Trump, fresh from a CNN interview in which he likened Ben Carson's “pathological temper” to incurable “child molesting,” sauntered onto the stage and began an epic tirade that, if it came from anyone else, would amount to a campaign killer.
From Trump? Who knows.
The real estate billionaire, working without any kind of script or even a basic framework, launched into a rambling series of rants about illegal immigration punctuated by signing books, reading his own tweets, talking about his cufflinks and telling often incomprehensible stories. “Does anyone care about borders?” Trump asked. “Without borders we don’t have a country, what is it?”
Shortly after this he talked about his experience with Macy’s, though it was not clear why. “I did very well with ties, shirts, fragrances and all that.”
At one point, singling out a man who called out from the audience, Trump said, “Even though you are male, I love you, never been my thing but I love you. I love everybody.”
It got much stranger very quickly as Trump railed against “anchor babies” and mocked the political correctness of calling the children of immigrants anything else.
He went into a long attack on Bowe Bergdahl, saying he would have let the Taliban keep him. It was like being stuck at Thanksgiving dinner with a garrulous relative who won't stop talking.
Trump was just getting started.
Towards the end, he went back into the attack he started on CNN, going on for ten minutes on Carson's incurable "disease."
Of Carson's many tales in his book, Trump asked "how stupid are the people of Iowa, how stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?"
Trump, with great drama, mocked Carson's description of attacking a classmate with a knife, only to have the blade break on the would-be victim's belt buckle. "But lo and behold, it hit the belt! It hit the belt," Trump said, arms stretching outward. "And the knife broke. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. The knife broke."
Stepping away from the lectern, Trump demonstrated how his belt would move upward or downward if it were struck by a knife, inviting members of the audience to try it out. "It moves this way, it moves that way!" Trump said. "How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?"
