Trump delivers nonsensical rant about ‘Biden circles’ and Musk’s ‘rocket ship’

Donald Trump delivered another head-scratching rant during his speech at the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday muddling his economic message in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

While warning attendees about a total economic disaster if Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris wins the election, Trump seemingly lost his train of thought, going from talking about manufacturers leaving American cities, to Elon Musk, to discussing ‘Biden circles.’

“It’s very sad to see it. And it’s so simple. I mean, you know, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land. Or he gets the engines back,” Trump said.

He continued: “That was the first I realized. I said, ‘Who the hell did that? I saw engines about three, four years ago. These things were coming. Cylinders, no wings, no nothing. And they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom!”

“Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right?” Trump said, seemingly referring to Biden’s 2020 campaign’s social distancing circles.

“He’d have eight circles, and he couldn’t fill ’em up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. He couldn’t fill up the eight circles, I always loved those circles, they were so beautiful, so beautiful to look at,” Trump continued.

He then claimed that Biden “used to have the press stand in those circles, cause they couldn’t get the people.”

“Then I heard we lost. Oh, we lost,” Trump added. “No, we’re never gonna let that happen again. But we’ve been abused by other countries. We’ve been abused by our own politicians, really, more than other countries.”
