Not sure if you’ve heard the news, but the president of the United States is old! Just look at him! That gray hair. Those pronounced forehead furrows. That slight forward tilt when he walks. And he sometimes stutters a bit—perhaps because of the lifelong stuttering problem he’s worked so hard to overcome. But let’s just pretend that’s “an age thing,” too, and he’s cognitively impaired!
Whatever are we going to do about it? Maybe we need a candidate three years younger, who thinks he ran against someone he never ran against, believes World War II is right around the corner, and is certain he can solve California’s seemingly intractable drought problem very easily, even though he didn’t lift a finger to help during the four years he was president.
Or … maybe not. You may have already seen that Donald John Trump gave a “speech” to the California GOP Friday night. And it was bad. Really bad. Even by Trump standards. It was like gaping into a yawning Icelandic hellmouth—or a chupacabra’s eyes as it takes a dump on your lawn.
Take your pick. It defies easy description—perhaps that’s why so few media outlets are bothering to describe it.
