'His brain is completely out of commission': Trump stuns during economics Q&A

Donald Trump left jaws on the floor as he answered questions from Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at the Economic Club of Chicago.

In a series of questions about the economy, Micklethwait desperately tried to keep the conversation on track until Trump had to explain to him, "It's called the weave." The term has become Trump's new way of weaving through dozens of different issues in an effort to answer a simple question.

This drew an immediate hackle from Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, who posted on X, "Hey, I know! After he has an onstage shart-induced ischemic event let’s let him do an interview! What could go wrong?”

At another point, Trump was asked whether he would agree to a "peaceful transfer of power" after the election. He claimed that's what happened last time. The internet erupted in fury asking how anyone could consider what happened on Jan. 6 the example of "peace and love," as Trump said it was.

Television writer Brian Behar called Trump "a baby." He pointed out that "the reporter asks him one follow-up and Trump whines 'he didn’t want to do the interview.' Putin must be salivating to get his puppet back."

Former Joe Biden video editor Chris Strider pointed out, "Reminder: Trump crumbles at the slightest of push-backs."

"He’s a traitor to this country," former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-FL) said on X.

"The decline is real," said Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko, who commented after watching Trump talk about Virginia voting when answering questions about breaking up Google as a monopoly.

Trump also fumbled when asked what he would do to reduce government spending. His answer was about the new Air Force One. He then rambled about his attempts to negotiate with Boeing over the price of the new Air Force One, which he then said that he wanted to be like the plane the Saudi leaders use.

"His brain is completely out of commission," said lawyer Geoge Conway, who is running Anti-Psychopath PAC to draw attention to such comments.

Melanie D'Arrigo, who runs the Campaign for New York Health, responded to Trump's plan to bolster the American economy with tariffs: "Donald Trump wants you to pay $735,000 for a $35,000 car."
