Trump rambles about Al Capone and Mike Lindell during North Carolina rally
At one point he indicated he was in Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump’s speech in Kinston, North Carolina, this afternoon — which began two hours late — was toned down and seemingly less angry than his remarks earlier today in Pennsylvania.

…

He also told a fictional story about the long-deceased Al Capone and “MyPillow” CEO Mike Lindell having dinner together, and Lindell offering Capone pillows.

“If he didn’t sleep well because he didn’t like Mike’s pillows, Mike had almost no chance of living,” Trump said. “He would dispose of Mike somewhere in a foundation of a building or something. You would never see Mike again. Mike does not want to have dinner with Scarface.” (Capone died in 1947. Lindell was born in 1961.)

The crowd in Kinston seemed confused and unsure how to react to a number of Trump’s remarks. He seemed to draw more applause when he returned to his scripted speech.

[Faux pas]

1. Oh spare the Universe you dink

[SergeStorms]

24. Have a recommendation for the use of the word 'dink.'

I haven't heard anyone use that since I was a kid. 🤭 As a middle-schooler in the early 60s, the word 'dink' was probably the strongest pejorative that could be hurled at anyone.
Thanks for reminding me of that, Faux pas.

[Faux pas]

25. Thank you SergeStorms

I figured it was time to haul it out of moth balls and let some of the younger generations have the satisfaction of learning what it means and tossing it around freely.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

28. I was a single digit age in the early 70s

'Dink' was heavily used until about '76 or so.

[SergeStorms]

32. Good to know.

I thought it probably died out by then, but it's good to know it lived on another decade or two. It's definitely a baby-boomer term, though.

[OKIsItJustMe]

35. Thanks to "Bad Janet" it's contemporary...

[SergeStorms]

38. I wasn't aware!

Thanks for posting that. It looks like a funny show. 🤣

[OKIsItJustMe]

39. I describe it as "Philosophy 101..."

(with fart jokes.)

Very funny in my opinion.

[Tarzanrock]

2. That criminal fucking traitor is already teetering on the edges of sanity.

This isn't exactly a "mind" which is fully functional and all the "cognitive" gears are properly meshing. I'll be pretty interested in what the psychologists and psychiatrists have to say about the Turd's coming narcissistic collapse. That treasonous prick couldn't/wouldn't accept getting his ass kicked by Joe Biden. It's going to be a whole hell of a lot worse on his pysche getting his fat racist ass kicked worse by a black woman.

[OKIsItJustMe]

3. I saw it suggested that he is not racist, nor is he sexist, or an islamaphobe, or an antisemite...

He is a sociopath, who treats everyone equally poorly, regardless of race, creed, gender, national origin, social status…

[William Seger]

8. He's a sociopath AND all of those things

One thing we can with some certainty is that he categorizes and ranks people by race, creed, gender, national origin, social status. He gave another great example recently, talking about how he's smart because he has good genes, and Harris is stupid because she doesn't.

[Faux pas]

37. On

Earth 2 right

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. It's like he's MC'ing his own political funeral.

Shout out to Mike Lindal and Al Capone on his way to prison. What about Rudi? Is he chopped liver?

[Shellback Squid]

5. Is he threatening Mike Lindell? Mike has to complete a task and if not there are consequences?

[ananda]

9. Interesting take... and quite possible.

Good catch.

[OKIsItJustMe]

10. I picked up on the same implicit threat

They don’t call him “Don” for nothing.

[love_katz]

21. I don't understand why this isn't nationwide news.

It is so incredibly obvious, from the way Fibonacci talks, that he is a mobster, through and through.

Why can't more people see this!?! It is like a bloody flashing neon sign.

They dance around it a little bit, but… it’s really pretty clear.

TRUMP, INC.
“Trump, Inc.” and Former FBI Deputy Chief Andrew McCabe Compare Notes
McCabe talks about going after Russian organized crime in Brighton Beach as a young agent — and how some of those characters showed up in the Mueller report.

