Trump Goes on Nonsensical Rant About Elton John, Organs and 'the Brain'

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump held a rally in Montana on Thursday night and rambled for more than an hour about everything from ICE to tax reform to… Sir Elton John

At one point Trump went on one of his trusted riffs: complaining about no one congratulating him for how big the crowds at his rallies are.

“They never say I’m a great speaker,” Trump bellowed, pointing at the media attending the rally. “Why the hell do so many people come? It’s got to be something. I guess they like my policy?”

-snip-

“I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.”

Unfiltered by people who hold him back at the White House. This is his "Me Time" and they just let him go to it. There will be no accountability for anything said at a rally.

"Sundowning is a symptom of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. It's also known as “late-day confusion.” If someone you care for has dementia, their confusion and agitation may get worse in the late afternoon and evening. In comparison, their symptoms may be less pronounced earlier in the day."

I kept wondering why in the world he would be breaking Elton John records. I broke an Eddie Money record once in college. Dropped it right out of my hands and the edge of the record hit the edge of a table. Looked like someone took a bite out of it. No more Two Tickets to Paradise. I had a picture of Donnie flinging copies of Honky Chateau around the room. Why? Then I realized he meant concert attendance. What on Earth made him pick Elton John out of the crowd? It appears Rod Stewart has the all-time attendance record.

rather than the proper modifier Democratic because it sounds a little sleazy and ends with "rat." Are the Repubs still, at least, capitalizing it? They've (Repubs) been doing this for some years now, years before Trump entered politics. I guess he just recently "got it," and decided to steal it as his own: one more brilliant idea from his nimble brain!

Like if he comes back around to a state/city where he's been before, how many of those that went to one of those looney toon shows goes back to stand there and listen to some demented narcissist rant and blather on? I'm sure there are some die hard groupies that will go every chance they get. But I bet a lot of them, even though they probably love him, won't spen 2hrs listening to such bloviating bullshit.

66. The Back Story: Elton John refused to perform at Trump's Inauguration after Trump said he would.

Trump has a habit of holding a grudge. (Another example: the reason why Trump has "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at his rallies is that 1) It's his way of getting back at the band, esp. Keith Richards https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/keith-richards-donald-trump-promoter-rolling-stones-steel-wheels-tour-a8352191.html and 2) he won't pay royalties for using that song.)

"won't pay royalties"

When someone uses your intellectual property without payment or authorization, it should be automatically reciprocal that you can use their image/intellectual property for your own purposes.

Not really. Outside of the bleach-job I'll have to give my brain, my copy of Justice League finally arrived, and you'll have to do MUCH better than that to ruin it for me!

an instrument or sport? Because Clinton could play the sax? Because Obama could play basketball and sing? There's something wrong with him.

Are we there yet?

Do his crowds even care what he says and does? Or is he just a prominent symbol of their white supremacist tribe that can say and do absolutely anything he wants including shooting somebody on 5th Avenue? Is it all about the symbol regardless of the content?

This Montana rally speech was really over the top. Even for him. Complete psycho-babble. Waiting for his Jimmy-Swaggart-falling-on-his-knees-weeping moment soon.

118. my feeling on the interpretation
Fri Jul 6, 2018, 10:37 AM

“I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records.
Talking attendance records, but also targeting an LGBT artist.

"And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping."
Claiming he is doing this both the hard way and solo

"No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record."
Reiterating the superiority of his in-group

"Because you know, look I only need this space."
The space behind the podium

"They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records."
We own all the sports attendance records too, since those crowds had MAGA's in them

"Really we do it without like, the musical instruments."
Bragging on doing it the hard way again

"This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth."
My way is superior

"Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.”
The leader is more important than the followers

I can believe it, although I haven't been able to find an estimate for total number of lies told by the previous 44 presidents, I cannot think that he is not nearing that number. Sometimes the odd superlative is actually appropriate.

We should not dismiss this phenomenon, however. It will be to our peril if we do. Give no quarter to this lunatic or to his followers. Get out the vote like never before for this upcoming November. Even winning one house, or both houses, of congress only buys us some time to regroup. There is no short fix, no easy long term solution. This is another big test for humanity. This could be a very long slog.
