Former US president Donald Trump raised eyebrows among his no-nonsense New Jersey crowd at a rally Saturday when he recited a 1963 soul song in its entirety and referenced a fictional cannibal as "great.""A tenderhearted woman saw a poor, half-frozen snake," Trump said, reciting -- but not singing -- the song to the crowd.

    The article lost me at “[Trump’s] no-nonsense New Jersey crowd at a rally”.

    Am I supposed to assume that the folks showing up at a Trump rally are no-nonsense? I beg your forgiveness, but I’m struggling with that one. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

    As for “draws yawns” and “raises eyebrows”, cool stuff if some of these folks are feeling fatigue from the hate machine or are newly perplexed by their political leader. Better late than never, I suppose.

    At first I thought it read “praising cannabis” and I was like, wait that doesn’t make sense, better re-read it … then it made even less sense…what the heck is going on? We have puppy killers and cannibal praisers who believe they should be leading the US, and the worst part is that people vote for them, a lot of people.

      If you’ve ever listened to Trump speak for even a minute and you think “yep, that’s my guy”, you’re totally lost already. And those people will still vote for him no matter how unhinged he or how obvious his dementia becomes.
