In a spirited rally held in Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump delivered a freewheeling speech where he staunchly defended his often-criticized speaking style, labeling it as a hallmark of his genius. Amidst cheers from his supporters, Trump lambasted the media for portraying his meandering addresses as mere rambling.
“Now the fake news will say, ‘Trump is rambling.’ No, it’s genius what I’m doing up here, but nobody understands,” Trump proclaimed confidently, addressing a crowd of supporters.
The ex-president, known for his bombastic and sometimes controversial rhetoric, continued to stir the crowd with promises of fighting against perceived adversaries.
“We will fight this scum that we have to beat. We will fight them, and we will win,” he declared passionately, eliciting loud cheers and applause from the rally attendees.
Trump has long touted his intellectual prowess, famously referring to himself as a “stable genius” and boasting about his performance on a cognitive test he described as “tough.” However, critics have frequently pointed out instances where Trump appeared to struggle with coherence during speeches, occasionally stumbling over names and topics.
Despite facing such criticisms, Trump’s divisive style has consistently struck a chord with his supporters, who applaud his knack for speaking plainly and forthrightly about issues close to them, even when his words occasionally confound comprehension.
