Trump: "Energy is so big. It's so like amorphous. It's all over the place. If you make donuts, it's a stove"

Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"
- Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.
  Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.
  
  ~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” or and he doesn’t understand energy.
  
  He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...
  For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?
- Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.
- He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

I love how uncomfortable the fan is. Never meet your heroes, eh fucknut?
- "Fan," isn't that the guy that got arrested in the Carolinas for being and armed militia and targeting FEMA workers? Or did that guys mug shot just happen to look just like this guy
  
  I am not familiar with this specimen
- Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.
  
  Never happen. Best case scenario is "maybe I'm not into politics anymore"
- He just wanted to steal glances at hot lady. They don't usually let him get that close
  
  The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.
  Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.
  You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"
- I laughed out loud at his reaction
  “Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

What is he talking about again ?
- He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.
  
  it's not a truck?
  
  Where are the science memes people when you need them
  
  Picture of a stove?
- I don't know if he even knows for sure
- He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.
  
  Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here
- Arnold Palmer
- He's talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he's said, it's like the boy who cried wolf, when it's actually noteworthy we're already tired of hearing it.
  
  Take a second to remind yourself that if "this is one of the most coherent thing's he's said," how far the bar has been lowered for him and this behavior.
  "It's not fair to pick on him for this, he completed a full sentence!" Oh, well whoopity-fucking-doo for him.
  
  You’re doing what the media and his followers do, though. You’re interpreting for him.
  There may be a coherent idea behind what he says but his ability to express it is severely deficient which is further evidence that he is unfit for the presidency.
  
  "Energy is required for all work" is not really a noteworthy statement.
  If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did, it might be noteworthy, except for the fact that it would be inevitably followed by an incessant stream of gibberish.
  
  Agree. People in this thread pretending they don't understand what he's saying...that's just bad faith criticism that they're angry enough to excuse in themselves right now. Resist that shit.
  Given just the added context of his tone of speech in the audio, his meaning became immediately clear. If we had two or three sentences of additional context on either side of this quote, my guess is the text would have been just as easily understandable as the video was.

His staffers should be charged with elder abuse for making these rallies continue
- Let em cook

Weird
- Weird weirdo is weird.

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery
- He’s manifesting donuts.

hahhaha guys face "what the fuck is he going on about"
- "I've made a huge mistake"

I'm impressed, to be honest, "amorphous" is probably the biggest word I've ever heard him use.

It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

Mr. Finite Battery Heart aficionado at his best. Ugh.

Orange man with swiss cheese brain.

With Obama care he'd have his 24/7 day care for free already.
- Yeah, but so would other people he doesn't like. Better we all suffer, but at least someone else suffers more.

78 yrs old and the same IQ

Is he on mushrooms?
- This is the classic dementia "word salad". I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it's going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.
  
  To be fair, that pretty much describes the information communicated to any Trump supporter listening to anyone say anything. They listen for vibes, not meaning.

You just need to read it in Bill Nye's voice.

He's true if you're talking about dark energy
- Ah I see we forgot to look at donuts in our search for dark energy
  
  With this guy, more like dank energy.
- Don't try and explain dark energy to this dimwit. He'll try and blame the economy on it or something.
