Day of the Sickness

This IS too easy. If one wants to make the twice-impeached and convicted felon Donald Trump sound stupid, all you need to do is just reprint whatever it was he said the day before. Monday it was the "joke" about the holocaust he made to Jewish executives. Tuesday was his claim, "They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail.” 

But both of those sound outright coherent compared to his rambling story or anecdote or whatever the fuck it was about a  boat, a battery, and a shark. The press hasn't really fixated on the remarks so much as social media and late-night talk-show hosts, and Trump attempted to explain the remarks with the following comments:  

"So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, ‘he told this crazy story with electric.’ It’s actually not crazy. It’s sort of a smart story, right? Sort of like, you know, it’s like the snake, it’s a smart when you, you figure what you’re leaving in, right? You’re bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right? The snake and the snake. I tell that and they do the same thing."

I get it. So it's not a rambling story or anecdote or whatever the fuck about a  boat, a battery, and a shark, it's a rambling story or anecdote or whatever the fuck about a  boat, a battery, a shark, and now a snake. It's smart, if I understand him correctly, because he left out the snake in the original version. Do I have that right? If he's in a sinking electric boat, and he has to choose between getting electrocuted by the battery or getting eaten by the shark, it's "smart" to also consider the snake. He knows this because his uncle supposedly taught at MIT. 

Dementia is a sad and debilitating disease. It's even sadder when the victim is surrounded by sycophants who want a share of his money or power and refuse to admit that he has dementia and encourage him to continue on in his delirium. It's saddest of all that this might result in the start of Christo-fascist, autocratic rule, the end of democracy in the United States, and the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.

I weep for America.
