You may think Donald Trump rambles when he talks, but the former president insists it’s just something that he does called “the weave.”
During The Late Show on Tuesday, Stephen Colbert played a clip of Trump saying “acclemented” instead of “acclimated” in a speech before defending his waffling style of public speaking as some kind of strategy.
“You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about like nine different things and they all come back brilliantly together,” says Trump. “Friends of mine that are like, English professors say it’s the most brilliant thing they’ve ever seen.”
“It’s the most brilliant thing,” responds Colbert, in Trump impression mode. “Then these English professors, they stand up on the desk and they say, ‘Oh Captain, my Captain.’ And first me and Ethan Hawke are kind of rebels, we don’t want to do the reading, but in the end we really like Robin Williams. We miss you Mork, nanu nanu, Mrs Doubtfire, Good Morning, Vietnam, Night at the Museum, Aladdin, acclemented [sic], and we’re back, it’s the weave.”
