‘Surely, you jest,’ one X user wrote in response to Vance. Trump has an extensive history of giving long-winded, off-script speeches and coining his own phrases, like “lamestream media” or “Ron DeSanctimonious” — a derogatory nickname for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump’s lengthy speeches could even cost the White House, with staff reportedly in talks to hire more stenographers to keep up with the president’s remarks.
Trump’s stream-of-consciousness speeches during his campaign, which often took dark and disjointed turns, led him to coin another phase: “the weave.”. “You make a speech, and my speeches last a long time because of the weave, you know, I mean, I weave stories into it,” he explained to Joe Rogan. “If you don’t — if you just read a teleprompter, nobody’s going to be very excited. You’ve got to weave it.”.
Other gaffes include the infamous “covfefe” incident, in which Trump inexplicably posted at 12:06 a.m. on May 31, 2017: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”. Sean Spicer, serving as White House press secretary at the time, claimed, “the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.”.
