Clearly he’s dictating these posts into a phone with less than ideal speech recognition and he’s not bothering to proofread even a smidgen. Assuming he can read at all.

I get txts like that all the time from friends who are confused about when you should talk (hint: during a phone call) and when you should type (hint: during a text message session).

If you weren’t blocking Twitter you would see that those are video clips of him saying those things live at a rally, not tweets…

I do have to take issue with one of the clips–it is claimed that he said “illegal adlinthin” when it is obvious he said “illegal adlinerthin”.

I searched ‘adlinerthin’, but I didn’t see what it is.

Trump “quoting” Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg: “Never fight uphill me boys, never fight uphill…wow.”

Just remember, no matter how many demented babblings Trump racks up, it’s Biden who’s old and confused.

Hey, it isn’t so much a matter of Biden isn’t as sharp as he was 20 years ago as it is that Trump was never as sharp as Biden is currently. Trump is a rich buffoon from a messed up family. His father was no prize either.

But don’t take it if you’re allergic to Adlinerthin.

“As your doctor^, I advise you to take all the Adlinerthin in your house, dump it in the nearest toilet, add a pint of bleach and flush three times.”

^In the broadest Internet sense, of course, which invokes no legal liability or actual personal health relationship. Adlinerthin may cause scrofula or pustulous nasal chancres . Adlinerthin is not compatible with political stability. Do not use Adlinerthin if pulsatile, ambulatory, corybantic, containing bones, polydactyl or distantly related to anything Australopithecus.

However, if trumpophilitic, take all you want! There’s no such thing as an overdose of Adlinerthin!!1

Relistening to these, I noticed something else–he says that the US Seal company was “one of the greatest companies in world”. I listened several times, the “the” is definitely skipped.
