what trump actually said in qatar (from occupy democrats on fb)






BREAKING: Donald Trump unleashes a deeply bizarre rant during his trip to Qatar and rambles about lumberjacks, digging ditches, his MAGA Transportation Secretary climbing "up and down" trees, and Pete Buttigieg riding a bicycle.
The cognitive decline has never been more apparent. This man belongs in a psychiatric facility not the White House...

"When you look at what's happening with Russia and Ukraine the drone is killing tremendous numbers of people," Trump said during a press conference in Doha, Qatar. "You hide behind a tree and the drone comes down and it circles you with fire. You don't have a chance and the tree comes down also by the way."

"It's so intense the— I mean you see these trees being knocked down like..." he continued. "Like they're being sawed down by a top of the line, uhh, timberman like... Like... You know who? Sean... Duffy."

"Do you know that Sean Duffy, the head of the Transportation Department, who's working right now on the airports and getting a system because Biden didn't do a thing for four years and Pete Buttigieg was the head and he goes bicycling to work," said Trump.
"He takes a bicycle to work, can you believe it? He's head— He's running the biggest air system in the world and he takes a bicycle to work. What a— And they say he's going to run for president, I don't see it." Trump went on. "Who knows right? But I don't see it."

"But, uh, when I look at what they've done uh, it's so horrible what they've done and the work they did do they wasted billions of dollars," Trump went on. "They tried to hook up air systems to... To copper. They tried to hook up copper to glass and the glass doesn't work with the copper and..."

"Uh they had 30,000 different contractors doing 30,000 jobs and when they put it all together they spent billions of dollars. It didn't even come close to working and we're going to be giving out a brand new system," said Trump.

"It's very important. We'll have the best system. And we think we know who that system is but we have a lot of bidding," he went on.

"But we want one check," he continued. "We want a unified system. We don't have, uh, 5,000 contractors and all different places, some digging ditches and some not doing ditches because they want to go by satellite. Satellite seems to be the way to go. We're going to be giving that out pretty soon."

"But what people don't know about Sean cause I mentioned lumberjacks that Sean — you probably didn't know this that uh — I'm not talking about this Sean, this Sean no, not, this is not... This is a different Sean," Trump said.

"Sean Duffy, the head of Transportation. He's a great Sean though, I have to tell you but Sean Duffy was the world champion for five years climbing trees and down, up and down, world champion!" Trump said, struggling to string together his thoughts. "So that's what you call a serious a lumberjack."

"And he's doing a fantastic job too, a really respected guy and terrific guy and I mentioned the champion because when somebody's the champion — he's the world champion for a long time — he came down, when you come down those trees, coming down at a rapid... He said that started getting your back. You will often break your back! You... You miss... You miss a shot and you're coming down a lot faster than the human body was meant to come down. But he's doing a fantastic job at Transportation. But this has been a very, uh, historic trip."

Imagine for a second if President Biden had delivered a speech as confused, nonsensical, and downright strange as this during a trip to a foreign country. Every news outlet would be questioning his mental health. Donald Trump is clearly in a state of profound psychological deterioration and Congress should take immediate action to remove him from office.

4. Just another example of Trump lunacy that the media won't cover

They're too busy focusing on Biden's age or Obama's tan suit

5. What utter gibberish

How frightening to think Trump is an actual president of an actual country. You can tell by this disjointed bs that Trump has picked up words here and there that someone told him and he’s tried to put together stories using those words. Nothing makes sense because he lacks understanding of most everything.

How many more times are we going to hear the groceries story, you know….that old fashioned word that means food.

6. He's always been untethered from truth, making up stories

But the narratives used to be more focused on the issue at hand, serving a political purpose. Now it's more the disjointed ramble of a pathological liar losing his cheese, which is clearly slipping off his cracker.

Seriously, it's 25th Amendment time. If the J6 and Documents indictments are resumed in 2029, if he's still alive his best defense is mental incapacity for standing trial.

He belongs in supervised care. Not running loose where he can break things.

His coming down with Bell's Palsy would devastate his vain ego. However, because the flesh around his right eye is not sagging, I do not think it is Bell's Palsy.

He never struck me as one to exhibit an uneven smile. Therefore, I do not know what to make of the appearance of his mouth.

18. But he never smiles. Sneers, yes. Jeers, yes. Contemptuous mocking, yes.

They form the basis of his own echolalia, symptoms of advancing dementia.

I saw at least one of them, maybe more. The only reason I am mentioning this is that I was able to look at the faces. I’m pretty sure some were laughing.
