Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” ~~or~~ and he doesn’t understand energy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

I love how uncomfortable the fan is. Never meet your heroes, eh fucknut?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"Fan," isn't that the guy that got arrested in the Carolinas for being and armed militia and targeting FEMA workers? Or did that guys mug shot just happen to look just like this guy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Never happen. Best case scenario is "maybe I'm not into politics anymore"

He just wanted to steal glances at hot lady. They don't usually let him get that close

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (4 children)

The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.

Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.

You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

I laughed out loud at his reaction

“Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (5 children)

What is he talking about again ?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 8 months ago (3 children)

He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (4 children)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Maybe if you don’t make donuts.

I don't know if he even knows for sure

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.

Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here

He's talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he's said, it's like the boy who cried wolf, when it's actually noteworthy we're already tired of hearing it.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago

Take a second to remind yourself that if "this is one of the most coherent thing's he's said," how far the bar has been lowered for him and this behavior.

"It's not fair to pick on him for this, he completed a full sentence!" Oh, well whoopity-fucking-doo for him.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You’re doing what the media and his followers do, though. You’re interpreting for him.

There may be a coherent idea behind what he says but his ability to express it is severely deficient which is further evidence that he is unfit for the presidency.

"Energy is required for all work" is not really a noteworthy statement.

If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did, it might be noteworthy, except for the fact that it would be inevitably followed by an incessant stream of gibberish.

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

He’s manifesting donuts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

hahhaha guys face "what the fuck is he going on about"

"I've made a huge mistake"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

I'm impressed, to be honest, "amorphous" is probably the biggest word I've ever heard him use.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Mr. Finite Battery Heart aficionado at his best. Ugh.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

With Obama care he'd have his 24/7 day care for free already.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but so would other people he doesn't like. Better we all suffer, but at least someone else suffers more.

This is the classic dementia "word salad". I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it's going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.
