I suspect you’re right—his brain got tangled up between ‘utilize’ and ‘mutilate.’ (According to the process referenced by @DWMarch ).

On the other hand: once he’s made an error, he obviously deliberately repeats it—partly to prove he Makes No Mistakes, and partly because it annoys people.

(We really MUST find a way institute some sort of minimum level of psychological testing for Presidential candidates. Yes, it will probably mean a new Amendment.)

I think you’re misunderestimating him.

This is literally what we have Congress and also the 25th Amendment for.

If that’s not enough, that’s because we (collectively) voted for people who would never use those options. And if we’ve reached that stage in our society, no number of regulations or amendments, no matter how well intentioned, will suffice.

It’s true that W produced his own share of ‘new words.’ However, I’m not sure that he was as aggressive as Donald in **repeating** them. (_Did_ W use “misunderestimating” _after_ it was first ridiculed? I’m thinking ‘no,’ but not sure how to search that.)

I don’t disagree (depressing as it is).

Topic of another thread, but: we allowed being in Congress to be FAR too lucrative. The amount they make as lobbyists dwarfs the salaries they got while in office, and the prospect of those massive payouts keeps them doing as little as possible in Congress (so as to qualify for the big payouts).

Really, really bad system. Possibly the Founders’ biggest failure of imagination was that they couldn’t foresee the rise of the megacorporations (and their wealth and power).

He did attempt some self-deprecation in a later speech by joking “I’ve even invented new words, like ‘misunderestimate’!”…only he fumbled _that_ line and said “…like ‘misunderstand’!” 🤦

W didn’t like to get fooled again.

Seriously though, while anyone can mash two words together while talking, Trump does it with alarming frequency. The media is not nearly as concerned about it as they were about the health of Biden, who sometimes struggled to talk because he has an actual speech impediment.

Yeah, the media is also up in arms about his verbal assaults on women reporters, and the media also lack the guts to call him out. I’m tired of the Shipshewana my country has become.

(That’s my fucking phone auto-correcting me. I’ve never typed that word, and I’m leaving it in. Phone says so. All hail phone.)

All hail our Shipshewana overlords!

Actually that sounds like a name some Black American Mom might bestow upon her adorable baby girl. I personally know a 40ish Shewana, so we’re 2/3rds there already.

Heh. I don’t think I ever heard that.

But, yeah. W may have made errors but he didn’t have that I’LL SHOW YOU quality that leads Donald to grab hold of being criticized for misspeaking and turn it into a life-long vendetta against the world. (In this case, by repeatedly saying ‘mutilization.’)

On that same WrestleMania, Trump took a Stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin.

And Austin gave him props for agreeing to do it.

They are cold blooded murders who back more of the same but damn if they don’t have Donny Demento pegged. And NO, they aren’t signing any “peace” agreement at Don’s birthday party.

Motorcycle stunt jumping happened Saturday at the White House as part of the UFC events. Supposedly thousands attended but it didn’t seem to get much attention. And what’s with the backdrop of the White House in front of the, you know, White House?
