The potential future president had also told the crowd, “You know they say you gotta vote with your stomach, I don’t know if you’ve heard it but it’s a little bit true,” before launching into some questionable food inflation numbers.
“Food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” he declared, following up his claim with some unsupported numbers. “We’ve never seen anything like it – 50, 60, 70 percent.”
The online response to Trump’s odd claims has been relentless, with one X/Twitter user writing, “Operation let him talk is going exceedingly well.”
Lights are on. No one’s home.
plane is airborne. ain’t nobody flying it
Wheel’s turning, but the hamster’s dead
Why’s it on his head
The engine is running but noone is behind the wheel.
That’s because the pilot was drunk and harassing the passengers in the back. Maybe I misunderstood that post…
And yet people are peeking through the window and wanting more from the magnificent one.
wind turbines are killing flying pigs
But then who is making the frogs gay?
Big Water
And Big Water surrounded Puerto Rico while he was president! It all makes sense!
China or the deep state. Flip a coin.
Hillary, in the basement of the pizza parlor with no basement, obvs.
Will buffalo wings be next?
Will buffalo wings be next?
First they came for the bacon
And I did not speak out
Because I was not eating bacon at the time
Then they came for the buffalo wings
And I did not speak out
Because I can take them or leave them
Then they came for the cheesesteak
And there was no one left
To speak out for the cheesesteak
I guess it wasn’t bacon I hate for breakfast yesterday.

Why do you hate bacon, are you a windmill?
Aaand Denmark the country with the highest degree of wind power in the world, is also the worlds biggest exporter of bacon.
They have to export it because they aren’t eating it.
Windmills, just blowing the bacon away… It’s littering the north sea and the German countryside…
This might be my favorite joke in Futurama.
All those windmills, just sitting there, upsetting their digestion when they eat bacon. So tragic.
It’s terrible. Everybody is saying it.
I live in Denmark, and this statement is false.
DUMPF REDEEMED
Ahh well see here, this checks out you see.
Trump said eat. We export the most bacon, but nobody talks about whether or not we eat much of the stuff.
As opposed to Denmark the periodontist?
Ohh so you mean they stopped eating bacon and sent it all out of Denmark?
Hmmm.
Vote with my stomach? Okay, it’s on the left side of my body. Guess I’m voting left.

I have never in my life heard anyone say you should vote with your stomach. Like I don’t even know where to start. What a crock of shit, it’s almost an art.
You’re supposed to eat 45 mins before you go out voting. Thats just politics
Yeah, good advice. I still remember accidentally writing in burger king.
Then shit in the booth.
Now who can argue with that? I think we’re all indebted to Gabby Trump for clearly stating what needed to be said. I’m particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.
REBBIT!
“Bacon, shark, windmill, Hannibal Lector, battery.”
Is this your new password?
Correct, horse. (Battery staple.)
iowa has pork???
In case anyone was curious what he actually said, I’ve transcribed the provided snippet of what can be generously called his “speech”:
"You know they say you’re gonna vote with your stomach - I don’t know if you’ve heard it but it’s a little bit true. And groceries food has gone up at levels that nobody’s ever seen before we’ve never seen anything like it fifty sixty seventy percent. you’d take a look at bacon and some of these products and some people don’t eat bacon anymore. And uh- we’re going to get the energy prices down when we get energy energy down you know this was caused by their horrible energy … wind, they want wind all over the place, but when it doesn’t blow we have a little problem. This was caused by energy this was really caused by energy and also their unbelievable spending their spending is out of… out of wealth, actually, they’re taking our wealth away, but it was caused by energy and what they’ve done is they’ve started cutting way back […] "
It seems pretty clear to me that he’s… talking. I think he was saying that high energy prices have caused the price of groceries to go up, and that high energy prices are the result of the biden admin “spending [us] out of wealth” (whatever that means). So, you know, not literally saying wind power caused people to stop eating bacon, but that uh… wait… no that is what he’s saying. Spending on wind power is directly causing the price of bacon to go up. I’m not… just. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
My eyes began to involuntarily glaze over as I read the transcript, and I barely made it through three sentences. I am not sure how a person could actively engage with this drool for hours.
I honestly wonder if donald didn’t stumble into NLP or related areas (the hypnosis thing, the NLP thing, and related systems tend to be popular with people looking to sell a load of bullshit to others - just look at NXIVM and that woman that helped to run it and her background) and pick up a kind of cadence that people fall for - it has a hypnotic type of flow even if it is batshit insane stuff and outright lying he does throughout.
I’m actually surprised someone has not dug into it to see if donnie has been into NLP/hypnosis.
He has dementia, it should have been obvious at covfefe
The funny part is that could have edited or deleted that and moved in. His ego required him to double down and make a reference about how some insiders understand the reference.
Anyone can fat finger shit into an app.
The disturbing part was the Redhats sagely nodding along like it meant anything.
Didn’t the Kroger CEO just testify that they raised prices above inflation rates because they could, based on supply and demand?
By pointing out high food costs over the last few years, isn’t he saying that unchecked, free-market capitalism is causing the drastic rise in food prices and (he isn’t saying this part) that regulation is what will bring them back down? After all, if you can charge more for a product because of supply/demand, capitalism dictates that is the correct pricing strategy.
Is this an anti-democrat rant or an anti-capitalism rant?
It’s hilarious because he’s trying to repeat the narrative that ultimately allowed Hitler to rise to power and yet he and his handlers are such absolute retards they can’t even do that right.
For me, the weirdest claim was at the RNC convention when they brought a bunch of grieving veterans families on stage and claimed the media was ignoring soldier’s deaths under Biden…
As if Trump wasn’t directly responsible for an incredible spike in service member deaths, a clear reversal from the Obama Era annual declines. SOURCE
Don’t forget Trump thinks dead soldiers are losers and doesn’t understand why people volunteer for the military. He also gave Putin and his allies a list of spies that resulted in many of their exposures and deaths.
Isn’t this the party that purposefully left in place a very weird plan to exit Afghanistan, and then blamed that on Biden, too?
It’s true. I was only ever eating bacon to keep the flying pig population in check, but now I don’t have to because the wind turbines will do the job.
truly a retiree that understands an economy like my cat understands written english.
Fkn Big Wind and their anti-pork agenda. Thank God for Trump, bringing the real issues to the forefront of discussion (big /s)
Trump is a moron.
