People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.

Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.

When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter.

“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.

    Lmao you literally said “both sides are the same”

    He’s the red team pick, so the red team likes him. No different from whoever the blue team pick is for the blue team.

      The system is such that nobody gets a choice on either side. This doesn’t mean that both sides are the same. For example, clearly the blue team is better for poor people, and the red team is better for the rich. This isn’t difficult english. This is what happens when you don’t strive to do anything beyond repeating what you think you are supposed to repeat.
