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.

    I can’t say for sure, but the reason I’ve not seen it is probably the same as the reason nobody seems to be able to link to examples of it.

      Well, you hadn’t asked for a link. This individual is the one I’ve seen most recently, spending his time with the common troll tactic of pivoting and attacking insignificant parts of an argument to try to discredit the whole. Here he is advocating third party voting:

        Very interesting, thanks, that’s a first for me around here. It’s interesting to see someone actually do what so many people get blamed for.
