Former President Donald Trump recently gave an explosive speech at CPAC where he denied rambling and brought up critics who say he is cognitively impaired – saying he was in fact a ‘genius’ via Daily Mail.
”They’ll say he rambled – he’s cognitively impaired,” Trump said about an hour into his speech, denying those who have criticized his mental state. ‘No, it’s really the opposite. It’s total genius, you know that,’ Trump said, having called himself a ‘stable genius’ while in office.
Trump made the comments during rambling remarks where he gave impressions of Biden, casting the president as constantly asking people where he was and struggling to manage stage instructions.
He repeatedly championed his own style of veering off script, defending his ‘very informative’ stories, during remarks where he gave impressions of Joe Biden and railed about favorite subjects ranging from low flow water-saving devices to his gripes about electric cars.
It has been noted that it came after a week when President Biden’s own age and memory were once again an issue, including the president’s use of note cards even in closed events. In one of many odd tangents in his speech, Trump showered praise on Russian President Putin days after the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, then agreed with Putin’s recent comment that Russia would like to see a second term for Biden.
‘I talked to Putin a lot. I got along with him well, although he did announced the other day that he’d much rather see Biden as President. And I agree with him. I agree because you know, I ended Nord Stream right?’ Trump said, referencing former U.S. sanctions on pipeline construction.
‘Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,’ Putin said this week. ‘But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.’
Referencing the media, Trump said, ‘These fakers up there. ‘He rambled on endlessly. Telling these horrible and very boring stories.’ No, they’re very informative stories they’re very important stories, actually,’ Trump said.
‘No they said there is no cognitive problem if there was a know about it. In fact, if there was, you’ll be the first to know because I will tell you,’ he told the crowd.
