During his speech before a Texas "Save America Rally" on Saturday night, Donald Trump's mouth got far ahead of his brain and he struggled at times to produce a coherent sentence that led rallygoers and viewers at home wondering what he was trying to say.
At one point in his meandering speech -- while using a teleprompter -- he began to talk about "these people" and what followed came out as, "“They censor, cancel and persecute ordinary citizens for speaking the truth while they ... drown your endless torment of ... I mean, what they do ... ”
That immediately led critics of the former president to comment on what one Twitter user called his "Endless word salad" while others piled on as you can see below:

Trump's mumbling word salad...he could NOT EVEN get the simple stuff out without sounding like he had a mouth full of marbles. The guy is a MESS!— Teri Myers (@Teri Myers) 1643515587
I wonder what the MAGA record is for saying random words in a row is?— kdunnez (@kdunnez) 1643510509
At this point, an animatronic escapee from Disneyworld would do just as well.— david stafford (@david stafford) 1643510539

When your speechwriter assumes you know the word Torrent.— KarmaCorona (@KarmaCorona) 1643510724
Yup, could not decode the word, you can see him pause and ad-libs to keep the flow, but keeps looking back at teleprompter to try to figure it out.— Not the Same (@Not the Same) 1643511019
