The 40 most bizarre lines from Donald Trump's Green Bay speech
The 40 most bizarre lines from Donald Trump's Green Bay speech
Whoa boy
Donald Trump traveled to Wisconsin on Wednesday for a campaign rally in the crucial swing state.
This one had it all.
Trump jumped (sort of) into a garbage truck — get it?!?! — and gave an impromptu press conference:
And he delivered his whole speech wearing that same bright orange vest — just like a worker man:
I got the transcript of the speech Trump delivered — and went through it line by line. The, uh, best stuff is below.

“Thank you very much, everybody. And I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage.”
Ok, even if you accept that Joe Biden was calling every Trump supporter “garbage,” that’s nowhere near 250 million people! Trump got 74 million votes in 2020.
“My supporters are far higher quality than Crooked Joe or Lyin’ Kamala.”
“Higher quality.”
“My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can't lead America if you don't love Americans. It's true.”
“They are so bad and frankly, they’re evil. They’re evil.” — Donald Trump on his political opponents
“In no way is she fit. She doesn't have the intellect, the stamina, or that special quality that real leaders, people like Brett Favre, have.”
This Brett Favre? Also:
“Joe Biden's comments were the direct result of Kamala's decision to portray everyone who isn't voting for her, which is a lot of people, as evil and subhuman.”
For the people in the back: “They are so bad and frankly, they’re evil. They’re evil.” — Donald Trump
“This Tuesday is your chance to stand up and declare you are not going to take it anymore.”
“All I know is when that rocket ship came down last week, I said, oh, this is going to be terrible. It's going to crash. Look. Oh, it's going to crash. It was coming down this way, and then those jets kicked in. The fire was pouring all over the place. I said, what's going on? And all of a sudden, it started to be perfect, straight, dropped down, then those arms grabbed it like you grabbed your little baby”
Terrific stuff. Like, really outstanding. Felt like I was listening to a rocket scientist. BTW, he’s talking about this:
“As you know, their family is slightly Democrat for the last long period of time. RFK Jr., Robert F. Kennedy. And he's going to be with us, and he's going to make sure our food is safe, our people are safe, our women are safe.”
RFK Jr. is going to make sure our women are safe?
“And I said, you know, he'd be good, but what's the big deal with Buzz [Aldrin]? They said, sir, he just endorsed you, and he's never done that before.”
“Man, does he have a hand? You know, this guy shook my hand. His fingers are like sausages.”
Trump is talking about Favre. And, since we’re on the subject of hands:
"I have to say this, he hit my hands. Nobody has ever hit my hands. I’ve never heard of this one. Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands if they’re small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there’s no problem. I guarantee you.” — Donald Trump
“There was nobody like him, really. I've watched him throw those 500 yard games like it was nothing.”
Favre never threw for 500 yards in a game. In fact, he never threw for 400 yards in a game.
“Kamala and Joe call all of us and them, even them garbage.”
Again, even if you buy that Biden called all Trump supporters “garbage,” Harris said nothing of the sort. In fact, asked about Biden’s comments, she said: “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”
“I want to thank all of our incredible sanitation workers all across America. Because they work hard. They really do work hard, and they do an incredible job.”
Remember when Homer Simpson ran against Ray Patterson for Springfield Sanitation Commissioner? Yeah, me too.
“We're going to help the environment. Why didn't she do it? We had the best environment, by the way.”
The best environment. Bigly. Many people are saying it.
“And I will use a thing called the most beautiful word me ever. Ever. Not quite. Well, let me say this. How about third? Let's put religion number one and love number two. And then -- and then we'll put the word tariff number three”
Donald Trump’s list of most beautiful words, ranked: 1) “Religion” 2) “Love” 3) “Tariff”
“But what they did to Biden, and I'm no fan of his, but you know what the rumor is? He likes me more than her. Can you believe that?”
I cannot believe that. And neither should you.
“But their administration makes Jimmy Carter's administration look absolutely brilliant.”
Jimmy Carter is 100 years old and in hospice care. But sure — use him as a laugh line!
“And last night, Kamala made a speech with a lot of paid audience. They had a lot of paid audience. They came in buses. The same buses. All those same buses. You know what that means? They bus people in.”
He’s talking about Harris’ speech on the Ellipse on Tuesday night. Estimates pegged the crowd at over 70,000. And, no, there is no evidence that people were paid to attend.
“They bus them from someplace. They pay them or something. They bus them in with every bus. Beautiful bus company. I will say they did a nice job.”
