I remember when I heard trump mangle how to pronounce Yosemite. It just shows how his team fails to prepare him for speaking in public. If he really was smart, he’d care that he looks like an idiot when he mispronounces some of these widely used words. Meanwhile, here’s some good schadenfreude.

In Trump’s mind, it’s the rest of the world that has been mispronouncing these words. Remember, he has the best brain and words. Just ask him. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Trump is this close to acting out the scene from _Conan the Barbarian_ where James Earl Jones orders his follower to jump to her death. Funny you should mention that; I just happened to catch the last half or so when it was on some cable channel this morning. I wonder how much James Earl Jones cost them to get to play Thulsa Doom. He certainly made a superb villain. Even that wig couldn’t make him look foolish. ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > I can’t help but think that a lot of those ARE going to vote this time. Yeah… No. The turnout in 2020 was the biggest for a general election in the US since the end of the 19th century, and it was barely 2/3. You think that this year will be more than that? Maybe the biggest turnout in US history? Based on what?! ---
