Comedy World Righteously Roasts Trump Over Gettysburg Gaffe
newrepublic.com
People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.
Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.
When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter.
“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.

Being an actual moron isn't a "gaffe" lol.
Yea, the guy is ignorant and is used to BSing his way through it. His wealth has long sheltered him from being called out on it.
"look having nuclear...." Moron
When you are famous they let you do it.
Donald "Tiny hands" Trump
Being a moron is not enough. You also have to suffer from rapidly advancing dementia to be regarded as the literal second coming of Christ by "conservatives".
Honestly, that makes perfect sense. Their other darling president was a talentless hack, brainless politician with dementia, so it 100% tracks that they can't get on their knees fast enough.
Yeah, I'm not sure the right elected St. Ronnie or Trump because of their political acumen.
To be fair, and I say this as no fan of Ronnie Raygun, he seemed relatively normal until the later years. A jerkass right-wing nut in practice, who screwed up a LOT of things and set the stage for later disasters, but otherwise human. Possibly even personally likable. I didn’t cheer when he got shot, like.
Trump is seven layers of freak criminal mental disease. If Jodie Foster’s Army was active and working today, I’d be dancing on the rooftops.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that's exactly why they elected both. Idiots are notoriously easy to manipulate and control.
Gawd I'd love to go back in time and kick Ronny down the stairs as a toddler.
Yeah, it's only a gaffe if your base isn't stupid enough to already believe the brainless bullshit that falls out of your talk hole.
