So this is the biggest gaff any PM has ever made.

Sausages…. hostages how?

Did he not rehearse his speech a few times though? In order to familiarise himself with the content? It shouldn't have been new to him.

I expect his brain just misread the autocue somehow.

He corrected himself straightaway, I bet he wished the floor would open up….

Smirk...

Well it was a banger of a gaffe - let's hope it's not out the frying pan and into the fire grin

When I heard him say it on the news, I actually couldn’t believe my ears. I thought I’d misheard, but I looked at my husband, and I knew I hadn’t.

There's some fabulous clips on Tiktok of the Trump comment.

Well there was, they've moved on now to Keir Starmer and his sausages

MissAdventure Tue 24-Sept-24 23:16:12

It's pretty funky, though. grin

I can think of much bigger gaffes.

This is what I’d call big, a viral gaffe by Trump, it’s all over YouTube.

I fear we've had our chips now...

Oh dear...

MissAdventure Tue 24-Sept-24 23:11:31

Snigger.
Darenth laugh, or that will be deliberately misconstrued.

OldFrill Tue 24-Sept-24 23:08:34

The wurst kind

merlotgran Tue 24-Sept-24 23:07:24

Let’s hope they’re not exploding sausages.

MissAdventure Tue 24-Sept-24 22:57:17

He's probably pacing around repeating "hostages", and checking that yes, everyone did hear his mistake, and he didn't manage to pass it off...

OldFrill Tue 24-Sept-24 22:45:07

When l read it l laughed out loud, quoted it to my husband (who has a completely different sense of humour to me and he laughed out loud too. No malice intended, just a natural reaction to the gaffe. If that's reveling, we revelled.

escaped Tue 24-Sept-24 22:42:12

I know nothing about the conference, I'm out of the country this month, no TV or daily newspaper, so I just picked it up completely out of context.
Not revelling at all, just puzzling! Weird sums it up.

MayBee70 Tue 24-Sept-24 22:37:16

Oh how some of you are revelling in this aren’t you. Pathetic imo.

Allsorts Tue 24-Sept-24 22:31:55

Weird. Not funny at all. Sort of thing you woukd expect from Biden.
