The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as ever—but also slurred his words on several occasions.

Trump stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was “greater even than Elvis” because unlike the King, he doesn’t have a guitar—a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.

    Fucker’s still got half the vote. Maybe we do deserve the punishment for being so stupid! History will repeat itself, and it looks like its happening soon.

      It’s propaganda. People that choose to consume corporate media (even us here) are often duped by propagandists, but Fox and Newsmax are among the absolute worst literally fabricating a false reality for their viewers so that they feel victimized by their opposition and see Trump as their savior…

      It’s so fucking gross.

      Obligatory: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!

        Fear and being dumb are two different things. This person is experiencing fear and has every right to feel that way.

        Some people react to fear with words, some hide it and some get violent. Some of us do all three. No reason to pick on people because they express their fears with honest words instead of some of the alternatives.
