ICYMI here are five bizarre moments from the president's two-hour long speech at CPAC 2019

President Donald Trump once again referenced unverifiable statistics about immigration court proceedings during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday — one of many false or misleading statements that came during the commander-in-chief's blustery and lengthy spiel.

According to available data, the number is considerably higher. A report from the Department of Justice from the 2016-2017 fiscal year shows the rate at which migrants show up for court hearings hovers around 72 percent. When looking only at asylum seekers, the rate jumps to 89 percent. "The vast majority of individuals who in recent years were released on bond as a result of their custody hearing before an immigration judge turned up for their court case," a report from Syracuse stated.

He also invoked the percentage during a June 2018 anniversary celebration for the National Federation of Independent Businesses, telling the audience that"like three percent come back," according to White House transcripts of the meeting.

Wow! There he is, the crybaby that we were first exposed to...

This is our president.. Yay.

It is official. Trump is insane.

Dang, he just sounds NUTS! I mean , seriously, he just sounds completely loony!

Makes me believe he really is 1-term.

HRC was so right about the basket of Deplorables!

Trump's is the WTF Presidency: every day the world doesn't end should be seen as a blessing. How on earth does GOP NOT intervene to STOP this level of Crazy Unfitness and Corruption?

Sounds like a drunk in a bar . . . jibber, jabber, jibber. Talk on, and on, about nothing, as long as there is an audience.

USSA! USSA!

I love my President!

Wow!

Look like Gospel preacher!

This is the mentality of the Trump base. He represents his peers and he is relatable to his voters. There is no language barrier when he speaks to his crowds. He is completely with them on all levels.

Yet people still support this babbling dolt. He's like a crazy homeless man standing on a street corner yelling at a piece of cheese.

A conspiracy between Russia & Trump campaign? Did POTUS obstruct justice in the ensuing investigation & make illegal campaign contributions? Are there inappropriate relationships between the Trump Administration & foreign govts.? The answer is hiding in plain sight & it is yes!

Bizarre? He was right on the money

Trump makes it sound like money laundering is a crime.

Sad. Just pathetically sad. He's a clown, just as I've always referred to him. He's a clown. Right now he's a nervous clown that's unhinged, because he knows the end is near.

OMG! How the hell can he lie like that. More to the point, how can anyone believe a word he says.

25th amendment or a fucking straight Jacket please!

Under any other circumstance, these would be considered the ramblings of a senile man..but as he is the President of the US not only does he get away with it... it has become a legitimate agenda...very scary with echoes of darker historical times!

this guy certainly took too many drugs on his flight back from caving to North Korea

Really? Only 5

Truth telling is bizarre in your Orwellian maze I am sure

Where are they getting all those birth control pills from When did the number of pills you take matter
