    “Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you’re doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they’re gonna vote for me, they’re gonna vote for me because it’s not just on Fox, it’s on Fox is a smaller part of it. You’re on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you’re on, you’re all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They’ve been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down”

    Can anyone help? I don’t have a senile narcissist to English translator!

      I’ll take a stab at it.

      I do these shows and everyone wants to see it. It goes viral and everyone looks it up on Google to watch on their phones. But Google is doing something to block it, so if I win I’m going to shut them down.

          For donny you have to analyze like non native speaker or child. Who, what, where, when, and why. Also everything is either positive/negative for him.

          He mentions Google, it’s bad.

          Him doing interviews on shows, good, the best.

          Fox, good show

          people on phones; good tech

          trying to watch him, good. obvious see above

          Google close down; veiled threat. Constantly does this, mob talk. “It would be a shame if something happened to your establishment.” He also did it when he called Georgia secretary of state to find him more votes. He brought up his daughter, beautiful daughter. You want to do the right thing for her.

      I know he’s always been prone to kind of incoherent rambling, and quotes straight from his rallies are usually stream-of-consciousness walls of text like this. But it really seems like it’s getting worse over time. Not sure if it’s senility or drug addiction or stress or whatever else, but Trump really seems to be unraveling.

          Not in the news. But I am not American, I don’t watch what Trump has to say (or rather, I barely watch news for years).

          Years ago I used to hear him talk while he was president and it was really cringe but this transcript from the first reply just seems a bit surreal. Insane, rather.

          Edit: I was curious enough to go visit the article URL and take a look at the video but there doesn’t seem to be a video of the Fox clip they write about (or ublock/etc hide it). Maybe it’s for the best… 😁

        Yes this is the direct quote the article refers to. He rambles nonsense, often self contradicting, and then people in the media try to fashion it into coherent points for him, leading to a fake impression of competency, misleading the public and voters. This is the man who had to have his national security briefings summarized into a few brief bullet points with pictures, and he was apparently still unable to read them.

      Even ChatGPT is confused

      The text seems to convey a few disjointed points:

      1. No Call from Google: It starts by mentioning that no one called from Google, but this point is unclear and not elaborated on.

      2. Importance of Media Exposure: The speaker emphasizes that doing shows like the one being discussed is important because these shows are widely seen, not just on Fox but everywhere through clips shared on cell phones and other platforms.

      3. Effect on Voting: The speaker believes that a good performance on the show will positively influence people to vote for them.

      4. Reach of the Show: The speaker highlights that the show is not limited to Fox but is widely distributed and accessible, thus amplifying its impact.

      5. Praise for the Show: The speaker compliments the show’s product and brand, suggesting it has great reach and quality.

      6. Need for Exposure: There’s an emphasis on the need to be active and appear on various shows to maximize exposure.

      7. Criticism of Google: The speaker criticizes Google for being irresponsible and suggests that the company might be close to shutting down, although this point is vague and unsubstantiated.

      Overall, the rant is an unfocused mix of praising media exposure, expressing a belief in the power of TV appearances to influence voters, and criticizing Google.

      To make things worse, I also asked it to Yodaify it

      Called from Google, nobody did. Doing a show like yours, yes, on Fox you see it. But everywhere, really, it is. Clips of your show they take, with me right now, doing it you are. Do a good job, I must, for vote for me, they will. On Fox alone, it is not, smaller part Fox is. All over this, you are. On those little beautiful cell phones, you are. A great product, you have. A great brand, you have. Out you must get, out you must get. Things like your show, and other shows, do you must. Very bad Google has been, very irresponsible. Close to shutting down, Google is, a feeling I have.

    Google, like the other big tech companies, absolutely need to be broken up with antitrust. Not destroyed, just broken up to force the resulting smaller companies to be more competitive instead of relying on their size and market domination to exploit everyone from their consumers to their employees. Everyone would benefit from that including investors who would see more growth.

    But Trump doesn’t say that because their monopolistic position allows them to pull increasingly anticonsumer practices. He just wants to raze it to the ground because they don’t block search results that hurt his endlessly fragile ego.

        No idiots there.

        He’s still not behind bars despite going to Epstein’s.

        Most of those who visited the place and probably do the bidding of people having the records are still anonymous.

        I’d still be wary of trusting Harris and anyone of D establishment, let’s not forget that Trump got elected first time because of them. He shouldn’t become president, but Harris’ term should be used for a new major party to form IMHO, or it won’t get better.

        Of course, I’m typing this from Moscow, Russia, so take this with a grain of salt.
