‘No, I’m Not Rambling!’ Trump Tries To Explain Constant Riffing About Hannibal Lecter During Rally

Former President Donald Trump told a rally crowd “No, I’m not rambling!” as he tried to explain his frequent riffs about fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter .

Trump rallies are known for certain recurring themes, among them a steady stream of bizarre asides on topics like marbles, whales, and the perils of electric vehicles. And for a few months now, fans have come to expect the occasional rant about Hannibal Lecter.

Those rants have included the claim that the entirely fictional gourmet cannibal “said on television” that he “loves Donald Trump!”:

DONALD TRUMP: Has anybody seen Silence of the Lambs ? Hannibal Lecter. How great an actor was he? You know why I like him? Because he said on television on an — one of the — “I love Donald Trump!”

So I love him! I love him!

Trump held a rally in Florida Tuesday night during which he complained that his Lecter rants have been characterized as “rambling” when they are really not:

Under the Biden border disaster other countries are emptying out their prison, their jails, filling out their mental institutions.

And I go a step further. You know what an insane asylum is, right?? Did anyone ever see the movie Silence of the Lambs? Did you ever hear of Hannibal Lecter, who’s a lovely man?

He would love to have you for dinner. He will take you. Many people forget it. Well, yeah, we have a lot of people coming in. They always say, “Oh, that’s terrible for Trump to say! He is rambling about Hannibal Lecter!”

No I’m not rambling! That’s what–. We are allowing people from safe asylums and mental institutions into our country by the tens of thousands, and they’re closing down the country.

And, you know, the cost savings, of all of the savings?

And sending bloodthirsty terrorists, savage gang members and child predators into the United States to prey on our people, to prey on you, to prey on everybody.
