Donald Trump once again made headlines for some of his comments at a rally in the Bronx on Thursday, May 23. While speaking to the crowd, he rambled on about putting on his clothes on by himself.
“Some of the greatest days of my business career were in the toughest times,” Trump, 77, said in a pre-written script before veering off. “But I enjoyed waking up every single morning and — go to battle."
“A lot of people say to me today, the toughest business people, people that you know about, ‘Could I ask you a question: How do you do it?’ I say, ‘Do what?’” he continued.
Trump then continued to have an imaginary conversation with himself. “‘How do you get up in the morning and put your pants on? Why do you put those pants on?’ ‘I’ll explain it to you someday’ ‘How do you do it? How do you get up? How?’” he asked.
Of course, people weighed in on the recent remarks. One person wrote, "Oof this is not going well," while another said, "This again? The one where he says his greatest achievement is that he makes grown men cry when he puts on pants????"
A third person stated, "Yesterday at his rally in the Bronx, Donald Trump bragged about putting on his pants in the morning, he was stumbling over his words, he didn’t put forward policy, and he was ranting incoherently. And THIS is the guy Republicans want running the country? Embarrassing."
This is hardly the first time Trump has been called out for his weird remarks.
A few weeks back at a New Jersey rally, the ex-president went off on a bizarre tangent about Hannibal Lecter, the serial killer from the 1991 movie Silence of the Lambs.
“They’re emptying out their mental institutions into the United States, our beautiful country,” Trump said. “And now the prison populations all over the world are down. They don’t want to report that the mental institution population is down because they’re taking people from insane asylums and from mental institutions. You know what the difference is, right? An insane asylum is a mental institution on steroids.”
“Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? 'Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,' as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter," he continued.

Some of the greatest days from my business career were the toughest times, but I enjoyed waking up every single morning and going to battle. A lot of people say to me today that the toughest business people, people that you know about, can I ask you a question, 'How do you do it? How do you get up in the morning and put your pants on. I will explain it to you some day. How do you do it? How do you get up?
