To be honest, at least Orbán IS a leader. So he got it somewhat right. Which is good for a four year old.

And it is in a similar geopolitical region. Still not good enough for a voter, much less a politician, but still I think that’s solidly in the realm of standard American stereotype.

Like being generous I can see how one might mix up Erdogan and Orbán, their last names are pronounced similar in our language and they’re both far right ultra socially conservative leaders who probably won’t leave office without force. That said, nobody would ever give that benefit of the doubt to Jill Stein much less Joe Biden. Hell, if my representative didn’t catch themselves on that mixup I’d be concerned.

Many people are saying Viktor Autobahn, who invented highways, is a Turkish Delight. Bigly people. You wouldn’t believe it. They come to me and they say “Mr. President Sir, have you seen what he’s doing with the cars and the trucks? He’s got them driving on roads and it’s wonderful.” And I say of course! The cars need roads tremendous roads and that’s why when I win in 2024 I’m going to build so many highways and roads and streets. The democrats said “let’s not have streets, we need to drive horses” can you believe that, folks? They were going to take away the roads and the driveways and we weren’t gonna have any more hotdog carts because there’d be no streets! You want a hot dog you can forget about it. The democrats weren’t going to let you have any hotdogs.

The key with Trump is at the beginning, middle and end of the speech should have absolutely no bearing on each other.

We’ve reached a sad point in time, when one thinks “Surely, that’s not something he really said.” but, in the back of your mind you’re still not 100% sure that he didn’t actually say it.

like this gem:

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”
