Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared at a rally in Naples, Florida on Sunday. Sunday appearances are a rarity for the candidate, but we’re getting down to the wire now. At the rally, he ditched the teleprompter to question his decision to run for president, and, perhaps, his sanity.
Trump: ‘Are We Happy?’
Trump’s teleprompter was telling him to talk about companies that import products when he decided to veer off-course and into his own head. He said:
“When I’m president, if companies want to fire their workers and leave — Are you okay? Listen. When I’m president, this is to me, like, this is why I started. Are we glad that I started? Are we happy? Well, I’ll let you know on the evening of Nov. 8 whether I’m glad.”
Perhaps he had to gird his loins with that word salad before talking about imposing a 35 percent tax on companies that leave the United States to manufacture their goods overseas. After all, Trump is notorious for doing just that. Hell, he even wrote about how outsourcing is a good thing.
Interestingly enough, I, personally, would be totally in favor of such a tax.
The Gibberish And Lunacy Continued
Trump also said at the Florida rally:
“I’ll tell you what: We’re doing well in the polls, but, you know, I really think those polls are very inaccurate when it comes to women. I think we’re doing better with women than with men, frankly.”
This is so wrong that it’s laughable. Just because some women with Stockholm Syndrome show up at your events, Mr. Trump, that doesn’t mean that women are voting for you in droves.
I give you Exhibit A:

Trump also went off on a tangent about the Everglades, of all things:
“You don’t want to be down there. Right? I’ve heard for a long time: Go around the Everglades. It will take you longer but — not good. But we’re going to protect them.”
Yes, the man who believes global warming is a hoax invented by China is going to be a YUUUGE protector of the environment. Sure.
Reporter Jenna Johnson also reported that vendors outside the rally were selling shooting targets with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s face on them, that Trump said he would block all Syrian refugees from entering the country, and that Clinton is “trigger-happy.”
Witness the death throes of a dying campaign.
