I just saw part of a video where the melon felon is talking about “_ **Bagram Air Base** in Alaska_”. Seriously, why hasn’t anyone sent him for a 72-hour mental psychiatric hold?

“If I have a little bit of property on the ocean, I have a little bit more property.” No, your little bit of property disappears you stupid fuck.

No No, don’t you see? His properties are inland a little ways, so rising sea levels will turn _his_ properties into valuable ocean front property. Screw the other guys that got washed away, they don’t do anything for him.

Should he be reelected (God Forbid!) and has access to nuclear missiles, we should pay attention to him buying a lot of worthless land in central California. He once saw a movie where a brilliant man named Lex Luthor thought to use a nuke on the San Andreas fault to make most of California fall into the ocean so his properties will be the new shore. Personally, I’d love to live in Otisburg.

Renowned climate scientist Dr. Donald J. Trump, Stable Genius™, informs us that ocean levels will rise one-eighth of an inch in 400 years. He neglects, however, to cite his published research to support that claim. I don’t suppose he really needs to, though, because he has solidly reliable sources, generally referred to as “they”, as in “they say”.

“They” also figure in the Orange Imbecile’s delusions of imaginary conversations, as we see here. It’s generally in the form of “they asked me …” and “I said …”, which is intended to convey both the slack-jawed ignorance of his admiring acolytes, and the brilliant enlightenment that the Orange Imbecile apparently bestows upon them.

I’m reminded of Hbomberguy’s rebuttal to Ben Shapiro when he said something similar;

I’ll give him some credit - he’s not wrong.

But he doesn’t mention the next 1/8 inch. And the one after that. And several dozen after that.

No need for him to cite. The _they_ he’s talking to automatically believe him when hey says the _they_ he says he’s quoting said something.

Coming soon to a theater near you…

_highlighting his achievements as a highly decorated scholar_  
Purple Heart in fact!  
_a world-class businessman_  
Yes, those bankruptcies are getting up there.  
_a man of faith_  
One of the two original Corinthians!  
_a devoted patriot_  
Captain Bone spurs.  
_a loving family man_  
With many families!  
_and a generous individual_  
Now they’re just being silly.
