Every so often, this orange tin dementia god with feet of clay does something we can laugh at, as opposed to what the f*%# is he doing this time. And this is funny! Everyone watching had to have thought, “huh?” We all know how he weaves around when speaking in public (and probably in private, too. How many times do they have to ask him to repeat himself?) Okay, I thought it was funny. With gratitude to Raw Story:
People had sharp reactions Monday after President Donald Trump dropped a confusing remark during a Medal of Honor speech in Washington, D.C. Trump spoke during the ceremony — his first time speaking live publicly since the U.S. and Israel initiated military strikes in Iran — amid growing questions about the conflict and his health. “Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra,” Trump said, which was shared in a video by journalist Aaron Rupar.
What was that supposed to mean? Suggestions? Terra is often used to refer to Earth in science fiction and fantasy books, but since Trump doesn’t read, we don’t know how he learned the word. It seems he was trying to speak proudly about the gentleman and couldn’t decide which words to use. For Trump to be proud of someone besides himself is impressive! Unfortunately for him, it will only distract from Epstein and the Iran war for maybe a day at most. But at least he actually honored someone.
Media experts and researchers were in awe of the president’s comments. //// “We all luv 2 kill & die 4 a special guy whose brain is a perfect glistening sphere of plaque and grease,” Pat Blanchfield, writer and Associate Faculty at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research, wrote on X. //// “Someone wrap grandpa in a white blanket (the kind with the buckles) and take him back to his nice, soft room,” photographer Diana Rivera wrote on X.
Sounds good to us! Then we won’t have to listen to him anymore, at least for a short time. And if they wrap him in the blanket with the buckles, he can’t do his usual oh dark hundred rants on his phone. As a random side note, what kind of phone does he have?
“????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????” MS NOW host and media personality Rachel Maddow wrote on Bluesky. //// “Ok but seriously why did he say ‘Terra?’ the man doesn’t watch TV that isn’t about him, he doesn’t read books – where did this word enter his lexicon?” Researcher Craig Johnson wrote on Bluesky. //// “Time for the home,” activist Randy Samples wrote on Bluesky.
Oops. I should have read the entire article before commenting. Mr. Johnson said exactly what I was theorizing. But the comment that made me laugh the most was Rachel Maddow’s. It’s great not only for the question marks, but for how many there were! Yes indeed, another day, another Trump word stumble. It’s good to have something to laugh about when everything else is going to hell in a handbasket.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
