MSNBC Breaking News - Trump goes off the rails at Montana Rally

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

ETA I just posted this because that was the chyron on msnbc during Hardball.

[SummerSnow]

1. What did he say?

[anneboleyn]

12. I tried to summarize it in my post but it was more insane and grotesque then perhaps ever

He sounded drunk — and it got worse as the time passed by (as though whatever was kicking in). He was slurring again and breathing loudly and heavily (again). Then he made totally absurd BLATANTLY FALSE CLAIMS like “so many car companies have come back they can’t hire enough workers!”

And he claimed that Apple is spending 350 billion dollars here now and opening multiple factories right now in the US — also statements that used specific, racist statements — like the claim that Maxine Waters has an “IQ of 60” and weird references to dna tests and that Elizabeth Warren is not an “Indian” repeatedly saying “Indian”)

I will never understand the people who yell/clap at the OBVIOUSLY FALSE statements about Apple, car companies.

Then the usual “we are winning now more than ever” yet we are also somehow in the most precarious position ever and only Trump can save us, etc etc etc

22. His WWF crowd thrive on braggadocio

I saw this same crap play out (albeit on a smaller and tamer scale) when Jessie Ventura was governor of Minnesota. A lot of their fervor for a perceived strong man is a fantasy they want to believe so desperately. If it is proven otherwise, then it means they are stupid and picked the wrong guy. Their verbal gladiator is going to have to be bested and humiliated on an epic scale for them to slink away back into the shadows and fringes where they belong.

29. Very well said.

[lapfog_1]

36. It's the WWE only for politics

and his fans are just going for the "show" and because he "sticks it to those libtards (the other team)".

[sarah FAILIN]

25. I hate it when he breathes like that

Loudly....
You know what I mean

[Moostache]

30. I hate it when he breathes....period.

I have never in my life rooted and prayed harder for another human being to drop dead of a massive heart attack...ever!

The second I hear he has stopped breathing I am breaking open a bottle of the bubbly that was on ice circa November 2016...and I am not kidding in the least...I am going to celebrate like its 1999 all over again that night.

[superpatriotman]

32. I'll bring the edibles!

[AlexSFCA]

33. and I'll put up the american flag

[Vinca]

2. The man belongs in a rubber room. I bet half the crowd is just there for the show.

[tosh]

19. That's what I *want* to believe...

that some small part of the crowd are maybe MAGAts and all the rest are only there to be entertained by the freakshow that is history in the making.

[redstateblues]

3. Details please

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. There's this:

4. Sundowning in front of an audience.

[uponit7771]

7. +1

[anneboleyn]

15. Yep -- and/or drunk..slurring, gasping, bizarre tangents and WILD whoppers that the audience

could not even bring themselves to applaud — as in the “Apple is spending “350 billion” in the US and opening multiple factories in the US right now because of him (and many more)

[rurallib]

17. Trump doesn't drink - so it's probably cocaine.

[Orangepeel]

34. Why believe he doesn't drink?

He *says* he doesn’t drink or do drugs, but 1) he lies about eveything and 2) he is obviously on something.

I’d bet on cocaine, too, but I want to point out that almost everything he says it the opposite of reality. I don’t accept as fact that he doesn’t drink.

[oasis]

28. Damn. Missed it.

[htuttle]

5. He's all like...

"Shit. I know shit's bad right now. With all that starving bullshit. And the dust storms. And we're running out of French Fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution."

[Garrett78]

10. Idiocracy is here.

[BigmanPigman]

6. His complete meltdown will be seen as historically revolutionary

by his moronic base. Crazies love other crazies. They travel in packs (PACs too). He is the second coming, he walks on water, he makes seas open allowing him to cross...praise the lord and pass the fucking salt. What else is on TV , Mildred?

[Champion Jack]

8. did he have anothe stroke?

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Maybe?

Great Falls is about 600ft elevation. Lack of Oxygen?

[imanamerican63]

9. The problem is, his idiot base love it and him!

[cyclonefence]

11. Don Jr. just said that the New York Times said he shot pregnant dogs

"not prairie dogs, just pregnant dogs. There's that fake news for you." I decided to check. First of all, it was the New York Post, and second of all, it *did* say pregnant prairie dogs--because the article was *about* shooting prairie dogs. In breeding season, when most of the females would be pregnant. No one eats them, and there was no wildlife management involved, according to the Post.

[Hekate]

13. I always look at the crowd behind Trump to see if anyone has wakened from the trance. ...

No, apparently not. No matter how grotesque he becomes, they are all still smiling. It's chilling.

[anneboleyn]

18. It looked noticeably smaller (to me) I am sure Trump and co will claim that it is the biggest crowd

and so on but it looked smaller than his usual “speeches”

[OliverQ]

23. The people behind the podium may be paid. Other rallies have shown

a spike on craigslist of ads for people to come to his rallies and I've seen certain token people at multiple rallies right behind him.

[Hekate]

35. Fascinating

[Raine]

14. The crowd loved it

so that's what we're up against.

[LiberalArkie]

20. I wonder how much it costs to hire that many crisis actors?

[Initech]

37. I don't know but I hear Soros is hiring and he has deep pockets!

[VOX]

21. Can't recall a time when 45 was actually ON the rails.

He's always been the loosest of cannons. His one element of genius is dark and twisted: he can destroy decades of diplomatic effort in mere moments; and he can shift the polarity of our traditional allies to newly-minted antagonists, while drawing in the world's worst human rights offenders.

[oasis]

24. Trap closing in on the slimy rat.

[Iliyah]

26. Think shithole got the news about Cohen

[DeminPennswoods]

31. Always wonder what percent of the crowd just comes for

the show and a laugh.

[Initech]

38. That's breaking news?

Just once I want to see a headline - "Trump holds a speech in Oklahoma. Nothing eventful of note happened.". Is that too much to ask?
