Donald Trump made a journey to a famous senior residence in Florida today, The Villages, with the stated intent of talking about senior issues. He abandoned that goal and went straight into Catskills comic. For what it’s worth, read the Meidas Touch rundown of today’s fiasco and get a glimpse into what’s left of Trump’s “mind.”
… Trump gave a campaign speech today to a group of senior citizens at The Villages in FL, which many longtime Floridians refer to as ‘God’s Waiting Room’. Trump’s advance team blasted ‘Live and Let Die’ from the speakers before he took the stage. The speech was supposed to be about how much he has done for seniors:
- He started off ranting about the venue: “You pay these guys a lot of money and then you get up in the mic isn’t on properly. I don’t believe in paying people to do a bad job. I’m screaming my ass off because the mic is no good. Turn the mic up!”
- “I don’t happen to be a senior. I’m a much younger man than you. Look at you old guys. Wouldn’t you like to be my age? I’m young, vital, vibrant. I’m much, much younger than the people in this room.”
- Trump on Dr. Oz: “We have a man here who knows more about Medicaid, Medicare, medical crap than any human being. It’s the most boring trip I’ve ever made. He’s telling me about Medicare, Medicaid.”
… He was dying to get the hell out there to his golf tournament in Miami. He could care less about any of this.
- He said anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam: “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he’s got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you’re stuck with a man who’s a moron.”
… That would be bad if that ever happened. God forbid.
- “I took 3 of them. I’m the only president to take a cognitive test. I don’t think Obama could pass it. Didn’t he get into Harvard with a C average? The first question is a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. A lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those questions.”
- “These are tough questions. They say take a number, any number. I say ok, 99. Multiply it by 9. Divide it by 3. Add 4293. Divide by 2. Subtract 93. Divide by 9. What is your answer? I got it right. It was actually more complex than that.”
- On the Iran War: “The radical left, they say we’re not winning. It’s unbelievable. Actually, I believe it’s treasonous. If you want to know the truth, it’s treasonous.”
Trump is capable of doing fourth grade arithmetic, are you not impressed? He didn’t say whether he was allowed the use of a calculator or not — or if he did this mathematical marvel in his head. I doubt if this is a true story simply because cognitive tests are for the purpose of determining whether somebody is lucid or not, and able to reason simply in the world, far more than whether they can work with simple figures. Be that as it may, Trump clearly doesn’t have any interest in senior citizens and that message got delivered loud and clear.
‘You know who’ appears to have a degree of frontotemporal decay, and it seems to be gaining momentum, exemplified by how it’s disinhibiting his reptilian and base pathological narcissistic tendencies, and so, unfortunately it could very well get worse.
Thanks, Ursula. I got a lot of laughs out of that one!!!