Heather Vogell, ProPublica, and Andrea Bernstein, WNYC May 29, 2019, 4 a.m. EDT

Before he became infamous for working on the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Trump Russia investigation, former acting FBI chief Andrew McCabe investigated the Russian mob in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. McCabe has been asking some of the questions we at “Trump, Inc.” have asked ourselves about Trump’s business. So today, we compare notes.

In this conversation with Andrea Bernstein and Heather Vogell, of “Trump, Inc.,” McCabe talks about why it makes sense that some of the people he investigated in the 1990s have resurfaced in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, what questions he still has after the Mueller report and why he and former FBI director Jim Comey have said Trump’s management style reminds them of the mob.

Trump has long denied any wrongdoing, and he has said he was simply acting as an ordinary businessman in his Russia dealings.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

17. He's always threatening someone.

[GB_RN]

6. Unreal.

The word salad that is Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent’s typical speech just degrades further with every passing second! Indeed, it’s now more of a rotten-vegetable word soup: You know, it’s like all that liquid in the bottom of a pre-mixed salad bag because the lettuce spoiled as a result of you forgetting about it for a few weeks!🤢🤮

[niyad]

22. At least when my pre-mixed salad goes bad, I can toss it in the compost bin,

where it will be of use. There is NO use, at any time, in any iteration, for CCtheC!

[Arne]

7. A confession is in there. Where did he say the body was?

[William Seger]

11. "The weave" is proof that The DonOld has gone 'round the bend

He thinks all his random topics "all come back together" to make some point -- e.g. you're expected to recognize that he talks about Hannibal Lecter because other countries are "sending" us people they had in insane asylums. And apparently the Al Capone thing means that we should be outraged that The DonOld is getting treated worse than someone who would murder you. The only thing that ties all these "threads" is The DonOld's delusions.

[duncang]

12. If you weave shit

You still end up with shit.

[dchill]

18. Woven shit.

[usonian]

13. Al Capone died from the effects of syphillis.

Don't know (nor do I really care) if recent hallucinations are the result of new drugs, or just deterioration going on in the few remaining neurons in his brain.

He won't release medical reports, but rumor has it that he had a CAT scan of his brain, and neurologists reported that "We found absolutely nothing."

Carry on.

[Dumpy]

14. Trump rambles all the time

How is this breaking news?

[niyad]

23. Welcome to our DU family.

Maybe the fact that the msm is, far too late, actually acknowledging this is the news?

[Dumpy]

29. Thank you.

[TBF]

31. The Al Capone thing is new -

I think it goes to the state of his rapidly worsening dementia?

That's all I got - you do make a fair point.

[Skittles]

33. BECAUSE HE IS THE REPUKE CANDIDATE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

THAT IS WHY

[4lbs]

15. "returned to his scripted speech." Like in, remembered that he had a teleprompter in front of him?

There is a scene in the new movie "Smile 2" where the main character (Skye Riley), is giving a public
speech and reading from a teleprompter. It stops, she fumbles around, and doesn't know what to say.

So she goes "off script" and rambles for a while, then blurts out something she shouldn't and screams out as the teleprompter begins working again.

Was it like that?

[GoodRaisin]

20. Yes, following script, for example, the economic lies he's supposed to be telling

i.e., “the economy is terrible”, “I won’t tax social security”, “I will give middle class workers tax breaks”, “Harris will raise your taxes”, etc. etc..

[Aussie105]

16. When Hannibal Lecter is one of your heroes . . .

and you make up stories about Al Capone and Mike Lindell having a conversation over dinner, you know his brain is properly cooked.

Reality and Trump's awareness of it - never a strong link there, but his brain has permanently broken any connection now.

Doing rude things with a microphone just confirms it.

[mwb970]

19. Well of course they are "confused".

They're trump cultists.

[10 Turtle Day]

26. He is stark raving mad.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

27. It's just one syphilitic reminiscing about another.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

30. Syphilis is what wounded him in The Battle of Studio 54

[rockfordfile]

34. Syphilis is a problem in FL.

Not surprised considering it's FL.
