"They sacrifice every day for the furniture of their children."

[Atman]

OMG. Let the memes begin!

[fleur-de-lisa]

1. Damn expensive cribs and high chairs!

[L. Coyote]

29. Here's the video. Sounds like he took a hoarse tranquilizer (pun intended).

2. Did tRump just say this? I had the TV muted so missed it if he did.

Can’t even read a Teleprompter without screwing it up. Every day he sacrifices a few more brain cells.

[Atman]

4. Yes, he actually said that.

Once he realized his mistake, he repeated "the future of our children" over and over again to try and mitigate his gaffe.

[Grammy23]

7. Probably the first time he saw that phrase was when he actually read it off the TelePrompTer.

He is such a lazy bastard, he can’t be bothered with practicing. So when he glanced at the TelePrompTer, he misread it as “furniture” and it came out of his mouth before he could stop himself. So one more goofy thing to add to the long list of things he has said. He really is a moron. And to think he believes he could join MENSA.

[Atman]

11. Any intellgent person would know that the word "furniture" would not be in his speech.

That's part of what reading is all about. Context. There are certain words you can anticipate given the subject matter you're talking about. How would an intelligent person even begin to think that the next word would be "furniture." Unless he didn't have the slightest clue what the hell he was talking about...er, reading.

[Grammy23]

13. Exactly. He had NO IDEA what was in the speech.

First time he laid eyes on it. So on the fly, reading from the TelePrompTer, he looked at the word, only saw some of the letters and said furniture instead of future. It just popped out before he could edit it. It was a clear demonstration of his lack of knowledge of what he was reading before hand. He is a lazy bastard. Won’t practice or rehearse or even skim over the text. It chills me to the bone to think this ignoramus is occupying the Presidency. I say “occupying” because there is no way in hell he got there the legitimatel way. He had inside help and some of us know it. Eventually, we will all know exactly what was done and “who done it”.

18. Ha good point

You can let words run through your head/out of your mouth without attaching any thought to them. It reminds me of when I would read the bible as a 9 year old and after ten minutes I'm like wait... am I reading the bible? I wonder what it's been talking about.

[lark]

20. No, don't think that at all.

I think he knows that his dementia is growing and is just lying to his base (probably even sometimes himself) to try and cover up and make it seem like at least he thinks he's normal and really smart. He knows he barely graduated college so when he says he was at the top of his class, he's just trying to fool others. It's part of his huge hit back mentality, lie and lie big is what he does constantly.

3. IKEA just gave a huge donation.

Oranj-haren will be a big seller.

[ExciteBike66]

8. Ironically, IKEA furniture will not last long enough to be inherited... nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. ROFL!

But isn't that "Oranj-hären"?

[Atman]

38. I didn't have access to my umlauts.

[ProudLib72]

5. Let me introduce you to my two sons

Ethan and Allen.

12. +1

16. .

[bronxiteforever]

21. You are a Comic genius

[bdamomma]

6. oh well he is losing it big time.

how can you get "future" out of "furniture"? He is showing his dementia symptoms on a daily basis.

[Grammy23]

9. Dont know about the dementia thing...but

When you are unfamiliar with the text of your speech, you make mistakes like that. He glanced at the word and intuitively guessed at what he was supposed to say next. We tend to do that when we read....see a grouping of letters and make a guess at what the word should be. We all do that. But HE made that mistake because A. He didn’t write the text and B. He was too lazy to read over it before delivering his speech. He likes to just wing it....and often adds in his own comments. Ad lib. That is why we get some really jaw dropping moments when he makes a speech.

[bdamomma]

10. correct

he likes to go off script. And say things like "calm before the storm" and many more.

[Brother Buzz]

37. It's a symptom of a learning disability

Recognizing the first two and the last two letters of a word, and blind to everything in the middle is very common with people who have mild learning disabilities. Call it dementia if you want, but I guarantee he's had this problem his entire life, evidenced by his contestant reluctance to read in public.

[logosoco]

14. I do plan on getting my youngest daughter a couch for her apartment for her birthday bext week.

But we are thrift store shoppers, so it really won't be much of a sacrifice.

[niyad]

24. ARC on saturdays is a good deal.

[GallopingGhost]

15. What can we say,

the man really knows how to give a polished speech!

[Dave Starsky]

28. Nice.

[MindPilot]

17. probably thinking about when your daughters are old enough...

to take furniture shopping.

You know, when "he moves on her like a bitch".

[IronLionZion]

19. You try building IKEA furniture

it really is a painful sacrifice in a way. Like Sweden is torturing us with missing parts that we can't get from any hardware store because they are nonstandard. Then try moving. That furniture is meant to go together once and never be taken apart again.

[bronxiteforever]

22. He is sofa king stupid

[Beartracks]

35. I see what you did there!

Nice. Lol

===========

[SHRED]

23. I just made this

[Atman]

39. HA!

Well done!

[L. Coyote]

25. May Guard Bless America.

Four scores and seven beers ago ... Good thing Lincoln didn't use a teleprompter.

[SummerSnow]

27. He had furniture on the brain. Melania must have thrown a chair at him last night.

[L. Coyote]

36. Those gold chairs are heavy, could cause brain damage.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. That speech had a lot of polish.

It was couched in strong language, and he put quite a bit on the table. He's a snappy dresser, too.

[yuiyoshida]

31. Has he been talking to George W. Bush?

That sounds more like a statement Bush would have made.

[Initech]

32. "That little screwdriver thing that comes with Ikea furniture, I invented that!"

"It's called a Trump wrench, thank you!"

[Thor_MN]

33. Well, he has the best words... They don't make any sense, but they are the best.

[Beartracks]

34. "Some day" - sweeps hand over living room vista - "all this will be yours!"
