People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.

Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.

When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter.

“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.

    I mean I can’t stand the dude but some of his voters have to be strategic. I’ll be voting for Biden but he certainly isn’t the most accurate representative of my thoughts. Quite the opposite in most things really.

      I hear you, but it sure seems like the people who vote for Trump are fairly happy with him, whereas the people who vote for Biden are dissatisfied that they don’t have a better option. I would say this is anecdotal, but that seems to be the mainstream media’s take on it, so I can’t be the only one seeing this.
