Does he not know more than three adjectives?

Yeah, he’s a babbling idiot who can’t express himself bigly. Yet his flock loudly criticizes the oppositions candidate for ... anything’s?

Just mention what the emperor is wearings and the sycophants come flocking out en Masse, hurling insults and murdering the English language like a Chinese virus in Branson, Missouri’s.

It’s as predictable as laughables, eh?

Seriously...

But, still, how does a man reach his 70s and have such a limited vocabulary? Trump speaks at about 2nd grade level. Originally Posted by Revenant

Getting back to my earlier point about Trump using his limited words in wholly inappropriate contexts, didn't he once describe some missile strike or bombing operation as "beautiful?

War operations are a time for sobriety and measured statements - not admiring the esthetics of killing people. Originally Posted by Revenant

Is he so lacking in empathy and intellect that he does not realize you don't speak about killing Syrians (or whomever) with precision missiles as "beautiful"?

However, he is fighting for things I believe in and significantly improving the judiciary with strict constitutionalist judges to counteract the liberal agenda which is hurting our country.

Ironically, you also murder the English language and refer to a virus in an unapproved manner (Chinese virus) which is widely considered racist by other left wing thought enforcers.

his chapter focused on his golf courses, his apartment in trump tower, decorated in white and gold leaf, and more but most of all on his personality

and yeah, trump was a non-stop salesman of all things trump

in one of his club houses for lunch, "now isn't that the best hamburger ever, its perfect"

on the golf course, "see that hole, its the most beautiful hole, see the water fall, its perfect, best par three ever"

everything trump did in the book was beautiful or perfect or the best according to him

yes, he has pride and has to be what he considers to be the best, and does repeat the same adjectives, an ingrained lifetime habit

but as I told a friend of mine when trump was running early on in the republican primary...... as we relaxed on the roof of his penthouse apartment near the pool in downtown san antonio after a five mile run along the river south

"yes, trump is a braggart, and has pride, and isn't a polished speaker, but that's his strong suit, he is a man of action and his pride wont let him fail, or at least it wont let him just go through the motions, it would be too embarrassing for trump"

the other thing is, despite all his foibles, he is on the right side of just about every issue, maybe not completely, but he doesn't have to be moved too far

and he has tenacity at a time America desperately required tenacity

so what if he repeats himself?

Trump is unravelling – even his supporters can't ignore it now


https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...-ignore-it-now

The president is leaning heavily on sarcasm to excuse a range of blunders, but US conservatives are unimpressed

I don’t know what kind of disinfectant Donald Trump has been injecting, but the man does not appear to be well. The president’s lethal medical musing has turned him into (even more of) a global laughing stock and the widespread ridicule has clearly bruised his fragile ego. While Trump has never been a paradigm of calmness or competence, he has become increasingly irate and erratic in recent days. Now even his diehard supporters seem to be cooling towards him. Is the “very stable genius” starting to unravel?

Let’s start with the president’s weekend tweetstorm, which, even by Trumpian standards, was spectacularly unhinged. On Sunday, Trump lashed out at what he called a “phony story” in the New York Times that claimed he spends his days eating junk food and watching TV. “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see [in the Times] that I am angrily eating a hamberger & Diet Coke in my bedroom,” he tweeted. “People with me are always stunned.” He then deleted the tweet and replaced it with one in which hamburger was spelled correctly. (This was clearly a challenge for him: he has previously misspelled hamburgers “hamberders”.)

It turned out that the hambergers were just an appetiser. A rant about the “Noble” prize, which Trump seems to have confused with the Pulitzer prize, followed. This was subsequently deleted and replaced with a tweet stating it had all been an exercise in sarcasm. He is a master of sarcasm, as we all know.

While none of Trump’s aides seem able to shut down his Twitter account, they are trying to tone down his daily press briefings. Trump didn’t hold a briefing over the weekend as he normally does, while Monday’s event was cancelled and then reinstated. “We like to keep reporters on their toes,” the White House director of strategic communications, Alyssa Farah, tweeted with a winking emoji. She then deleted the tweet – presumably to keep reporters on their toes. Monday’s briefing was notable for the briefness of Trump’s remarks; instead of treating it like a political rally, he ceded the floor to a number of CEOs.

Trump enjoyed a bump in his ratings last month when he stopped downplaying coronavirus and announced a 15-day plan to slow the virus’s spread. During his brief experiment with coherence, 55% of Americans said they approved of the way he was handling the crisis and CNN’s chief political correspondent, Dana Bash, told viewers Trump “is being the kind of leader that people need”.

The tide now seems to have turned. Recent polls show that most Americans are unimpressed with Trump’s handling of the crisis. This includes conservatives: a Siena College poll released on Monday found that 56% of Republican voters in New York say they trust Andrew Cuomo, the state’s Democratic governor, to decide how to reopen the state over Trump. Even Fox News seems to have cooled towards Trumpism; the network has just cut ties with Diamond & Silk, a pair of rightwing social-media stars who have been two of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders, after they promoted conspiracy theories and disinformation.

Perhaps the only people more incompetent than Trump are the ragtag team of sycophants he has surrounded himself with. According to Politico, Trump is leaning heavily on Hope Hicks, who he reportedly calls “Hopey”, to steer him through the coronavirus crisis. Hicks, 31, who was formerly the White House communications director, is one of Trump’s most-trusted aides; according to one tell-all book, her duties used to include steaming his trousers – while he wore them. It turns out Hopey is the mastermind who urged Trump to “act as a frontman” during the crisis instead of deferring to health experts. Now that plan has backfired, Hicks – who officially works under boy genius Jared Kushner – is apparently developing a new strategy for Trump. He had better Hopey this one is a little more effective.

Fortunately, not you.

there is a big difference between misspelling and mistyping, especially in an ipad or phone context, and only agenda driven haters will ignore that

Oh the little Chumpsters want civility and fairplay ?
Your boy Chump is big-time rude,insulting,and name calling.
You don't like turn about ? You like it when he does it.

The reason his language is important is because it is inappropriate for him to be so self-congratulatory and over the top regarding his Perfectness and his Beautifulness and his Wonderfulness when regular people are doing so bad right now and the realities are so different from his Fantasyland.Plus it demonstrates that he is so pre-occupied with His Image and His Performance.

And the mis-spellings when repeated so many times in his post about the "Noble" prizes is not good.It doesn't reflect well on a President.

And his on-camera musings regarding disinfectants is remindful of Jessica Simpson wondering "Is it Chicken or is it Tuna".
