How are your gills doing? Not your girls, your gills? What? You don’t have gills because only fish have gills? Well, how about your photosynthesis, then? How’s that working out for you today? Oh…you have to be a plant to do that? Never mind. Sheesh, you’re no fun at all. Now if you think that I’m exaggerating, you just listen to what came out of Donald Trump’s mouth today. He’s not making a lot of sense. He stands there and rambles to a dead quiet audience and that’s death. Any public speaker will tell you that. If you’re not connecting, then you’re just a talking head at the front of the room and the rest of the room is looking at their phones, fantasizing, paying attention to anything but you. This speech is so nutty it will put you in mind of when the year was 1776 and the “Continental Army manned the air and took over the airports.” Remember that doozy?
Trump on the US military: "We don't have any ammunition."

I love this next one. We’re going to have a “space National Guard” to accompany Space Force. “We were getting destroyed in space,” Trump tells us. The Klingnons maybe? Or the Romulans?
Trump has now veered off his prepared remarks and is delivering one of his endless rally rants to his National Guard audience

Now in all truth, if this guy showed up at your place of business to interview for a job, would you be impressed? Because it sounds to me like the man is half asleep, bored, going through the motions. What any employer wants in an employee is enthusiasm. And this guy is asking 330 million of us, collectively, for the best job that we have to offer. I wouldn’t want somebody this comatose emptying a waste basket. Here’s how it *wound down.*
Here's 2 minutes of Trump ranting in Detroit while his audience literally does not make a sound. He could be speaking to an empty room. He has put his fans to sleep. pic.twitter.com/aLCnYovWig

That’s your lesson for today, class. We have no ammo, not like before when it was coming out of gills that we definitely don’t have. But Space Force is there, which is good, because we were getting destroyed in space. But now we’ll just send in the Space National Guard when things start to get out of hand. My theory is that Trump knows he’s losing, at least on a subconscious level and he’s just given up.
This is just so utterly bizarre.
🤣🤣🤣 OMG!! Trump sure had their number! Whoever the hell they are that he’s talking about?! And, I’m glad he found that dusty old bill from 1900…WTF?! 🤪 Because that Jefferson guy is the most universally-hated Ameeican founder and THEY wanted to destroy his monument!! Where the hell are the guys with the nets and straitjackets?! 🤬🤬
Cue up the song: “they’re coming to take me away haha hoho hehe…to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time”.
I daresay no sane person would allow their children to be alone in a room with this lunatic.
Is the Capitol building not a monument? 10 years for each insurrectionist who ‘touched’ it, then. More for those who ‘touched’ Capitol Police officers and/or smeared feces in the halls.
Since mentioning them broke the audience out of its stupor, expect the Space Force National Guard to be paraded out many more times. Now on the bingo card.
