Trump also reportedly
<https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1015008691270057989> boasted during his
speech that he had "broken Elton John records" for attendance "and I don't
have a musical instrument." He added, "This is the only instrument: the
mouth ... More important than the mouth is the brain."

Snopes also carried this quote

"Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only
musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right?
The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much
more important."
