Our nation’s poet has offered us another glimpse of his special genius. This time he has chosen a nature theme. > Where there’s so much water, you don’t know what to do with it. > > You know, it’s called rain. > > It rains a lot in certain places. > > But uhhh, no. > > Their idea. You know. > > Did you see the other day, they just put, I opened it up and they closed it again. > > I opened it. > > They close it. > > Washing machines to wash your dishes. > > There’s a problem. They don’t want you to have any water. > > They want no water. Donald J. Trump, poet June 22, 2024 ---

Continuing on the theme of nature. > And the fake news they go, he told this crazy story with electric. > > It’s actually not crazy. > > It’s sort of a smart story, right? > > Sort of like, you know, it’s like the snake, it’s a smart when you, you figure what you’re leaving in, right? > > You’re bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right? > > The snake and the snake. > > I tell that and they do the same thing.

Even more nature reflections. This time with sharks. > Joe Bride, this guy is the worst. > > The worst president in the history of our country will be a fading … nightmare. > > He will be a fading a … > > I have fading memory. > > Joe Biden is forming, granting mass, think of … > > My life could have been so simple. > > I could have had two hundred lawyers less, so simple. > > I would have had a beautiful life - but this is a beautiful life.

As near as I can remember, the OP is literally a transcript of the idiot’s actual words. It was featured on a YouTube clip where Fox News cut him off in mid-sentence because it was just getting embarrassing. No one knows what the hell he was talking about, or what it was that he opened, and “they” immediately closed. I suspect that worry over his growing legal problems has got him completely unhinged. ---

That’s why Trump could never be a Doper. The minute a poster asks, “Cite, please,” he’d be stuck. “Well, many people. English professors at the best schools, you know. Plus may other ordinary people; they say it makes absolute sense. The only people it bamboozles are those like Kamala. Her immigration platform …” “Forget Kamala Harris. Name those English professors and those schools. Cite, please.” He wouldn’t last five minutes here.
