Trump rambles about Al Capone and Mike Lindell during North Carolina rally
At one point he indicated he was in Pennsylvania.

Donald Trumps speech in Kinston, North Carolina, this afternoon which began two hours late was toned down and seemingly less angry than his remarks earlier today in Pennsylvania.
He also told a fictional story about the long-deceased Al Capone and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell having dinner together, and Lindell offering Capone pillows.
If he didnt sleep well because he didnt like Mikes pillows, Mike had almost no chance of living, Trump said. He would dispose of Mike somewhere in a foundation of a building or something. You would never see Mike again. Mike does not want to have dinner with Scarface. (Capone died in 1947. Lindell was born in 1961.)
The crowd in Kinston seemed confused and unsure how to react to a number of Trumps remarks. He seemed to draw more applause when he returned to his scripted speech.

(19,312 posts)I haven't heard anyone use that since I was a kid. 🤭 As a middle-schooler in the early 60s, the word 'dink' was probably the strongest pejorative that could be hurled at anyone.
Thanks for reminding me of that, Faux pas.

(19,312 posts)I thought it probably died out by then, but it's good to know it lived on another decade or two. It's definitely a baby-boomer term, though.

Very funny in my opinion.

(465 posts)This isn't exactly a "mind" which is fully functional and all the "cognitive" gears are properly meshing. I'll be pretty interested in what the psychologists and psychiatrists have to say about the Turd's coming narcissistic collapse. That treasonous prick couldn't/wouldn't accept getting his ass kicked by Joe Biden. It's going to be a whole hell of a lot worse on his pysche getting his fat racist ass kicked worse by a black woman.

William Seger
(11,057 posts)One thing we can with some certainty is that he categorizes and ranks people by race, creed, gender, national origin, social status. He gave another great example recently, talking about how he's smart because he has good genes, and Harris is stupid because she doesn't.

Why can't more people see this!?! It is like a bloody flashing neon sign.

Trump, Inc. and Former FBI Deputy Chief Andrew McCabe Compare Notes
McCabe talks about going after Russian organized crime in Brighton Beach as a young agent and how some of those characters showed up in the Mueller report.
Heather Vogell, ProPublica, and Andrea Bernstein, WNYC May 29, 2019, 4 a.m. EDT
Before he became infamous for working on the investigation of Hillary Clintons emails and the Trump Russia investigation, former acting FBI chief Andrew McCabe investigated the Russian mob in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. McCabe has been asking some of the questions we at Trump, Inc. have asked ourselves about Trumps business. So today, we compare notes.
In this conversation with Andrea Bernstein and Heather Vogell, of Trump, Inc., McCabe talks about why it makes sense that some of the people he investigated in the 1990s have resurfaced in special counsel Robert Muellers investigation, what questions he still has after the Mueller report and why he and former FBI director Jim Comey have said Trumps management style reminds them of the mob.
Trump has long denied any wrongdoing, and he has said he was simply acting as an ordinary businessman in his Russia dealings.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Indeed, its now more of a rotten-vegetable word soup: You know, its like all that liquid in the bottom of a pre-mixed salad bag because the lettuce spoiled as a result of you forgetting about it for a few weeks!🤢🤮

(11,057 posts)He thinks all his random topics "all come back together" to make some point -- e.g. you're expected to recognize that he talks about Hannibal Lecter because other countries are "sending" us people they had in insane asylums. And apparently the Al Capone thing means that we should be outraged that The DonOld is getting treated worse than someone who would murder you. The only thing that ties all these "threads" is The DonOld's delusions.

(14,092 posts)Don't know (nor do I really care) if recent hallucinations are the result of new drugs, or just deterioration going on in the few remaining neurons in his brain.
He won't release medical reports, but rumor has it that he had a CAT scan of his brain, and neurologists reported that "We found absolutely nothing."
Carry on.

(7,395 posts)There is a scene in the new movie "Smile 2" where the main character (Skye Riley), is giving a public
speech and reading from a teleprompter. It stops, she fumbles around, and doesn't know what to say.
So she goes "off script" and rambles for a while, then blurts out something she shouldn't and screams out as the teleprompter begins working again.
Was it like that?

(6,319 posts)and you make up stories about Al Capone and Mike Lindell having a conversation over dinner, you know his brain is properly cooked.
Reality and Trump's awareness of it - never a strong link there, but his brain has permanently broken any connection now.
Doing rude things with a microphone just confirms it.
