"You have to have certain things. You need an extraordinary memory, because you have to come back to where you started. A weave is only good if you can go back," Trump said.

Trump later went on to defend his weaving style, calling it "genius." He acknowledged that some critics may view it as rambling, but he maintained that it is an effective way to communicate his ideas.
"I call it the weave. And some people think it's so genius. But the bad people, what they say is, ‘You know, he was rambling.’ I sat around, but there's no rambling. This is a weave. I call it the weave. Good name… That's another name. We had ‘fake news.’ We came up with lots of names. but the weave is- I think we should make ‘the weave’ a part of that staple," Trump said.
Trump's weaving technique has drawn mixed reactions. Critics argue that it results in disjointed and incoherent speeches. However, supporters view it as a strategic and engaging way to convey messages and maintain audience interest.
Regardless of its merits, Trump's weaving technique has become a hallmark of his communication style. It remains to be seen whether he will employ it in the same way during future speaking engagements, including potential campaign rallies in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.
