Trump's rambling insanity

Trump 6/22/24 at a rally In Pennsylvania:

“No water in your faucets. You ever tried buying a new home and you turn it on? They have restrictors in there. You want to wash your hair. You want to wash your hands. You turn on the water and it goes drip, drip. The soap, you can't get it off your hand. So you keep it running for about ten times longer. You're trying. The worst is your hair. I have this beautiful, luxuriant hair, and I put stuff on. I put it in. Lather. I like lots of lather because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And I lather up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing drip, drip, and you say, 'I'm gonna be here for 45 minutes. What?' They put restrictors and they put them on in places like here 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, now their idea, you know, did you see the other day? They just, I opened it up and they closed it again. I opened it, they close it, washing machines to wash your dishes. There is a problem. They don't want you to have any water. They want no water.”

That, ladies & gentlemen, is the President of the United States.

Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia
https://apnews.com/article/trump-arnold-palmer-closing-arguments-latrobe-pennsylvania-2bea9620c523e531a55259200215284e

“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

The list is long and apparently (R) was all he needed besides asking for stuff and kicking the can all over the place?

Hundreds of orders to sign WRITTEN BY OTHERS with his only input is his comment before/while signing it, that alone, FUBAR AF?

Has felt beyond time to face this monster down at his golf course in huge numbers and force him to flee to any country but this one and NEVER return!

took place, wherein a majority of American went to the polls with "this is our guy" as their lodestone. And, yes - it was extensively covered by the MMM (main stream media).

Point being - the majority of the American people KNOW about this - and don't care. (or, alternatively - don't care enough to vote for another, hugely more qualified, candidate.)

was a woman of mixed race and I don't anticipate seeing a woman president in my lifetime anymore. I'm beginning to believe that there are people out there who would vote for a pillar of salt before they would vote for a woman for president.

Water pressure is a function of the diameter of the pipe. The narrower the pipe the
higher the water pressure.

24. This wasn't rambling insanity at all, but the kind of hyperbolae he uses frustratingly effectively...
Sun Jul 20, 2025, 01:53 PM

...all the time.

And it is hyperbolae in the true sense that it isn't meant to be taken literally, but it tells many people that those tree-hugging liberals are taking away something you like--which is partially rooted in truth since there are many places where water resources need to be carefully managed.

But the sad fact is that this sort of hyperbolic rhetoric has worked for him. And there is not a good converse hyperbolae that would have the same impact, so you don't hear Democrats out there even trying to counter those things really. Comedians may make fun of what he says, but there are lots of people that hear exactly what he wants them to hear--while so many on our side pretend they can't even make sense of it.

like "drip." And they understand what that's like in he shower or at the sink, and they think, "Gee, if this happens to our Lardy Master, a multi-billionaire, it must be everywhere, all the time!"

Th's a big part of The Felon's craftiness: he speaks largely in cartoon images, lke the old "Wordless Workshop" strip in Popular Science. He says nothing, really, but he conveys simple concepts for simple mnds, while the rest of us are going, "Wnat the fuck is he talking about??" He's not talking about anything. He's using simple words to draw "Dick and Jane," and his cult members eat it up.

Meanwhile, of course, water pressure is hardly a matter of national importance, much less anywhere near as widespread as he leads them to believe. But it's one more thing to rile them up, and that's what he wants: "You get 'drip... drip... drip...' and it's the Democrats' fault."

When the town in holding a meeting and the town's people decries the atrocities being committed against then and then says "I'm leaving," Gabby Johnson gets up and gives a speech. After the speech another one of the town leaders stands up and thanks Gabby Johnson for that "authentic frontier gibberish."

In the Orange Turd's case it's authentic MAGrAT gibberish which they eat up.
