What is he talking about again ?
He's talking about how energy is required for pretty much everything, like if you were going to make donuts (on a stove for some reason) it would take energy, it took energy for them to get to your home, etc. I always hated things like this, like this is one of the most coherent things he's said, it's like the boy who cried wolf, when it's actually noteworthy we're already tired of hearing it.
"Energy is required for all work" is not really a noteworthy statement.
If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did, it might be noteworthy, except for the fact that it would be inevitably followed by an incessant stream of gibberish.
So you have a problem with the sentence itself and not that it was spoken by Trump?
Actually, I have a problem with both.
It's a completely unnecessary statement for anyone with an elementary school level understanding of the world. However, if a candidate for president of the United States is going to make such an inane statement, he should at least speak coherently.
Work requires energy. That's easy to say, and easy to understand.
Trump talks like a six year old trying to explain to his parents what he learned in school today.
Who the fuck makes donuts on a stove in a business context or any context really.
Why would a bakery use a stove instead of a commercial fryer? why would a single person make a donut from scratch with frosting for a single fucking donut at home instead of going to a shop to just buy one for a dollar?
It's a terrible sentence, it makes no sense whatsoever in any context.
It's just standard trump word vomit.
That's the complete opposite of what NABDad said. "If he managed to say it as coherently as I just did," implies a belief that the sentence is at the very least marginally incoherent. Which further implies that they do actually have a problem with the sentence itself.
Is your suggestion to the contrary a mistake made because you were overinvested in the point you're trying to argue, or was it purposeful misinterpretation?
