Actually no one really knows what he said, he started saying that many people no longer eat bacon. Then out of nowhere for a second talked about wind turbines that they dint always produce power, then returned back to food and inflation.
With that if you would want to summarize the thought he was trying to say what would you arrive at? Of course other explanation is just gibberish, but that isn't much better.
No sharks? Electric cars are out of equations with Msuk check so he has to find other things
Electric sharks powered by tide energy.
Excellent, excellent. Now. Tell me about their lasers.
Insert some lunatic's ethnic space laser garbage conspiracy, but add sharks in there.
ITS A SHARKENESEISH SPACE LASER TIDE POD NADO!
Like tide pods?
YES, sharks have the best tide pods.
I always wondered where tide pods came from. I never knew they were harvested from sharks. Shark caviar I guess. No wonder people like to eat them.
This sounds like you want to start a fight. We are on the same side. Stop.
Not really.
I just added more context, because you said that's not exactly what he said, but he kind of did. If anyone else would said this in that order you would think that the person believes the wind power has something to do with bacon.
I agree that he is rambling and losing the topic of what he is talking about and actually that alternative is worse than if he truly believed wind farms prevent people from eating bacon. Also a title "trump rambles again" wouldn't interested anyone.
I think it’s important to focus on the wide range of things he actually says than the absolute ramblings of a mad man. A better headline might be “Trump rambles on about bacon and wind power at (whatever location)”
