'Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, whoosh': Trump describes missile defense in bizarre rant
Donald Trump spoke in New Hampshire the night before polls opened in the first-in-the-nation primary state, and his comments are giving more fodder to those questioning the ex-president's bizarre way of thinking about complex concepts.
In a long, rambling speech, Trump began describing missile defense systems such as the so-called "Iron Dome" in Israel.
"You know these are not muscle guys here," Trump said, pointing to his arm. "They're muscle guys up here," he said, pointing to his brain.

"And they calmly walk to us, and ding, ding, ding, ding, boom, whoosh, boom," Trump continued. "They've only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out. Boop. Okay. Missle launch, shee-boom."
Trump said that he wants his own "Iron Dome" for the United States, which doesn't have missiles being constantly shot at it.
Israel is significantly smaller than the U.S. and adding such a system for the whole of the country would be the largest investment in military spending in history. Even Fox ridiculed the idea.
One of the biggest criminal cases Trump is facing is for taking documents from the White House and refusing to return them. Those documents include those that are governed by nuclear secrets laws.
Six years ago, Vice News observed Trump's knack for using the word "bing" to describe a number of things. The list includes: Using Twitter, pressing buttons, distributing checks, marines shooting, shooting back in the old days, maps, mouths, cleaning up, repairs, a 14-point plan, Anthony Weiner, Trump's opponents, playing football, playing cards, tunnels, rocket ships going backwards, humans being dropped from planes, pumps and puppets.
"Ding" seems to have taken the place of the favorite sound effect.
