Oh, mercy, this two-year-old in a man’s body with dementia. And this is our president??!! We’re at 103 days. Just a few months in, and I’m wondering every. damn. day, if the country is going to survive through 4 years. He puts his foot in his mouth up to the knee every time he speaks publicly about something, no matter what it is. From Huffpost via Yahoo News:
During a NewsNation town hall, ESPN host and potential 2028 presidential hopeful Stephen A. Smith asked Trump, who called in to the event, to explain his administration’s threat to withhold funding to the institution, partly in protest of its so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
But Trump responded with comments about the New York neighborhood of Harlem, which was once considered the capital of Black America. Trump said: “We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem, and frankly, if you look at what’s gone on, and people from Harlem went up and they protested, Stephen. And they protested very strongly against Harvard. They happened to be on my side. You know, I got a very high Black vote. You know that. Very, very high Black vote. It was a very great compliment.”
Trump weaved and rambled a little bit more before actually referencing the university by appearing to claim that Black people “agree with what I’m doing with respect to Harvard.”
You see? He has no idea what he’s talking about. He can’t keep a single thought in his head, and he can’t stay on topic. The only thing he’s good for is for someone to keep a running tally, and even write a book (hmmmm) about the inane things he says every day and how it’s proof that the man is losing it.
The best part is the comments on social media. I’m sorry I haven’t yet figured out how to put tweets in yet. But! I can copy them and show them to you, anyhow. So that’s something, and you can still enjoy them!
“This man’s brain is cooked.” “What the hell is this? Our president’s brain is mashed potatoes.” “But then at the end he segues to Harvard—after an aide obviously put a HARVARD NOT HARLEM note in front of him.” “He literally conflated Harvard with Harlem.” “Trump somehow hallucinated that people in Harlem rioted to support his crackdown on Harvard?!? Took me twice to get that he had mixed up Harvard and Harlem bc it’s that stupid” “I just learned that Black people in Harlem completely agree with Trump’s policy on Harvard, and they all love Trump. Steven A really kicking ass at this whole politics thing too.” “So weird” “phone interviews with bad reception combined with a dramatic weave. The looks on the faces of the hosts says it all
Indeed, it does! I watched the clip multiple times just to get to that point and see it again. It just got funnier with every repetition! I wish I could show you that clip. One of these days, I’ll figure it out. I hope you enjoy the hilarious comments! Thanks for sticking with me!
*****And now, please be so kind as to read a very special request from our awesome boss******
Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. It’s been an especially rough month, and my own health has not been great these past few weeks, which just adds to the frustration. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula
I can’t watch NewsNation anymore. It’s a pro-Trump network pretending to be “objective.” No thanks.
I look for my news online “in print”. I don’t know how to put news stations up on my computer, so I make do. I had forgotten about that network, and I’m now glad I did!
