😅 Trump Complains About People Saying He's Sweaty and Slurs Speech

Paragraph 1 summarizes a recent Trump speech in Las Vegas where he complained about people saying he sweats a lot and that it's hot at his rallies. Trump slurred his words and didn't make much sense.

😳 Trump Obsessed With Dementia, Falsely Brags About His Genes

Paragraph 2 covers Trump's fixation on dementia during the speech. He incorrectly claimed his uncle was the longest serving MIT professor to boast about his genes. Trump pushed for mandatory dementia testing for candidates and seemed to indicate most people have dementia compared to him. His excessive focus on the topic suggests he is worried about criticism of his own cognitive health.

Keywords

💡dementia

Dementia is a condition involving severe cognitive decline and memory loss. Trump brings up dementia repeatedly in the speech, claiming the cognitive tests are very difficult and most people couldn't pass them. He seems worried about accusations that he is suffering from dementia, especially from Nikki Haley. Trump insists he doesn't have dementia because of his 'genes' and because he passed the test.

💡terrorist attack

Trump baselessly predicts there will be a major terrorist attack in the US soon. He blames this on Biden's presidency over the last 3 years. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. Trump has made similar false predictions before, like claiming the stock market would crash if Biden won.

💡shoplifting

Trump proposes a very harsh solution to shoplifting - severely punishing or doing 'anything you want' to the first shoplifter as a deterrent. This promotes a cruel 'tough on crime' ideology rather than addressing root causes.

💡defamation

Trump vaguely alludes to the recent $83 million verdict against him for defaming E. Jean Carroll. He says 'look at the crap that's going on' and 'somehow it all works out', implying the large penalty has made him cautious about attacking Carroll further.

💡felony

The narrator mentions Trump has 91 felony counts against him, referring to the criminal investigations into Trump's finances and business practices in New York.

💡genes

Trump insists he doesn't have dementia multiple times by citing his 'genes', claiming his uncle was a professor at MIT so he has 'good genes'. This promotes a false idea that intelligence and mental fitness are purely genetic.

💡Fox News

Fox News and Sean Hannity are mentioned as influences on Trump's false predictions about terrorist attacks under Biden. The right-wing network continues to shape Trump's rhetoric and ideology.

💡stocks

The narrator notes that despite Trump's 2020 prediction of a stock market crash under Biden, stocks have continued hitting record highs. This highlights the inaccuracy of Trump's economic doom and gloom predictions.

💡prison

The narrator suggests Trump may spend the rest of his life in prison due to the criminal investigations against him. This underscores the serious legal jeopardy Trump faces.

💡Lauren Boebert

The narrator mentions Lauren Boebert may lose her House seat soon. She represents the extremist far-right faction that Trump's movement has empowered.

Transcripts

Speaker 1: A slurring and sweaty Donald Trump  gave a speech in Las Vegas. I'm starting to  

think that the people around Trump are watching  my content. Trump complaining about the fact that  

people say he's sweaty and he's at his rallies  when he is so obviously sweaty at his rallies,  

he claims that it's 100 degrees at every rally.  It was 100 degrees in Iowa in January. No,  

it was record cold where it was so cold, they were  worried people weren't going to come out and vote.  

But Trump says it gets really hot. He really  doesn't like people talking about his sweater. 

Speaker 2: It's 110 degrees sometimes in some  of these buildings weren't built for the crowds  

like this. And if I'm a little bit wet, they  say, oh, he was sweating. He was sweating. I  

don't think that too many people up here  that wouldn't be sweating, that too many  

people could speak the first paragraph. Speaker 1: You know, I genuinely have no  

idea how many other media outlets include Trump's  incredibly soaking wet appearance in their titles  

and reporting. We suspected in 2020 that there was  someone around Trump who was watching our content,  

and maybe that's where they're getting this, and  people are telling Trump, they're saying, you're  

sweaty, sir, sir, sir, there's ready. Okay. A lot  of the rally focused on dementia. Trump telling  

the crowd that many of them have dementia. Trump  saying the dementia test is really hard. And in  

the midst of all this, before we get to it, Trump  coming up with this phrase peace through Earth,  

which is not a phrase I'm familiar with. Speaker 2: And we will restore this  

planet peace through Earth. I am the only  candidate who can make this promise to you. 

Speaker 1: I it's the only. It's the only person  I've ever heard say he will deliver peace through  

earth. I thought it was peace through strength.  But Trump, apparently the prompter must have  

been glitchy coming up with his own version of  that. All right, so then we go into the hardcore  

dementia stuff. When Trump gets this obsessed with  one topic, you know he's worried about it. Here,  

Trump starts by calling for mandatory dementia  tests for all presidential candidates, which,  

by the way, Nikki Haley has also called for. Speaker 2: And I think anybody running for  

president should take an aptitude or a cognitive  tests. I do like thinking, there you go, people  

that can fascinate. And I took one in office.  Remember they were saying first they said, this  

guy is brilliant. He wants to take over the world.  He wants to take that didn't work. Then they went  

to about four different scenarios. Then they said  he wants total control of the United States. He's  

never going to give up control. He's totally  brilliant. Then they went to a different well,  

that didn't work too much. I didn't scare people.  Then they said, he's dumb as a rock, this dumb as  

a rock. I said, all that one I don't like. So  I said to Doctor Ronny, do you know Doc Ronny  

from Texas, the white House doctor. All right. Speaker 1: So he says everybody should take the  

tests. He's clearly very worried because Nikki  Haley is now targeting him on this issue. Trump  

says he definitely doesn't have dementia because  he's related to someone who taught at MIT. 

