I though this was satire -- turns out it's the actual transcript!
George Conway:
“Hillary wanted to put up wind. Wind. If you?if you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations: Your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, OK? ‘Rrrrr, rrrrr’?you know the thing that makes the? ....
... it’s so noisy. And of course it’s like a graveyard for birds. If you love birds, you’d never want to walk under a windmill because it’s a very sad, sad sight. It’s like a cemetery. We put a little, we put a little statute for the poor birds. It’s true. You know in ....
... California, if you shoot a bald eagle, they put you in jail for five years. And yet the windmills wipe ’em all out. It’s true. They wipe ’em out. It’s terrible. And I told the other day at CPAC. Great people at CPAC. We had an incredible thing. I had nothing to do. ...
... It was early on a Saturday morning. I had just gotten back from dealing with Kim Jong Un. We had a walk. He wasn’t ready for a deal but that’s OK because we get along great. He wasn’t ready. I told him, you’re not ready for a deal. That’s the first time anybody has ever ....
... told him that and left. It never happened to him before. Nobody’s ever left. But I said you’re not ready for a deal, but we’ll make a deal. We have a good relationship. We have a good relationship. But I told a story about, at CPAC. The woman, she wants to ....
... watch television. And she says to her husband, “Is the wind blowing? I’d love to watch a show tonight, darling. The wind hasn’t blown for three days. I can’t watch television, darling. Darling, please tell the wind to blow.” No, wind’s not so good. And you know, ....
... you have no idea how expensive it is to make those things. They’re all made in China and Germany, but the way, just in case you’re?we don’t make ’em here, essentially. We don’t make ’em here. And by the way, the carbon, and all those things flying up in the air, ....
... you know the carbon footprint? President Obama used to talk about the carbon footprint, and then he’d hop on Air Force One, a big 747 with very old engines, and he’d fly to Hawaii to play a round of golf. You tell me, the carbon footprint.” [twitter.com]
The thing to remember about the gibberish which comes out of Trump’s mouth is that it doesn’t have to make sense in order to reach his core base of followers. In fact, the less it makes sense the better. All he has to do is make sure he throws in a few trigger phrases when he speaks. Beyond that, he could be reciting the phone book and it would actually be more effective in achieving the desired outcome.
Most of Trump’s core base is only capable of taking in roughly 2% of what they read or hear. Anything more confuses them. So the principle of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) applies.
