His speech in Michigan was quite the spectacle.
Apparently, whatever Donald Trump took before his rally in Walker, Michigan, wasn’t enough. He was an hour late, stumbled through his speech, and slurred his words while telling a series of unbelievable lies.
But that wasn’t all. Trump stood before the crowd and insisted that what they were witnessing wasn’t actually happening.
When he predictably reached the topic of crowd size—a subject he hasn’t been able to drop for the past 18 days—he did something inexplicable.
He pointed to people leaving the crowd, drew attention to them by saying, “The people that you see leaving?” and then claimed, “Nobody ever leaves.”
That’s strange. The words you’re reading aren’t just words; they’re expressions of disbelief at how utterly bizarre Donald Trump is.
Feel free to read that again. Let’s recap. Where are we now? Oh yes:
- People are leaving
- Nobody leaves
- When people leave, I wrap up so it seems like I was finished anyway
I think I’m caught up now.
Social media quickly noticed the “discrepancy” between reality and Trump’s version of events. One commenter said, “Don’t believe your own eyes or ears, just believe me.” Another joked, “They’re all just going to the bathroom at the same time.”
Perhaps my favorite comment was one I imagined in Trump’s voice: “Trust me, they’re leaving.”
The whole situation sounds like a comedy routine: “I don’t breathe. And when I do breathe, I only inhale, never exhale. But if I do exhale, which I don’t, it’s only so I can breathe, and there’s room for me to inhale again. Which of course, I don’t need to do because I don’t breathe.”
See the comedic moment for yourself:
