# Trump just delivered a word salad speech that would’ve got Biden impeached
# In a few short remarks, the president revealed he has very little knowledge of the U.S. economy; is incapable of remembering where his own representatives or aides are and cannot stay awake during an early afternoon public appearance, [**Holly Baxter**](https://www.independent.co.uk/author/holly-baxter) writes.
…
To start, the president claimed, without blinking, that he had *already secured $16 trillion* in investments [into the U.S. economy](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/inflation-june-trump-tariffs-b2789354.html). For reference, the entire GDP of the United States is under $30 trillion. Now, we all know that Donald is prone to exaggeration. We’ve all heard that his latest idea/bill/haircut is the greatest thing ever, and that some people are saying it’s the most incredible idea/bill/haircut the world has ever seen.
But this was clearly not delivered for melodramatic effect. This was the president of the United States claiming that he had single-handedly funded half of capitalism, in six months.
Moments later, Trump attempted to introduce Republican Rep. Dan Meuser.
“Where’s Dan?” he asked, scanning the crowd. Dave McCormick, seated beside him, had to quietly inform him that all the representatives had stayed in Washington.
“Oh, they’re in Washington working on our next bill? Good!” Trump replied. “Now I don’t have to mention their names, although they’re watching on television, I guarantee.”
He laughed nervously as he said it, in quite an uncharacteristic way, and then trailed off while muttering, again, that it was “good” that “they” are working on something in D.C. It was oddly difficult to watch.
The 79-year-old president then struggled to pronounce the name of one of his own White House aides, before saying, “They tell me you’re doing great.” And, as the spicy dressing on the word salad, he added a [bizarre aside about Unabomber Ted Kaczynski](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-ted-kaczynski-pittsburgh-b2789670.html) being a great student (“It didn’t work out too well for him” in the end, however, according to Trump, a conclusion that clearly demands intellectual rigor beyond the everyday man or woman.)
If Biden had said *any* of this, Fox News would have launched a live countdown to impeachment. But it’s unlikely we’ll see these gaffes dominate the news cycle — even though President Donald J. Trump, supposedly the sparkiest 79-year-old who ever damn lived, began to visibly struggle to stay awake while seated behind the microphone.

To be fair, Ted Kaczynski *was* a brilliant student. It’s just that he was tremendously disturbed and went off the deep end.

Listen, Trump could rape a child 9n the white house lawn surrounded by reporters and news cameras and the Republicans wouldn’t call for impeachment. They would say Biden did it.

Fucking everything that this ghoul has done would’ve gotten anyone else impeached. It’s mind boggling that he continues to get pass after pass on this shit.

Maybe he’s just tired from the long soccer tournament this weekend where he apparently led Chelsea to glory.

speaking of his lack of knowledge on economics… I was just thinking today after I heard him mention that indonesia has a 0% tariff on US imports, but we have a 19% on what we import from indonesia … he said, AND I QUOTE: „They are going to pay 19% and we are going to pay nothing“.
HE IS AN IDIOT. Indonesia is not going to pay CRAP for you charging US customers on what is imported from indonesia. He’s so reversed in his thinking, or lack thereof.
