It’s Trump; words don’t _mean_ things, they’re just tools to manipulate people.

I love that.

D.O.D.O. is another great nickname.

At the next meeting, when catering is mentioned, someone should say to Trump, “Let’s order some extra refreshments!”

Well if that’s true, then he can’t run again. Because maximum two consecutive terms.

That’s not why, it is this specific language in the 22nd Amendment:

> No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

Literally the opening of the amendment itself. Two consecutive terms and all that are immaterial.

And also, it doesn’t say he can’t _run_, but rather he can’t be “elected”.

He did love the red, white, and blue. Right there on stage. And now you know why he wears those neckties hanging down to his knees.

Not only that, but _no_ rules apply to the Hand of God.

The tiny, tiny Hand of God.

Fair enough. I stand corrected (you don’t hear that on the Interwebs too often!). 🤠

I picked a nit so small there that you’d need a microscope to see it. 😛

What he meant at the time – I think – was that it was pretty new for ordinary people to be throwing around the term “supply chain,” because everyone pretty much takes it for granted when it’s working smoothly.

But people were no longer taking it for granted, because during Trump’s administration it was _not_ working smoothly.

That wasn’t his fault, for the most part, but it’s asinine for him to take credit for it working when the whole reason people were talking about it was that it _wasn’t_.

Sudden thought: I wonder if he keeps a clipping service. If so I wonder if they keep all the bad stuff at the bottom of the daily pile, keeping only print outs from Faux News and OAN(ism) on top, knowing he’ll never get very far down.

It would certainly explain why he thinks everybody loves him.

And you think HE had heard the term, “supply chain” before then? He doesn’t even know how to pronounce it. It’s a nebulous term that he heard someone smarter than him use and now he’s going to glom onto it like he knows what he’s talking about.
