On Wednesday, I sang the praises of Barack Obama. I also included a few quotations that would give a proper sense of the man in his own words. Being fair-minded and in the interests of political balance, I thought it only right and proper that I should give Number 47 the same opportunity. So here, in his own words, I give you Donald John Trump:-

I can't; stupid irks me.
ReplyDeleteYeah - but would you hit on it?
DeleteWhere's my barf bag???
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me - I haven't got it Deb!
DeleteA satirical contrast highlighting political balance with sharp irony and Trump’s self-described genius persona.
ReplyDeleteYou got it exactly Asep.
DeleteI think these words of DJ will be carved in history's stone ...
ReplyDeleteHopefully not on Mount Rushmore.
DeleteHmmm....
ReplyDeleteYeah, you hum it, I'll play it!
DeleteYe gods!!
ReplyDeleteIs that because you appreciate his stunning handsomeness?
DeleteI'm wondering just what those doctors meant when they said "That's an unbelievable thing, rarely does anyone do what you just did." I'm guessing it was the most spectacular fail they had ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLies come as easily to Trump as breathing does to most other living people.
DeleteThe funny thing is though. The world has taken a step back from Trump, turned their backs on him and gone on same as usual. He is not making a good impression at all. You would think his wife would tell him!!! But then look at all those evil Republicans who have been planning these last four years to make America jump through the hoops and then maybe Caesar comes to mind?
ReplyDeleteTrump rarely sees Melodrama - his convenient "wife" figure.
DeleteThese are hard times for comedians in the parody genre.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to parody - that's for sure.
DeleteActually I was thinking the opposite. In certain cases it must be almost impossible to outtrump the original speaker...
Delete...and this from a man who walks into walls? I'll bet it cost him megbucks for the doctors to say that - or maybe they were talking about someone else!
ReplyDeleteWith all that sweet talk - do you fancy him Carol?
DeleteGroan!
ReplyDeleteOn the toilet again David?
DeleteDonald makes up these little scenarios all the time and they always involve men who say, "Sir, sir! How did you do that sir?" Or, "Sir, sir! No one's ever said that sir!"
ReplyDeleteIt's just another part of his narcissistic insanity.
Did he ever grow up?
DeleteHe's the Boris Johnson of American politics. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteFortunately Bozo Johnson's power was restrained by parliament and law. With Satan Trump there seem to be no reins whatsoever.
DeleteNail head hit!
DeleteIt makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteHere Ellen - a white linen handkerchief being teleported to you this instant.
DeleteUgh. It's hard to read even for humor's sake. By the way, you forgot "Covfefe."
ReplyDeleteCovfefe - the famous drug that paves the way for early onset dementia.
DeleteMy fellow Canadian English teachers and I sometimes put his quotes on the smartboard to help teach high-schoolers how not to use language.
ReplyDeleteBigly covefe DB!
DeleteHe was banging on again bout transgender chickens again yesterday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting interview with Jacinda Ardern in today’s Grauniad if you haven’t already read. I initially typed Jann Arden! Person, woman, man, camera , TV…nope I’m okay
What did she have to say Traveller? I doubt that she would have been banging on about transgender chickens. Besides - what does it matter if a chicken wishes to identify as transgender?
DeleteTransgenic Vs transgender
DeleteI think yesterday's highlight was Trump re-posting something about Biden dying and being replaced by a robot. And this man has the nuclear codes. And is destroying our lives. But the racists love him, so here we are. I'm like Ellen above; it makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteA walking, talking disaster who doesn't know what he's going to say until after he's said it - difficult, that.
