Donald Trump does not roam nonsense in his speeches.
Instead, he makes the “weave”.
Well, that’s according to the former president, who told a campaign rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Friday:
You know, I weave. Do you know what the weave is? I’ll talk about nine different things, and they all come back brilliantly together and it’s like, and friends of mine who are, like, English professors, they say, “That’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen.” But the fake news, you know what they say? “He fell.”

The mockery came quickly.
James Shapiro, professor of English at Columbia University, said New York Times: “I read Trump’s comment boasting that ‘I do the weave.'” I take him at his word, since one of the Oxford English Dictionary’s definitions of “weave” is “to follow a tortuous course.”
Trump cinema Tim O’Brien ripped it like “Word Salad” or “The Crazy”.
Other detractors on X, formerly Twitter, also weighed in:
