ramble

It seemed that allegations of frailty and inability to lead did not stick to Trump — who might ramble and give odd answers but typically sounded forceful and self-assured.

Inspired by Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble shows in Woodstock, Terrapin Crossroads featured many informal jam sessions headed by Lesh, who often played with his now grown sons as the Terrapin Family Band; he also brought incarnations of Phil Lesh and Friends to the venue.

They noted, among other things, Trump’s tendency to “ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances.”

But, no objective observer could describe such a life as a "ramble".

But, more often, he presented it as "a chapter of accidents" and "a diverting and enjoyable ramble through life".
