        He built up Lee to talk about the great general from OHIO kicking his ass at the end of the Civil War. Ulysses Grant. Look it up, you dim bulb.

        I live in Cincinnati, and I can tell you this was 40 miles outside the city and easily the whitest region he could have possibly had a rally around here.

        That’s pretty incompetent of you. He’s hyping Lee to explain why *Grant* was a better general. But I guess it was just too hard to listen for one more sentence.

        Naw, most of us stopped listening b/c of all the lies he spews in strings of circuitous illogic & meandering nonsense, combined w/ the sound of that horrific accent with which he incites rage & violence & cruelty.

        Watched a little. It always gets me how his behavior is so effeminate when in front of a crowd. The way he turns his head and arm movements. Really feminine.

        Trump meanders between delusional and gaslighting so effortlessly.

        This is a complete lie.... he was praising general Grant. Did you not listen to the rest of his speech like a minute later. You wonder why people say the media misleads people. He was talking about Grant because he was from Ohio and the rally was in Ohio
