The potential future president had also told the crowd, "You know they say you gotta vote with your stomach, I don't know if you've heard it but it's a little bit true," before launching into some questionable food inflation numbers.

"Food has gone up at levels that nobody's ever seen before," he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. "We've never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent."

The online response to Trump's odd claims has been relentless, with one X/Twitter user writing, "Operation let him talk is going exceedingly well."

Humorous, but not exactly what he said. However, it was the ramblings of an insane man so who the hell knows where his mind was at. Jibbajabbamasterlocks

Actually no one really knows what he said, he started saying that many people no longer eat bacon. Then out of nowhere for a second talked about wind turbines that they dint always produce power, then returned back to food and inflation.

With that if you would want to summarize the thought he was trying to say what would you arrive at? Of course other explanation is just gibberish, but that isn't much better.

No sharks? Electric cars are out of equations with Msuk check so he has to find other things

Electric sharks powered by tide energy.

Excellent, excellent. Now. Tell me about their lasers.

Insert some lunatic's ethnic space laser garbage conspiracy, but add sharks in there.

ITS A SHARKENESEISH SPACE LASER TIDE POD NADO!

[-] garpujol@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

YES, sharks have the best tide pods.

[-] garpujol@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

I always wondered where tide pods came from. I never knew they were harvested from sharks. Shark caviar I guess. No wonder people like to eat them.

This sounds like you want to start a fight. We are on the same side. Stop.

Not really.

I just added more context, because you said that's not exactly what he said, but he kind of did. If anyone else would said this in that order you would think that the person believes the wind power has something to do with bacon.

I agree that he is rambling and losing the topic of what he is talking about and actually that alternative is worse than if he truly believed wind farms prevent people from eating bacon. Also a title "trump rambles again" wouldn't interested anyone.

I think it’s important to focus on the wide range of things he actually says than the absolute ramblings of a mad man. A better headline might be “Trump rambles on about bacon and wind power at (whatever location)”
