Comedy World Righteously Roasts Trump Over Gettysburg Gaffe
The New Republic ^ | 4-16-24 | Hafiz Rashid

Posted on 04/17/2024 12:14:35 PM PDT by AirForceVet1988

Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.

When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter. . . .

I was going to protest. I most certainly do not favor Biden. Trump will be in the WH wherever he deems that to be in about a year after all the nonsense the Dems put forth
But then I saw who wrote the comment.

Waste of time and effort but I’ll keep it in for the record

I fail to see the horror of what he said. It makes Trump look like a genius compared to Biden. If General Lee did not say that, he could have after Pickett’s charge.

While some of us were learning historical specifics, Trump was making billions.

Your way too new here for me to care. Grow up. And put the Joe Biden pedestal down once and for all. It’s gross.

The hosts understand neither humorous understatement, nor the subject matter being spoken of.

As stated, I don’t care if he did or not.

Seriously.

Read what I wrote.

Your original reply to me was weird indeed. But you will feel like you are innocent and pure as white driven snow as usual.

“Jimmy Kimmel was involved in a car accident Thursday as he was trying to cross traffic on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old crashed his BMW outside the Chateau Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood, with him being caught on camera seemingly making a left turn on a right-turn-only street.”

Maybe his is why Kimmell thought it was fuuny— “Never turn left into a right turn only street me boys, never turn left into the grill of of a car coming from your left on a one way lane.”

A person half Trump’s age would not be able to keep up with his work ethic, and he is having to juggle the fraudulent lawfare demands and his campaign. It’s a wonder he has any time to sleep at all.

So, if he’s tired and nods off in court or has a little trouble articulating something in a moment out of many hours of public speaking, I’d cut him some slack.

Trump’s worst speech error is better than Biden, Harris, or Jackson Lee on their best days while reading expertly-written speeches from teleprompters.
