“Look at my friend OJ Simpson over there”
You just know Trump’s fans were impressed by his ability to say a four-syllable word, even if the four-syllable word he actually meant was “multi-tasker.”
I’m surprised he didn’t make it a five-syllable word.
I guess that’s to his credit, even if his pronunciation was markedly weird. (It sounded like “am-bee-dext-rus” which is surely non-standard.)
“Do whatever you can for the Republican party because what they do is they raise so much money through different groups that are not groups that are on our side”
“Kids are occupying your schools”
“The late great Hannibal Lecter! It was a wonderful man.”
“President Xi has been talking about Beijing”
“I will stop Biden’s sinister plan to abolish the suburbs”
“Former president Jimmy Connors”
I think he meant to say ambiparous, since that would make even less sense.
Well, that would be like him. But check out the second half of this online definition:
Sounds pretty accurate to me!
You make a good point! 
Ok wtf was that about? All the other stuff, yup sounds like dementia symptoms (mixing up names, mispronouncing words, gibberish, and slurring) but praising fictional serial killers? That just seems weird
If heard some people suggest its a way of getting around the gag order. But then who’s it aimed at? it seems too subtle and convulted for you average MAGAt by a factor of about 200x. I guess it may be q-anon thing?
I suppose the Occam’s rasor answer is he’s saying something ridiculous and outrageous as that’s what he does. He says ridiculous things knowing it will get him publicity (and knock that last ridiculous offensive thing he said off the front page)
It’s not the first time he’s talked about Hannibal Lecter as if he were a real person - you may recall that last year he bragged about Lecter endorsing him on TV.
My best guess is that he thinks Hannibal Lecter is the name of an actor who endorsed him, but none of the actors who’ve played him are MAGA as far as I can tell, and also they’re all still alive.
Mads Mikkelson apparently said something vaguely pro-Trump (though AFAIK it was more sympathetic to trump voters than actually pro Trump, but can’t find cite). But its a big stretch from that to giving shout outs to Hannibal Lecter (hell it’s not like anyone goes “Mads Mikkelson, oh yeah Hannibal Lecter”, the only actor who is synonymous with the role is Anthony Hopkins)
Basically, he was claiming illegal immigrants are like Hannibal. That is, other countries are releasing insane asylum inmates and sending them to the US. Also prison inmates.
I don’t know of any country that’s doing this, although at one time Cuba did do it. That was about 40 or 50 years ago.
He was trying to compare migrants “released” into the US to Hannibal Lecter at the end of Silence of the Lambs. He’s upgraded them from rapists to cannibals. The “late great” stuff was another crappy attempt at sarcasm.
That still doesn’t explain the time that he claimed Hannibal Lecter went on TV and said “I love Donald Trump”.
OK, that is fucking weird. He obviously thinks Hannibal Lecter is a real person. WTF? Does he think movie characters are all real people?
Well, Trump was on TV and he thinks he’s areal person.
None of those actors said they love Trump, but one said some people do.
I’m not sure but I am pretty confident that Trump is bigly upset about the possibility of a legal expense being illegal. It can’t be illegal and legal at the same time! If only Trump had written all of this down on a legal pad. He’d be totally in the clear because it’s legal.
For that matter, did Lecter ever actually say “I’m having a friend for dinner”? It’s been 20+ years since I’ve seen any of those movies, but that sounds like a made up line to me, on par with when Loser Donald claimed that Robert E. Lee spoke with an Irish accent and was known for saying “Never fight me uphill boys”.
