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.

    Looking down on your enemies is a surefire way to get surprised by them, just sayin.

    Hell, everyone laughed and called him a circus act during the run up to his election, convinced he wouldnt win so no one dealt with him seriously, and look what happened? we got 4 years of Trumpism, stacked courts, the loss of Roe v Wade, and an epidemic resulted in over a million deaths, most of which would have been preventable if not for him and his actions.

    So, sure, laugh at him. Mock him… Just stop underestimating him.

      Again, Trump is a moronic monkey. It’s not his intelligence, smarts or whatever you want to label it. It’s his team that makes things happen and it’s the retarded voters that like him.

      I’m not underestimating anything. The election is going to be a shit show and I’m positive the MAGA nuts will actually kill people on election day.

        I didnt label anything. I said don’t underestimate him.

        You’re the one coming out swinging wildly about his intelligence and being the living embodiment of the kind of attitude I was warning against in a petulant fit for some god forsaken reason.
