In WV Trump Goes on Rant Comparing 'Deals' to His Mother's Turkey, Which Was 'The Greatest'

Speaking to an enthusiastic rally crowd in West Virginia on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said deals have to “gestate” just like his beloved mother’s Thanksgiving turkeys. It all started when Trump was talking about China.

“I have tremendous respect for China. I mean, the energy, the genius…it’s incredible what they have done. We can’t do it, it’s got to be a two-way street. We have only one-way streets,” Trump opined. “You know what bothers me? I have people coming to me, some people in Congress ‘sir, can you get this deal done immediately?'”

He then said that the deal wouldn’t be any good if he did that because “it’s gotta gestate. The word ‘gestate.'” The president continued on, “Like when you are cooking a chicken. Time…Time… Turkey for Thanksgiving.”

Then Trump said this: “My mother would say 8 hours. I said ‘8 hours?’… She made the greatest turkey I ever had. It takes time. It takes time. So when they run and say can you do NATO right now, can you sign it next week? I say, wait a minute…I like Mexico. I like the new leader. I think he’s gonna be terrific. A little different than us. I think I am doing better with him than with the capitalist. But he knows Mexico needs the United States.”

For the record, cooking a turkey is usually called “roasting” not “gestating.” In addition, according to Butterball, roasting a turkey does not take nearly 8 hours.

1. As if Trump's mother ever cooked a Thanksgiving dinner

The only time she went into the kitchen on Thanksgiving would be to scream at the help.

[dalton99a]

2. Exactly

[njhoneybadger]

5. Holy fucking Fright Night!

[peekaloo]

10. he combs his hair like mommy!

that's a bitchin' curl

[Hortensis]

27. Oh, yes! His style has always born a strong resemblance

to her elaborate carapaces and dress, even though the two did not seem to have a close relationship and he almost never talks about her.

And when he does, "mother," "gestate"? What's THAT all about?

[gratuitous]

17. She seems nice

In a Cryptkeeper-meets-Elsa Lanchester kind of way.

[Nevilledog]

35. She looks like a Tim Burton character in Nightmare Before Christmas.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. Every time.

[njhoneybadger]

3. I know of one turkey she gestated.

But It wasn't eight hours it was nine months

[Pachamama]

4. Bwahahahaha.....

[PunkinPi]

6. ...

[peekaloo]

8. .

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. ROFLMAO

[FSogol]

7. We do know his Mom gestated at least one turkey!

It is orange, has tiny hands, and a sphincter-like pie hole.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

9. What came first? ...

The chicken or the turkey?

[underpants]

11. "I say, wait a minute..." Mexico is in NATO? Obrador hasn't taken office.

Trump doesn't like "the capitalist"?

Holy smokes. Aside from the stupid turkey thing that paragraph made me dumber.

12. I was falling asleep to the BBC World Service radio when they went live to that

They'd had a bit of discussion of co-conspirators and such, and then said they'd go live to his speech, because he was scheduled to talk about coal, for which they had a commentator on the line. So we heard '...the word gestate. Like when you're cooking a chicken. Time. Time. Turkey for Thanksgiving ...'.

I really thought until now I'd misheard 'gestate', and it had been 'baste' or something.

Then presenter then came back in, saying "OK ... he's talking about ... turkeys. Umm, we'll move on ...".

Someone recently compared Trump speeches to awful imitations of Joyce's Ulysses - a stream of consciousness from someone with barely a coherent thought in their head. What happens in his mind that when he says "gestate" in a sentence, he stops, associates it with cooking, and then tells thousands of people about that, knowing it will be reported around the country and world? Even the rabid audience don't want stuff like that - they wanted to be told its was OK to burn coal, and given a 2 minute hate of Hillary, Mueller or whoever.

They Trump has never been an alcohol drinker. He sounds permanently like the crap you come up with after a whole evening drinking.

[underpants]

14. Great post

I will say that I took his "gestate" pause was for him to basque in what he is certain is their awe at his using that word and then internally laughing to himself how smart he is to have tricked them and how dumb they are to follow. He really really doesn't like the non-rich.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. I see what you mean - showing off that he does know some big words too

and milking it when he's managed to use one.

[underpants]

16. Two whole syllables

Someone's hooked on phonics

[Grasswire2]

25. like he does with the word "reciprocity" nt

[3catwoman3]

29. That will probably be his new fovorite word for...

...a while, like reciprocal/reciprocity (or whatever the hell it was) and he will use it every chance he gets.

His ridiculously limited vocabulary make me want to scream -

[MoonRiver]

31. But "sad" will always remain his fav.

[3catwoman3]

37. Along with ba-a-a-a-ad and...

...disgrace.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes he does

It is like all the circuits in his brain are misfiring and being he has such a limited vocabulary to begin with, it sounds totally bizarre. His use of some words is stunning - "gestating" the turkey? What a strange, strange man.

[Grasswire2]

23. sounds like midnight in the dayroom of my auntie's nursing home to me..

...where the several residents who can't sleep are all talking at once.

[maxrandb]

13. Apparently, she brined it in her "hoo-haaa"

according to Donnie Short Fingers, she "gestated" it.

I'm not fucking making that up

[Grasswire2]

21. in her "hoo-haaa" lolololololol

Gawd I love the Internets.

[Grasswire2]

24. I'll take "brined in her hoo haaa for twenty" Alex nt

[Javaman]

19. as if the orange assholes sociopath mother actually cooked anything.

she was a real piece of work.

[Grasswire2]

20. you gotta watch the video.

I'm no expert on assessing people who are tweaked out on something....but isn't he????

These unhinged, untethered flights of blabber....

If he was a drooler too we might be able to get him in a home.

[Vinca]

22. Maybe his mother used to brine turkey and he's thinking marinate. Who the hell knows?

It's like the babbling and muttering heard outside the barred windows of a psychiatric facility.

[Hortensis]

26. Maybe Trumbaby wants to retreat to his mother's womb

and gestate in safety. There's certainly no safety in the corner he's trapped himself in.

[appleannie1943]

28. At the proper roasting time, that turkey would have been dry as cardboard.

[mainstreetonce]

30. You learn something new every day

If you let the chicken gestate long enough ....Turkey!

[MoonRiver]

34. LOL

[matt819]

32. I can't wait for the fact checkers

You know it's coming. Quotes from trump family members back in the mists of time commenting on the fact the mom wasn't that good a cook, never cooked meal in her life, etc.

[33taw]

33. It reminds me of when Nixon was melting down and started saying how his mother was a

Saint, but that they would never write about her.

[maxrandb]

36. God help us if he gets a dog

Like Nixon and the famous Checkers speech.

God help the dog too.

[Different Drummer]

40. I've suspected this for awhile, but the OP confirms it.

Captain Cockroach has no idea what he's saying. Ever.

[Mc Mike]

41. She had the help prepare haggis, and told dopey Donnie Drumpf it was 'turkey'.

He's never been able to get turkey like his mom 'made' since then. Look and try as he might.
