Trump Panned For Rambling White House Remarks on Wall Negotiations: ‘His Brain is Broken’

Political observers are scratching their heads as they try to make sense of the monologue President Donald Trump deivered from the White House Rose Garden on Friday.

The president and his allies gave an address to the media after the end of their meeting with Congressional Democrats regarding border security and the government shutdown. It was difficult to make sense out of Trump’s remarks though because he kept bouncing around as he hyped up his border wall, talked about the steel industry, and made all sorts of disjointed, rambling points as he spoke.

Naturally, the Twitter-verse is following this. And so far, a lot of people are taking in Trump’s comments and saying he’s either babbling again or just not making a whole lot of sense.

President has emerged from WH to put his spin on the budget meeting with…another rambling and discursive monologue.

Let’s hope the president takes some questions after these lengthy remarks… many lingering questions (and fact checks)

Trump just incoherently bouncing between jobs numbers, border security, left turns and non-existent new steel companies as Republicans look on in terror as to what he’ll say next. pic.twitter.com/PCIlvT2Ab4
