"President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, don't worry about it," Trump told the crowd aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford.
Trump Starts Referring To Himself In Third Person During Incoherent Naval Carrier Speech

During his speech aboard USS Gerald R. Ford on Saturday, Donald Trump veered off course and started referring to himself in the third person.

The moment came when Trump was discussing his proposal to massively increase military spending as part of his disastrous budget blueprint. He told those in the crowd to give him “a little hand” and call their representatives in Congress.

Video:

Trump said:

Now we need Congress to do its job and pass the budget that provides for higher, stable and predictable funding levels for our military needs that our fighting men and women deserve. And you will get – believe me. President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, don’t worry about it. But I don’t mind getting a little hand, so call that congressman and call that senator and make sure you get it. And by the way, you can also call those senators to make sure you get health care.

..............................................
While Trump’s budget does include massive increases in military spending, which the Pentagon isn’t even asking for, it makes devastating cuts to other important areas, including Medicaid, education, and environmental programs.

1. The poor thang...

..... he is under so much self induced stress he is having an out of body experience.

Remedy......

Resign... Post haste.

[tavernier]

2. He already has a little hand.

Two of 'em.

[Rural_Progressive]

31. True but I think people should be looking at this statement in a greater context

Trump may very well be looking for "a little hand" in the context of his jobs program.

Whatcha' think?

[CanonRay]

3. He's stuck in a Seinfeld episode.

[bettyellen]

5. "Jimmy likes Elaine too" HAHA

[JBoy]

26. Heh.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. You need the video

[CanonRay]

39. Yes!

[ProudLib72]

4. It wasn't that incoherent

Those guys at politicssusa don't know a comma when they hear it.

Here is what they transcribed:

And you will get – believe me. President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, don’t worry about it.

Here is the way it should be transcribed:

And you will get – believe me, president Trump. I will tell you, you will get it, don’t worry about it.

Rambling, maybe. Incoherent, somewhat. But the third person thing, not really. I was much more interested in his asking people to call their senators and demand healthcare (as if it didn't already exist with ACA).

[Nevernose]

6. +1

That was the most disturbing part for me, as well. Yet another reminder that he not only doesn't know what he's doing, he doesn't even understand what he's talking about.

It's not so much that he's in water over his head; it's that he's drowning and wants someone to get a shovel and dig him out.

[elehhhhna]

9. Yep true

[malaise]

24. DUzy

[loyalsister]

7. Nothing new

It's actually a PR and political technique. Remember Bob Dole?

"Trump talking about himself in the third person reflects his perception of himself as being a larger-than-life character in the world stage," suggests Schneiderman. "Which, aside from the fact that he has an inflated ego, he happens to be."

Elizabeth Ossoff, an expert in political communication at St Anselm College, also sees Trump as a special case, partly because he is so prolific in his use of the third person.
But her advice to politicians is not to overuse the technique, as in her view people tend to find it "off-putting", and un-presidential.

"The use of the third person creates an unwelcome distance. We Americans want our presidents to be regular people but not too regular. We still put them up on a pedestal but want them to be humble about it since we put them in office. It's an odd contradiction at times," she says.

8. Trump doesn't even want to be associated with Donald J. Trump now nt

[malaise]

25. You blame him?

[Phoenix61]

10. My mom has started doing that

but she has advanced dementia. Makes me wonder even more about Twitler.

[frazzled]

11. I am so ashamed

For a moment, I hoped to myself (in the first person) that maybe he, too, might have a brain tumor. A big one. Really big.

I know it's wrong to hope that. I've just run out of rational things to hope for, like Congressional action. All I'm left with is the g.s. video or a brain tumor.

[malaise]

27. I hate to say this but

'join the line'.

[11 Bravo]

12. That boy just ain't right.

[3catwoman3]

20. No. He sure...

...ain't!

[nikibatts]

13. Note the Pentagon is not asking for more money. This is the laundering scheme that involves the MIC

Rob the social programs, increase the MIC spending, launder the money through MIC contracts, move the money out of the country: Make America Russia Again!

[Honeycombe8]

18. "Make America Russia Again"?

Hey, that would be like Make America Russia Again....as in MAR-A-LAGO.

[nikibatts]

38. Nice

[forgotmylogin]

14. I think he was just talking confusingly.

I think it was supposed to be an appositive phrase: "I, The Wizard of Oz, declare to you..." but his usual train crash clause structure ruins any sort of clarity. Also, the direct object form of that just sounds weird. "Believe me, President Trump, I will..."

"Believe me; I, The Great Trumponi, will make your tax money appear in the pockets of these wealthy oligarchs!"

[smirkymonkey]

15. I think he has a chicken wing lodged in his frontal lobe.

[TrogL]

16. I think he's quoting

And you will get "believe me. President Trump, I will tell you, you will get it, don’t worry about it."

[murielm99]

17. Why are we doing this?

Why are we parsing what he says?

Remember, pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

[MFM008]

19. The royal "we"

He is trying to jam himself in as royalty.
Hobnobbing with kings and real presidents...
Poor fool doesn't realize he's the village idiot.

[rpannier]

21. Maybe he wasn't trump

Maybe it was John Miller or Barron

[trof]

22. Oh lordy. Now he also has 'Bob Dole Syndrome'.

Bob Dole says 'no' to higher taxes.
Bob Dole doesn't like government handouts.

[dawnie51]

23. I saw some of this in a small screen....

during Joy's show this am. The rage in this guy was barely leashed. He kept grimacing and contorting his face, as if he could hardly keep the vitriol inside. I thought at any second he would just blow sky high. Never witnessed a major public figure doing this.....but the old film of Mussolini raging back in the 30's comes real close.

[tblue37]

28. He already has all the "little hands" he can deal with. nt

[Rural_Progressive]

32. but tblue, he's told us he's going to bring more jobs back to 'murica

Could be a connection there.

[Mrs. Overall]

29. You know what's scary? All of the tweets saying this was a "powerful," "epic," and "historic" speech

I just looked on Twitter and there are more tweets saying this was an excellent speech than those saying it was incoherent.

This is crazy. Are these bots?

How can people listen to his disconnected ramblings and say "historic" and "excellent?"

[lpbk2713]

33. The Russian hackers are still hammering away at their keyboards.

They will never give up. They have nothing to lose.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Everything he's done is illegitimate

it should all be reversed in a sane, just America

Yeah, I know, good luck with that

But put them all in jail first

[heather blossom]

34. Question

He is telling military personnel to call their representatives in Congress to push more military spending. I thought active military were not allowed to participate in political activies. Any one know if that is true?

[JHan]

35. Tin pot dictator type of speech

[a kennedy]

36. I love the crowd in the back.....not even paying attention.

he's gone....mind is lost, can't handle the job.
