Trump: "I want that whole wall to be electrocuted, and sir, you never said that, they came to me..."



5.) Trump goes on a bonkers monologue about reports that he wanted to build an alligator-infested moat along the Southern border.

The president also attacked reporters who claimed that he demanded that the government construct a moat filled with predatory animals to ward off undocumented immigrants.

“They said President Trump started screaming, ranting, raving that on the southern border, where we are right now building a tremendous wall, it is unbelievable what is going up, army engineers, we are doing a lot, we will soon have over 100 miles under construction completed, and we will end up with 400 or 500 miles,” Trump said. “[The reporters said] that I wanted not a wall, but I wanted a moat, whatever it is, a moat, and in the moat, I wanted alligators and snakes, and I wanted the wall to be a fence, and I wanted to be electrified, and I wanted sharp spikes at the top, so it would go piercing through their skin is somewhat the way they said it, skin piercing spikes. But I want that whole wall to be electrocuted, and sir, you never said that, they came to me, the comms people yesterday, and they said did you say this? I said, why are you asking that stupid question? Because the fake news media is saying that you said this in a book. “

....what struck me in that bizarre presser? Was how much he reveals in his stories. So...a staff member had to ask IF HE said that - ROFL. Can you imagine an Obama staffer wondering if Obama had said something so stupid? They wouldn't - they'd dismiss it. The Trump staff thinks he's capable of being that stupid and Trump sharing that story...reveals that he probably did.

Who came to you and asked about your unhinged rant from March? Simple question. Who brought this to your attention? And will the people who were present that day back you up under oath?

He looks like a raving lunatic. With everything he had said publicly and everything he has tweeted, it is believable.

15. I want a moat

And I want a solid stone wall.

And I want the oathkeepers - great people, those oathkeepers - on the battlements on those walls.

And those patriotic men will be armed to toasters. Plugged in toasters, with long extension cords. And when they see brown people in the moat, they turn on the toasters and maybe some hairdryers maybe even a 13 inch black and white tv like the 13 inch black and white tv in my kitchen when i was growing up and then we got the first 13 inch color television that was ever sold and that replaced the 13 inch black and white television and anyway I am going to command that American companies begin making 13 inch black and white televsions you know with those old tube things in the back the cathoday tubes and the oathkeepers are going have thousands of these black and white televisions they don't have to be 13 inch they could be larger or smaller but they have to be plugged in and when the oathkeepers on the battlements they'll be the best battlements the perfect battlements better than any battlements obama would have built if he could even build battlements and those oathkeepers when they see brown people in the moat they will throw the toasters or the hairdryers and the 13 inch televisions into the moot to electrify the illegal mexicans i never said anything about spikes fake news.
