Why does Trump open his Scranton speech by ranting about the wind?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump was in Scranton, Pennsylvania today, where he gave a really unhinged speech. He was just cursing about the wind. Play the clip. The wind,
Donald Trump 0:10
the wind, it sounds so wonderful. The wind, the wind, the wind is bullshit. I'll tell you, it's horrible.
Ben Meiselas 0:17
And here he was, again, entirely unhinged, but judge for yourself, bragging about his memory and saying he's got a great memory. Here, watch this.
Donald Trump 0:26
I have a great memory. I can talk about hundreds of things at one time and always get back to that point that you were trying to make. I can do things that people can't do, but you know what? We have the biggest, this is, the most important period in the history of our country because our country, this is a nation
Ben Meiselas 0:49
in decline. We are a nation. Then he starts talking about a five-year-old child who knows more about Russia, very focused on Russia. Play this
Donald Trump 0:58
clip. Where is he?

What does Trump claim about his memory and why is it highlighted?

Donald Trump 1:01
Okay, so you take a child. You take a child who's five years old, he knows more about Russia than my son. He'd do nothing.
Ben Meiselas 1:11
Of course, we've learned from the recent Bob Woodward book that Donald Trump was sending COVID tests to Vladimir Putin at the height of COVID when we didn't have tests here at the United States, and that he's had more than seven or so conversations with Vladimir Putin since he's left office. Also, that Donald Trump was given 50 or more burner phones by MBS, the crown prince of Saudi Arabian Lindsey Graham, mega-Republican, was facilitating that. Here, Donald Trump just starts yelling, tampon Tim, play the clip.
Donald Trump 1:41
The work there, and yesterday, tampon Tim said, you know why they call him that? Because they sell tampons with special legislation in boys' locker rooms, can you believe
Ben Meiselas 1:56
it? Here, Donald Trump says that his focus right now is on New Jersey and Virginia and New York,
Donald Trump 2:01
play it. We're doing arenas because the crowds are so big. And we're making a play for New Jersey. We're making a play for Virginia. We're making a play for New York, New Mexico, Minnesota, where this lunatic comes from.
Ben Meiselas 2:18
Biden says that Vice President Kamala Harris claims she worked like a dog at McDonald's, but she claims she didn't work there. And again, he uses this term working like a dog. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:30
I say that all the time. And, you know, if I'm a little bit off with the statement, they say, Donald Trump, you know, he lied. He lied. It was terrible. Now, you have lying Kamala. She lies about everything, including where she worked. Remember, I worked so hard at McDonald's. It was unbelievable. I stood over the French fries all summer, winter, fall, spring. I was... She never worked there. She lied. You know the beauty of that? They'll say, oh, it's so terrible to bring that up. It's so simple. No, David, the beauty of that, it's so simple. It's so easy to understand. She said she worked like a dog in McDonald's and it never happened. She didn't work there. That's better than some complex, long story that I have to before we get to the fact that she's a no good liar.
Donald Trump 3:22
But you know what's more?
Ben Meiselas 3:24
More on windmills from Donald Trump. This was a major part of his speech, just ranting and raving about windmills the entire time.

How does Trump use a five‑year‑old’s knowledge of Russia to criticize the Biden administration?

Ben Meiselas 3:31
Let me show it to you.
Donald Trump 3:33
You know, I flew over some of those beautiful windmills. They're falling down, by the way. They're all over the place. They're all over the place. That gorgeous, beautiful Pennsylvania countryside. They got these big, ugly suckers hanging down there, rusting and rotting. Half of them weren't spinning. And the ones that were were going so slow. They were going. It's not too windy, but, you know, they're going like slow. The other ones were just dead. But they're all rusting and disgusting looking.
Ben Meiselas 4:01
Here, Donald Trump lies and says that FEMA has spent all of their funds and has no more funds and isn't responding to the emergency. This is false. Also, the MAGA Republicans voted against FEMA funding. Also, it was Donald Trump who would not release FEMA funds to states that he didn't like or to areas that he think didn't vote for him. But play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:24
Everything will be beautiful once I take office. Everything is good.
