I think reading that is giving me dementia…

I’m honestly baffled as to why a movie character would even come up in a political speech, much less this incoherently.

And yes, it’s a quote, it’s a funny line… why is he using it? It’s utterly silly. I’m also confused by the ‘late, great’ as if this was an actual person who had died, as opposed to a fictional character who hasn’t died in any book, movie or show I’m familiar with. And Anthony Hopkins is very much alive as well, as is writer Thomas Harris.

It doesn’t make any… goddamn… sense.

Please don’t elect this guy again.

Wait is he advocating for the eating of immigrants?

Are these dependent or independent thoughts?

Also he does know Hannibal Lecter is fictional right?

And literally no person on the planet can give definitive answers.

This is like early versions of LLMs hallucinating.

EDIT: I feel I need to apologize to LLMs for this comparison.

Here’s the video. In context, it doesn’t make a whole lot more sense than what’s in the article. Here’s a story that goes into the other more coherent things he said which are actually a good bit worse.

Does he… Does he just not know what referring to someone as “the late, great whatever” means? Does he just like the sound of the rhyme?

How do people in his audience come away from rallies like this one and go, “Yep, that’s the guy who should be president”? Are they as brain-damaged as him?

This is the nuclear speech all over again.

You know, usually if I try hard I can kinda figure out how his rambling stream of consciousness verbal diarrhea got from one point to another. This is just…nonsense.

He must’ve just watched Silence of the Lambs on cable the night before. He always works the last thing he saw on TV into his speeches.

The fuck?

Gives me Chris Farley as an interviewer vibes.

Does it matter when the immigrant is white? My money is on those immigrants being the “good ones”

Because they’re not going to start a war. It’s just chest beating from them. Shit has gotta get a lot lot worse for even the thought of a civil war to be seriously thought about. We’re not even close to it, people are still fed, clothed, housed and they still have jobs and their TV’s and entertainment…no one is starting a war.

The full quote is given in another comment. And no, it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, even by Donnie’s lofty standards.

This comment has the whole quote. It’s usually a mistake to try and make sense out of what he says, but it kind of looks like he’s trying to invoke the image of the cannibalistic serial killer and then saying that’s the kind of criminal we’re releasing.

I can’t seem to find audio or video on that link (mobile). So it’s even worse to hear someone talk about it but not give any sources.

Read on a bit, the crowd thinned considerably as Trump was talking. He appears to be losing ground with people for his verbal diarrhea. We only need to hope its enough people either not voting or voting for biden.

Mikkelsen’s full quote, for those who want to continue to enjoy his acting

“He’s obviously not the classic politician, that’s for sure. I can definitely laugh at some of the stuff he says but I can also go, ‘Oh my God, did he say that?’ I think he’s a fresh wind for some people, but that’s what you’re voting for, I guess, right? It’s a big job,” he said.

Edit: mikkelson is a fucktard.

Without any concept of where the dude stands and knowing nothing more about him than the majority of hollywood leans more left than it does right, I took that “fresh wind” thing as comparing Trump to a fart without outright saying it.

Am I wrong?

Maybe as an appetizer. I’m thinking there’s not enough brain matter in Trump’s skull to make a meal.
