Trump, reciting songs and praising cannibals, draws yawns and raises eyebrows
(AFP) Former US president Donald Trump raised eyebrows among his no-nonsense New Jersey crowd at a rally Saturday when he recited a 1963 soul song in its entirety and referenced a fictional cannibal as "great."
In a meandering recitation of "The Snake" during a more than 90 minute speech, Trump used the Oscar Brown song to draw a parallel with "illegal immigration and how stupid it is what we're doing right now."
"We're letting people come into our country that we will only be trouble," said the Republican contender for president.

(185,311 posts)He told a story recently, again, about his uncle surviving a plane crash during WWII and landing in an island with cannibals. Papa New Guinea.
It was a thing on talk radio 3 weeks ago so MAGA brains may have lost it.

And yes there were cannibals in that part of the world.

Think about it. There has to be an average level of magat stupidity, so there exists a lower range of magatry intelligence that you would need to pull him down to in order to peel off the top 30% of them.
I hope he starts reading poetry and song lyrics at every rally.
