Even 'MAGA morons' couldn't make heads or tails of Trump's Vegas rant: ex-lawyer

Former President Donald Trump's estranged one-time attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is amused by his former boss' bizarre rant at his latest rally in Las Vegas, where Trump launched into a confusing tangent about sharks while attacking President Joe Biden's electric vehicle initiatives. "By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately," Trump said. "Do I get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark?"Cohen laid on the mockery during his "Political Beatdown" podcast with Ben Meiselas."I'm shocked that he didn't say he would take off his diaper and throw it at the shark," said Cohen, a key witness in Trump's New York trial that ended last month with Trump convicted on 34 felony charges for falsification of business records. "You know, that's really thinking the right way! Nobody's asked him that."ALSO READ: ‘That's the Kool-Aid’: Republicans triple down on Trump the morning after guilty verdict"What a f--king idiot," he continued. "I mean, is there any other way to describe it? If that's not the stupidest rant that you've ever heard — even the folks that are there, camera left and camera right, are shaking their heads, and I'm talking about these MAGA morons with their mustaches, with their beards, their goatees, the whole nine — they all look exactly the same. It's like the f--king Deliverance. I mean, they're all sitting there shaking their heads like, what the hell is this guy talking about?""I mean, shouldn't he be talking about the economy, border control, then be talking about climate change, maybe, drilling," he continued. "You know, in Nevada, we should be talking about things like wages for servers and stuff like that, there was a big union issue that just came down there. They're not endorsing Trump, they're endorsing Biden. Shouldn't you be talking about things that apply to all of us? Not, whether or not you're going to get eaten by a shark, or electrocuted by a nonexistent boat that operates off of batteries because there's an electrical current? I mean, yeah, he's an idiot."Trump brushed on the issue of wages during the speech as well, proposing off the cuff that waitstaff gratuities should be exempted from taxation — an idea the Culinary Union itself swiftly rejected as nonsense.