“Beautiful bus company.” Totally normal stuff!
“But we don't need Beyonce. We don't need anybody. All you got is me. And I don't have a guitar. I do not have a guitar.”
Ah yes, Beyonce is totally known for her guitar-playing.
“When he called us all garbage. How stupid. What a stupid word.”
Apparently “garbage” isn’t going to unseat “religion,” “love” or “tariff” in Trump’s list of favorite words any time soon!
“So I'm in this beautiful plane. I'm enjoying myself, have a wonderful suit on. And one of my people came in and said, sir, you know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right now out there. The hottest thing out there. Sir, would you like to drive a garbage truck?”
“Beautiful plane.” “Wonderful suit.” “Garbage is the hottest thing right now out there.” And a “Sir” alert. This really had it all!!!
“And then they said, sir, we have a vest. I said, well, should I leave my suit on and put it over the vest? But that doesn't look very good, right? That doesn't look good. So I said, all right, look, let me take it off. And then I actually said, I climbed into the truck, but here's the -- so I said, how the hell do you get into this truck? It's way up high. It's a big one”
Smoooooooooth.
“Wonderful driver. He looked like Cary Grant in his prime. You know who that is?”
Cary Grant died in 1986.
“And I can't do that when I'm alongside of this great athlete. I got to get up to that. So, look. So the stair. The first stair is, like, up here. I'm saying, shit. So I had the adrenaline going, and I made it.”
He had the “adrenaline going” to get into a garbage truck? Ok man.
“I got all these people here. There's no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, oh, OK, sir. I said, get me my jacket. But if you did, you know, it actually makes you look thinner. I said, oh”
“Sir” alert! (That’s three if you’re counting — and I am!)
“And I -- you know, I'm a very -- I'm a guy. I love -- I love beauty. Oh, I love beauty.”
Offered without comment.
“No, I'm a very visual person, you know, I'm very visual. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it can't help that.”
“But I could tell the story that a race car driver, you know, a race car driver, 1 percent of 1 percent, right? 1/10 of a percent, but 1 percent of 1 percent, very little, bull riders. I think that's a slightly dangerous profession. A little bit more than a race car driver, but very little. Much less than 1 percent. A president, I don't want to tell you the percentage, but this is a very dangerous profession”
Being president, according to Trump, is more dangerous than riding bulls or driving race cars. I think.
“We got to bring those costs down. They call it groceries. Bacon, lettuce, tomatoes.”
“They call it groceries” — A regular guy who definitely shops for himself
“She loves transgender operations all over the place. Everybody should have room.”
No words.
“Elon had the black hat, right? And I didn't even know we had a black hat. And he shows up in a black hat. Make America -- and the letters were black. It was very subdued.”
“He's a member of a place called Mar-a-Lago. Nobody's ever heard of it, but he said, sir, do you mind if I give some money to the widow of Corey the firefighter?”
“And my people told me about four weeks ago, I was saying, no, I want to protect the people. I want to protect the women of our country. I want to protect the women. Sir, please don't say that. Why? They said, we think it's -- we think it's very inappropriate for you to say.”
“I want to protect the women.” [Slaps forehead] Also, “Sir” alert!
“They said, sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you to say, I pay these guys a lot of money. Can you believe it? They said, well, I'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them.”
“I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.” Yes, he really said that. And, no, I didn’t forget— “Sir” alert!
“And we have Mr. Wall here someplace. He's great. He has the wall. I'm going to use that suit someday when I come out. But he's -- and it's representative.”
This is a thing:
“We love this guy. Man, he's something. Oh, that arm. What a -- what a player. What a great guy. I think he's beyond as a person. I think he might have been beyond what he was as a player, but that's pretty hard to do.”
“And a friend of mine, he said a long time ago, sir, 2016, he says, sir, don't come up here, sir, you can't win here. You can't win. It's tough state. Don't come up.”
“And House Majority Whip, a highly respected man. A powerful man in Washington, but respected by everybody, Tom Emmer from Minnesota.”
“I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. — Donald Trump, October 2023
“Everyone will prosper. Every family will thrive. And every day will be filled with opportunity and hope and load it up with the good old American dream.”
Yeah, this feels like a good place to end.
Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like a good idea for an adjudicated rapist to say he's going to do something whether the women like it or not.
That wasn’t the most bizarre moment, though. He missed the truck door handle twice and nearly fell over. https://youtu.be/Ghwda5btuPM
