Donald Trump spoke with reporters during a meeting with Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R) and Kansas Governor Laura Kelly (D) on Wednesday, and he ran into some problems when he tried to say words. Trump was trying to answer a question from a reporter over why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bungled the rolling out of coronavirus diagnostic tests. It was pretty bad because while other countries had been able to test millions of people, the CDC tested only 1,235 people in the US.
One would think that a man like Trump — who claims to know the best words, and alleged that he would surround himself by the best people — would be able to answer that simple question amid the pandemic. It’s kind of a critical question really because now there are nearly ninety-four thousand Americans who have died from COVID-19.
I admit that I cannot translate this.

PROJECTION: He is SOILED and FOILED. Needs a diaper change and to put an end to this farce he calls a presidency.

Can someone please just throw a net over him and drag him away? This ridiculous nonsense has gone on long enough.

Trump’s non-answer made absolutely no sense. The president just threw out a word salad filled with big-league covfefe that he probably heard about through his friends called the Two Corinthians that live next door to John Barron, who is a friend of John Miller’s — and they hang out together a lot when they grill hamberders.
