Trump talks like a toddler ...

Interestingly, this Ricks comment is EXACTLY the same conversation my wife and I were having about 45 last night during dinner when he came on the TeeVee, carefully enunciating some minimalist inanity -- as if he was so very proud of his latest poopy NOT ending up in his pants ...




It is always a tossup -- whether to simply turn off the sound, because we are now clasically conditioned to revile the mere sound of his wheedling voice ... with the "deer staring into the headlights" fascination with what fresh Hell has he now concocted in the recesses of his fetid brain.

It would be entertaining IF ... it were not so deadly serious in repercussions.

constant repetition and meaningless excessive superlatives adds to what makes him incomprehensible and incoherent.

I think this is why we all respond to his tweets!

We don't have to listen to his voice!

Looking at those two pages, and thinking slightly inappropriately, I am NOT sure I want to see the dialogue on Page 14 ...

And then I read the captions and pretend it's someone making an awkward translation of a foreign despot into English.

It's surprisingly uncanny.

where they can fill in the blanks with their preconceived ideas and prejudices.

The perfect dupes for a con-man.

On TV.

There was one speech (probably more than one) where he said 'very' 10 times in the span of 30 seconds.

It's soul crushing that enough people voted for him that they could steal the election.

It's not surprising that his support is less than 40%, but it's disappointing that it is still as high as it is.

Here is a interview filmed sometime ago. There does seem to be a difference between then and now.
