And as soon as I read that, I remembered. Four decades is a long time…

I’m putting this [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1436403482027984&set=a.340141354987541) in the Schadenfreude thread because it’s about Mr. Potato Head being interrupted multiple time in Kansas. Since it’s aFB post, I assume copyright is not violated if I post the full text for people who are unable to access FB. I have added spaces between the short paragraphs.

> So Trump’s rally tonight was in Wichita, Kansas. As always, I watched his speech so you wouldn’t have to. You’re welcome.
> 
> Two minutes after he started speaking tonight, protesters were shouting him down. As soon as the first one was thrown out there were two more. Trump said, “I can tell by the sound of their voices that they’re paid protesters.”
> 
> By the 4th time protesters interrupted him, Trump decided to just keep talking over them. The crowd was booing and Trump just kept talking.
> 
> “Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed. He’s a fake doctor. By the way, if he were using those credentials as a Republican, he would have been run out of the country by now.” (El-Sayed graduated with an M.D. from Columbia and a Ph.D. in public health from Oxford. Trump is full of shit.)
> 
> The Dumocrats are all for “transgender for everybody—your son Timmy comes home 5 days later from school as Sarah, and you don’t even know about it, and people smile.” (It’s remarkable to me that anyone, even a MAGA, would believe this shit.)
> 
> And then there was more heckling and a few more protesters thrown out. This is the 5th interruption from protesters.
> 
> “These protesters get paid $250 and then I have them arrested and they ruin their whole lives.” (Arrested for what?? Shouting truth at a Trump rally gets you arrested??)  
> He said he knows more about Christianity than anybody: “I have the all time in history Christian vote. I know more than anybody.” (I will never understand how any Christian could support this man. He is the devil. Seriously evil.)
> 
> And for the 6th time tonight he had to wait for a protester to be escorted out.  
> Trump read a bunch of nonsense about Adam Hamilton, the Dem running for Senate in Kansas. He called Hamilton “strange” and a “pervert.” (Hamilton is a pastor, btw.) “Supposedly he’s a pastor. Yeah right. If he was a Christian he would be voting for us. He’s not a pastor. He’s a pervert.” (President Pervert Hoover calling someone else a pervert is really rich. And it’s laughable that he’s deciding who is a Christian.)
> 
> “Roger Marshall was mandated by law to request money owed from patients. You have to by law go after those people, and they made it like he was some kind of a Shylock type guy, I don’t know if I should be saying it.” (That’s bullshit. Marshal went after people for $100 unpaid bills. He charged people nearly 20% interest on the bills. And he had at least 81 patients arrested because they couldn’t afford their Dr. bills. The guy is a scumbag, just like Trump.)
> 
> More protesters. That makes 7 interruptions.
> 
> “I say oftentimes nobody appreciates what I did. I feel very sad. I will never turn down applause. Nobody appreciates how great a president I am. How sad!” (Awww. Poor Pookie can’t get any respect. How sad for him. LOL.)
> 
> “I’m the fricking president!” (He’s just dying to drop an F-bomb. This is the 3rd time tonight that he’s said fricking. He wants to say fuck so bad.)
> 
> “I love doing this crap. I love it. It’s a little boring. But that’s okay.” (Wow he just told 2 truths…one, that his rallies are crap…and two, that his schtick is boring. Good job Saggy Yam Tits.)
> 
> “All these handsome guys, they look like they’re always great looking, these 4 star guys. I don’t know if they get the job by their look. But there are these 3 beautiful guys standing in front of me.” (He just can’t help himself. He’s very obsessed with good looking men lately. The bunny boiler is gonna be so jealous.)
> 
> “I took a cognitive test twice…(30 seconds later)…I got a perfect score all 3 times!” (The stable genius can’t even keep track of how many tests he took.)
> 
> The rest of tonight’s speech was just the usual bullshit. (Yawn.)
> 
> I don’t know if it was hot in the arena or he’s just sweaty from all of his magic meds. But he was sweating like a pig. He was also kinda hyper tonight. Very manic. They have him pumped full of something.
> 
> The best thing about his speech tonight was that he had to stop 7 times for protesters. Bravo Kansas!
> 
> I’ve attached a picture of one of them getting thrown out. Several of them gave Trump a double fingered salute on their way out.
> 
> Overall it was another shit show. I don’t see how he can keep this up for 2 more weeks. His head is surely going to fall off. Here’s hoping.
> 
> Now I’m going to go bleach my brain. And I’m going to wash the bad taste in my mouth away with some fruit. Fermented fruit.
> 
> Have a great night! And if you want to share a malbec or coffee with me, here’s a link.
> 
> Cheers!
> 
> Also, fuck Trump.

Loved it. “Saggy yam tits.” “Fermented fruit.”

But what made me laugh out loud was from Trump himself: "I took a cognitive test twice…(30 seconds later)…I got a perfect score all 3 times!”

In fairness, “twice” is a particularly obscure word. We can’t expect a President to know what ‘number of times’ it means!

We all know that when something happens “once,” it happens one time. When it happens “twice,” it happens two times. We can also say that “thrice” applies when something happens three times.

Y’all are just idiots. How do you think he took the test three times if he didn’t first take it twice? It’s literally impossible to take it three times but not twice. Checkmate, losers!

“And the Lord spake, saying, ‘First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.’”

Trump thinks he deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his writing.

What???

> “But I didn’t get the Nobel Prize. I didn’t get the Pulitzer. I should have gotten a Pulitzer for writing, too. The people that got it shouldn’t have gotten it, you know? They got a Pulitzer Prize for their accurate and wonderful writing on the subject of Russia, Russia, Russia,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina on Wednesday while speaking about [Stephen Hubbard,](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/putin-witkoff-us-citizen-release_n_6ad88657e4b0ba084e1377a6) the recently released retired American teacher who had been held captive in Russia since 2022.
