This Club Remix Of Trump’s Unhinged Ramp Speech Will Make Your Day
Tiësto is shaking.
You might remember that a few weeks back, US President Donald Trump held a disastrous rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
It was disastrous for a few reasons, the primary one being it was practically empty — over one million people had registered to attend the event, but only 6200 turned up. Bizarrely, that was due to a mass organisation effort from K-pop stans, who discovered they could just register for tickets and not actually turn up, which massively overinflated the expected attendance leading up to the rally. In reality, Trump’s rally was smaller than a Wiggles concert.
His speech, meanwhile, was unhinged even by his standards. It ran for a staggering two hours, and included a six-minute rant explaining why he awkwardly walked down a ramp at West Point military academy a week earlier.
“I just saluted almost 600 times. I just made a big speech. I sat for other speeches. I’m being baked. I’m being baked like a cake,” he told the crowd. “I said, ‘General, there’s no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass, General. I have no railing’. It would’ve been better if I’d fallen and slid down the damn ramp.”
The speech quickly became internet fodder, with How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor turning it into a rambling acoustic number. Now, thanks to Twitter user Rex Chapman, it’s received the club remix it deserves. It’s already racked up nearly 70,000 retweets on the old Twitter — get stuck into it below.