Speaker 2: Texas. And I said to him, you know,  Ronnie, I'd like to take a cognitive test. I never  

heard of it before, but whatever it is, I like  tests. I've always liked test tests, sir. Very  

interesting. And, you know, I had an uncle. Speaker 1: Tests are interesting.  

There's an insight. Speaker 2: He's the  

longest serving professor doctor John Trump in the  history of MIT. Same genes. We have change. Which. 

Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think that's  right. It seems that this guy he's mentioning  

taught at MIT 37 years, but there are a whole  bunch of other professors that have taught  

there longer. Gilbert Strang, Heather Lichtman.  There. She's been there since 74. Even. Even that  

is a lie. He can't tell the truth about anything. Speaker 2: People be smart people, you know. We're  

like race, Mr. Lieutenant governor. We're  like race horses, too. You know, the first  

ones produced the fast ones and the slow. Yeah. Speaker 1: So anyway, Trump's genes and his blood  

apparently make him, certainly not having any  issues. Trump then seems to tell the people in  

the room that lots of them have dementia. This.  You know, it's an unusual strategy. I've never  

seen a candidate rally his base by telling a  crowd of supporters that they have dementia.  

But that's what Trump is effectively doing here. Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough test. The first  

couple of questions are easy. Like you have a  lion, a giraffe, a whale and a shark. And they'll  

say, which one is the lion? Okay. And that's  all the press covered. The first question. They  

didn't cover the last question. Multiply 4733.  Multiply times seven. Divide without paper and  

pencil. By the way. Divide it by four. Speaker 1: You know, this question he's  

describing wasn't on the test we saw that  he took. So it's actually he seems to be  

lying about the content of the test as well. Speaker 2: Add up another 37.5 point five I  

remember that. And what's your number? How many  people in this room could do it? Not too many. Or  

they give you six names that are. I took a lot  of heat on this. They give you six names in a  

row at the beginning, sir, I'm going to give you  six names. Go ahead and look at them. A chair,  

a hat, a badge, a necklace and a  vote. Those things. We're going to  

give you six things. And I said. Speaker 1: One person clapping.  

I love that someone like those six things. Speaker 2: What's going on? Can you rename  

them side name? Can they go back? And if you can  do it in order, that's even better. I do them  

in order. Perfect. Then they come back to you 30  minutes later at the end. Last question. They say,  

what were those six things? And there are too  many people. And I get they left. Everyone said,  

oh, that's so easy. There's only about 2% of  this room can do. But I did it. There you go. 

Speaker 1: So Trump apparently indicating that  98% of this room has more cognitive decline than  

he does. You know, the fact that he's talking  about this so much tells us he's very worried  

about it. And I have to say, if you're insisting  dementia tests and brain injury tests are hard.  

You might have a problem. It's a. I don't know  how else to say it, but these are tests meant  

to screen for pretty serious stuff. And Trump's  arguing they are extraordinarily difficult tests.  

It's all getting really weird. And, you know,  he's extremely worried because Nikki Haley is  

talking about this. Fox news has started  talking about it. Now, more substantively,  

Trump has started to say during speeches  that there will be a terrorist attack soon. 

Speaker 2: And there's a 100% chance  that there will be a major terrorist  

attack in the United States. So many  attacks may be and it's all because of  

what's happened over the last three years. Speaker 1: He believes because Sean Hannity  

suggested it to him. He said it the other day,  that there will be if Joe Biden remains president,  

there will be a major terrorist attack. Now,  the truth is, at any time, there may be a major  

terrorist attack. Trump has made a number  of these predictions. For example, in 2020,  

he said that if Biden wins, there will be a  1929 style stock market crash. Stocks hit yet  

another all time high last week. There might  have been two new all time highs last week,  

so my suggestion is take these predictions with  a grain of salt. Trump suggesting a solution to  

shoplifting. This is an interesting one. Speaker 2: You can solve that in one hour.  

All you do is one hour. You have to treat  the first one out the door of the next  

time it happens. Extremely tough. That means  anything you want to do. And as soon as that  

word gets out and you let people know from now  on, you don't walk out with aspirin. You're not. 

Speaker 1: There. You go walk out  with aspirin. It's going to be very,  

very serious. And then lastly, this is as  close as Trump came to mentioning Gene. Carol,  

the point of $83 million as as a verdict is  it has to be painful enough that Trump won't  

keep defaming her. He doesn't mention her  name. He just very superficially alludes to  

it. So maybe the 83 million was the right verdict. Speaker 2: He is a real threat. What they're doing  

with elections and election interference  as an example. What they do with me,  

look at yesterday, look at all this crap that's  going on. But we keep marching forward. We just  

keep going. And somehow it all works out. Speaker 1: It all works out. So listen,  

it sounds like the verdict was big enough  to scare Trump off from continuing to attack  

Eugene Carol and saying, I never met her and she's  not attractive enough for me to sexually assault  

around the whole thing. This guy suffering,  this guy suffering. And I would be suffering  

if I were in his shoes. It's the truth. If I had  91 felony counts against me, $83 million finding  

maybe going to lose the ability to do business  in New York, potentially spending the rest of  

my life in prison. I'd be struggling to. And he  is very clearly struggling. It would be great if,  

as a country, we realized this guy has no business  being anywhere near the Oval Office, someone else  

who has no business being near elected offices.  Lauren Boebert we might be about to knock Boebert  

out of the House of Representatives after this  short break. I want to talk to you about that.
