"You know, they have this new word called
'affordability'!"

Trump's limited vocabulary and desperate need to characterize anything that serves his agenda in superlatives ("beautiful" festoons his self-promotions as if it were a bucket of gold paint slathered indiscriminately) can result in some relentless, tortured syntactical locutions.
Trump has a new word fixation, but it appears he does not fully understand its meaning — and members of his staff seem less-than-reluctant to tell him.
In the last week, Trump, 79, has used the word “excursion” dozens of times to describe his unauthorized war in Iran. He often makes a waving hand motion to describe what he apparently means.

The word “excursion” usually refers to a quick, leisurely vacation, but the president has applied that to describe his deadly war.
Some Trump aids... they believe Trump has confused the term “military incursion,” which is defined as invasion or attack, especially a sudden or brief one, with a “military excursion.”
Sources said that they or their coworkers have used the term “incursion” in front of Trump, which is where he may have picked up the term, but Trump is playing loose with the word’s definition.
“We took a little excursion because we felt we had to, to get rid of some evil, and I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short-term excursion,” Trump said Tuesday from his Doral, Florida resort.
“We did a little excursion, we had to take this couple weeks, few weeks of excursion,” Trump said the next day at a factory in Ohio.
Some officials in the White House said that they are afraid to correct the president on his gaffe, and others said a correction wouldn’t even matter.
“I’m not telling him,” one administration official told Zeteo, implying that correcting Trump would be “a fool’s errand,” and that “doing so would likely get them yelled at.”
Wasn't it William Tecumseh Sherman who famously opined, "An excursion is hell," highlighting the brutal and devastating nature of a seaside picnic?
Presumably, Trump would have dubbed the allied forces landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944 as "a day at the beach."

Yeah, the people around him know better than to offer a discouraging word. Which, as we know, is how authoritarians usually fail.

It's starting to look like our former friends overseas aren't terribly interested in saving has ass in the Strait.

Somebody report this. Thanks.

The pedophile proves himself a a bigger idiot with every passing day
 
Imagine a leisurely conversation with a relatively erudite interlocutor in which Trump is given the opportunity to expatiate on art, literature, music, philosophy, history, etc.

Why imagine? Let us start using Joe Biden or even better, Kammy Harris, and hear THEIR expatiations on art, music, philosophy and literature then just assume it couldn't possibly get any worse than that.

Kammy can tell us how much GHG was produced burning the rubbish while Joe can inform us on how best to plagiarize it.

Desperate diversion inevitable.

You're a dog-faced pony soldier.
Shoot them in the leg.
Come on man, I'm not even joking.
We were the first to defeat Medicare.
