President Donald Trump’s inability to string together two words to make sense has in turn gifted America the necessary superpower to understand what the president really means behind the garbled sentences, grammatical errors, or fake boasts that are saying something else entirely. Which is the case this time as the POTUS has opened up his 100 days as the president for the second.
There is a lot Trump has accomplished in the 100 days of his istration this time – tanking the economy, violating federal laws and constitutional provisions, alienating key allies, targeting diversity, and a long list of chaos. So, naturally, Trump got all emotional while answering how his first term as president differs from his second during his interview with The Atlantic.
“The first time, I had two things to do — run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys. And the second time, I run the country and the world.”
Ahmm, you see, this grandiose declaration managed to elicit the only possible reaction from the anti-MAGA Republican Adam Kinzinger.
While Kinzinger is probably still cracking up over Trump’s words, the politician’s justified mirth has kicked off a string of comments diagnosing what is really wrong with the POTUS.
But Kinzinger and many others are forgetting is Trump’s long history of public misspellings. when he brought college football champions “hamberders” or oh, his Freudian slip where he said America needs to “heel” during the Charlottesville violence – people think he meant to say “heal,” but given the kind of leadership styles he openly ires (Vladimir Putin’s for starters), a number of critics didn’t find it far-fetched to believe that he meant what he said and that he wants America to bow down, obey authority, and stop resisting.
So, maybe, when Trump said “I run the country and the world,” all the laughable proclamation lacked was an “i” as in “ruin” not “run.” Makes complete sense, doesn’t it?
Canada, Mexico, and a number of other countries are no longer America’s strongest allies. We have kickstarted a trade war with China which we are not destined to win (that’s why Trump keeps going back on forth on his formerly solid decisions on the tariffs), polls indicate that a majority of Americans believe the economy has worsened under Trump’s leadership, conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza see no peace negotiations as the world laughs at the president for following Russia’s whims, legally questionable mass deportations, and the all over devolving quality of America’s progress. Isn’t that how you “ruin” a country?
