"That's big stuff. That's big stuff. Those are very big phrases, very big words."

[highplainsdem]

From Trump's speech after touring the Civil Rights Museum in Mississippi. His spontaneous remarks after reading part of his speech about the civil rights struggle.

Before that his most enthusiastic comments were about how much the two museums (including the state history museum) cost and how beautiful the buildings are.

And he read Medgar Evers' name as if he'd never seen it before...

6. He couldn't remember "united states". He stumbled a for a while.....

& then just said "god bless america".

Dentures didn't cause that problem. Must be dementia.

10. We can use God Bless America to ruin Trump

Hear me out:

If we can just get it put in his tiny, repeating brain, the brain that makes one association and it’s stuck there forever (e.g., Native American = Liz Warren = Pocohantas).

The SONG “God Bless America” was written by an immigrant. Specifically an ethnically Jewish, atheist immigrant.

After that nugget was inserted, literally every single time he said “God bless America” he would tangent off about immigrants stealing jobs (and probably babies), and Jews & their money skills & Jerusalem (which will be in flames), and atheists destroying Christmas (and probably also stealing babies).

Just because I’m joking doesn’t mean I’m not serious.

11. Trump uses very big words

Big phrases...like a child patting himself on the back for passing the spelling test.

WHAT THE EFFFF????

12. K&R

13. Big phrases, big words

that someone else, I don't know who (looks around him for the perpetrator), wrote. But I persevered! I sounded them out phonetically (thank you Ivanka for getting me that Hooked on Phonics program). I am now a big boy, a very big boy. When I leave this shindig, I will get to eat three scoops of ice cream! I believe that, in order to commemorate the south, I will eat Pralines and Cream ice cream.

14. Guh...
