This guy turned Donald Trump’s weird speech patterns into a full album

Donald Trump is losing it. At 79, he’s not coherent more than half the time with his “weave,” mispronunciations, weirdly erratic tangents, and increasing issues with finding the right words. The man is a demented word salad.

Martin Gordon (a former bassist for Sparks) is a British musician based in Berlin. He found a way to turn Trump’s speech patterns into music. In fact, he has a whole album of such songs entitled His Mother was a Woman, which will be available September 25.

His label, Radiant Future, says this: “The album demonstrates Gordon’s pioneering compositional method that transforms the unpredictable speech patterns of US President Donald Trump into complex musical structures that break free from traditional 4/4 time signatures.”

(Sidebar: He’s got a thing about 4/4 time.)

I can’t wait. Until then, though, here’s an example of what Martin has done in the past.
