Trump immediately bores his fans in Latrobe to death with an endlessly rambling story about Arnold Palmer
Trump has been speaking for more than 5 minutes in Pennsylvania and the whole thing has been a rambling, boring story about Arnold Palmer that nobody cares about. Is Trump okay? This is weird even by his standards.
lmao Fox News cuts away from Trump as he goes on and on and on about Arnold Palmer. Even the Fox anchor seems weirded out
holy shit Trump is still talking about Arnold Palmer. Dafuq
OMFG -- "When he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said 'oh my god. That's unbelievable" --Trump says that when other golfers showered with Arnold Palmer they would marvel at how big his dick is
Trump said he talked to Nentanyahu today and Bibi told him he's not listening to Biden
a good luck at the crowd size for Trump's rally in Latrobe
Trump on the Secret Service: "They are serious guns. We got more guys, and every one of them is like central casting too. Holy shart. I'm looking. They look like Arnold Palmer! They look like Arnold! You can't look better than Arnold."
Trump: "Butler, Pennsylvania, we had 101,00 people. It was unbelievable." (The Secret Service says the attendance was 21,000)
If you like 20 minute stories about Arnold Palmer and his huge hog, then this is the Trump rally for you
Trump on Elizabeth Warren: "She did a test and she was so happy because it came back 1,000/fourteent. Remember? 1,000/14th. And that was it."
Trump: You have to tell Kamala Harris that we can't stand you. You're a shit vice president. Get the hell out of here Kamala.

Trump: "Do you know what an unrealized capital gain is? I'll tell you what it is: communism."
adding this to my thread 👇
Trump on tariffs: "In the 1890s and the 1880s, our country was actually the richest it ever was." (This is a lie.)
He then digresses into McKinley's assassination. His brain just flits around.
Trump is out here just transparently making stuff up. His gullible fans eat it up.
Trump: "The United States is now an occupied country. But November 5 will be liberation day in America."
Trump glitches while saying "illegal"
Trump contrasts the current leadership of the US with 1798, "when we had real people running our country."
"I'm going to get that thing overturned so fast" -- Trump is now threatening to use his power to overturn California state laws
I suspect the approval ratings for Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell in Pittsburgh these days are pretty low
Trump tends to lose his audience a bit toward the end of his rallies when he goes back to reading the teleprompter, but he always gets them back with his regular crudely transphobic talking points
Trump says "we will not be occupied" and "we will not be conquered" as though those are things that are happening right now, but then in the next breath says if he wins "every day will be filled with opportunity and hope"
Trump caps things off with some bigly double jerking
