So last week they called me, and they say, ‘Sir, West Point. You’ll find it in the video player at the top of the page.
#Trumps ramp walk full
Oh, and while I’ve tried to capture tone and inflection as best I can here, I would also encourage you to watch the full excerpt from Mr Trump’s speech. I present to you, without further comment, the most powerful man on the planet talking about that time people filmed him walking slowly down a ramp. In this case, however, I thought it was worth transcribing Mr Trump’s entire monologue, because breaking it up would rob it of its full effect. Politician delivers borderline incoherent stream of consciousness reporter picks out the important bits you get to move on with your life. Usually, we would chop up Mr Trump’s monologue into a few short, easily digestible quotes, because that is how the news generally works. I say that because, as mentioned, he spent a quarter of an hour venting about it at today’s rally. Yet it seems to have been weighing heavily on Mr Trump’s mind. In any case, after that response from the President, the whole, ridiculous “Trump walked slowly down a ramp” thing appeared to be behind us. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. The last thing I was going to do is âfallâ for the Fake News to have fun with. The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery.
