/14/us-news/kamala-bashed-over-word-salad-on-constellations-galileo-harris/

    >>“I talked with somebody once who said, ‘You know, if you just look at, where the stars are in the sky. Don’t look [at] ’em as just random things, if you just look at ’em as points,’ ” Harris responded. ” ‘Look at the constellation — what does it show you?’

    Oh no! A metaphor about a pattern emerging out of seemingly random data points. The horror of word salad!

    Meanwhile Trump bobbing on stage for half an hour listening to opera and scrambling for basic responses to basic questions.

32. This is like the “alternative facts” response when caught lying . It is a cover for being unfocused and rambling.

33. >“If I can finish, I’ll go longer if you want … You got to be able to finish a thought, because it’s very important.”

    Yes, Mr. Weird Orange Dementia-Ridden Baboon, it **IS** very important to be able to finish a thought – **especially** if you want to be the President.

34. **W**ander
    **E**verywhere
    **A**nd
    **V**erbally
    **E**vade

35. Don’t legitimize this stupid shit.

    What he calls the “weave” is what sane, rational people call being a fucking incoherent moron.
