Trump's 'rambling and incoherent' South Carolina victory speech leads to new questions
Donald Trump's victory speech in South Carolina after winning the Republican Party presidential primary drew a mixture of laughter and stunned reactions on MSNBC Saturday night that led to more questions about his fitness to not only be re-elected but also to run for the presidency a third time.
As members of the panel noted, the former president went to great lengths to thank his family members and their spouses but made a glaring omission by forgetting his son Eric Trump and his wife Lara whom he has endorsed to become co-chair of the RNC.
Asked for comment about the whole affair, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow pointed to the 'incoherence" of the speech — where the former president also misidentified the supporters standing behind him — and said his speech was the kind of "schtick" the public has become accustomed to.
"There is all of the weirdness of it, " she told her co-hosts before issuing an exasperated, "What are you talking about!?"

Calling Trump "Uncle ramble standers, " she continued, "Trump is rambling and incoherent even when he is at his best early in the evening."
Continuing in that vein, she explained, "And tonight, getting that little slice of it is a real reminder again of [Republican] Nikki Haley's message. Nikki Haley is saying both Trump and Biden are both unfit and you should pick me instead."
