The president went on a bizarre tangent about the proper way to cook a turkey during his Tuesday night rally in Charleston, West Virginia.
...
It started like this:
I have tremendous respect for China. I mean, the energy, the genius … it’s incredible what they have done. We can’t do it, it’s got to be a two-way street. We have only one-way streets. ... You know what bothers me? I have people coming to me, some people in Congress — “Sir, can you get this deal done immediately?”
Then things took a bizarre turn toward “covfefe” when he said the deal wouldn’t work if he followed their advice
because “it’s gotta gestate. The word ‘gestate.’”
That’s when Trump went on a tangent that seemed less like a political argument and more like a failed audition for the Food Network.
He said the deal had to gestate “like when you are cooking a chicken. Time … time … turkey for Thanksgiving.”
It got stranger:
My mother would say eight hours. I said, “Eight hours?” … She made the greatest turkey I ever had. It takes time. It takes time. So when they run and say, “Can you do NATO right now? Can you sign it next week?” I say, “Wait a minute.” … I like Mexico. I like the new leader. I think he’s going to be terrific. A little different than us. I think I am doing better with him than with the capitalist. But he knows Mexico needs the United States.
