Trump gets date wrong twice while implying Clinton lacks mental stamina

Source: The Guardian


. . . Addressing a rambunctious crowd in Florida, a crucial swing state, he added: “I watched Hillary today, which was really boring. It’s hard to watch. I have an obligation to watch. Fortunately she never goes on very long because she wants to go home.”

But Trump himself, locked in a grueling campaign, twice made a slip of the tongue. “By the way, is there any place to be that’s better than a Friday night in Florida at a Trump rally? No place.”

A few supporters shouted, “It’s Thursday!”

Later he said: “We joke. It’s Friday night and we’re having fun.” More supporters yelled, “It’s Thursday!” but he appeared to assume it was more cheering.

while Trump was reading a prepared speech looking down constantly to read the printed text.

And the morons in the audience did not get the irony at all.

He can alienate every demographic, our side, his side, young, old, babies, whites, blacks, anybody not orange and the rotten core still supports him. So that's worth celebrating and probably why a Thursday night rally feels, to him, like a Friday night rally.

You idiots in the audience, piss on you! Believe me, this is great!

Hearing Trump double down on the ISIS bull shit and realizing how some of his warped toadies could take it is really scary.

an experiment. Kind of a modern day Milgram sort of thing. The hypothesis being, The right candidate could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and still poll above 40%. They're just working up to it.
