7/5/19: Reporters manage to stop Trump outside the White House and pose a few questions. Trump never holds real press conferences because he’d face tough queries and have to offer follow up. Then he’d get logic tangled in hopeless wads and have to start lying again.
What happened with that speech, someone asks, the part where Washington “took over the airports” during the Battle of Yorktown? Well, the president admitted, rain knocked out his teleprompter. (See: 7/4/19.)
(Trump and Fox News used to hate it when Obama used a teleprompter,
and sounded articulate, and spoke in complete
sentences.)
“That’s not a good feeling when you’re standing in front of millions and millions of people,” he added.
Still, he said his memory was sharp as a bone saw, and his speech, it would live forever in the annals of presidential speech-making, like the Gettysburg Address, only way more creative. Luckily, he says, “I knew the speech very well so I was able to do it without a teleprompter. And it was actually hard to look at anyway because of the rain.”
So, the part about Washington taking over the airports was in the original speech? Meaning whoever wrote the speech was a blithering idiot?
And the person delivering it was too dense to realize
immediately, that that couldn’t be right?

ANOTHER REPORTER manages to ask the president if he realizes the Trump Organization has been employing undocumented workers for years?
A way that people did business.
“I don’t know, because I don’t run it,” the president said. “But I would say this: Probably every club in the United States has that because it seems to be, from what I understand, a way that people did business.”
Ironically, Trump was about to board a helicopter for another
trip to his Bedminster, N.J. club, where many of the undocumented worked as
recently as 2018. Once the free press started interviewing workers who admitted
they were in this country illegally – workers who said their employer knew they
had phony papers and even helped them get those phony papers – the Trump
Organization leaped into action. As the president explained, again in
Gibberish, his preferred language, his clubs were now following tougher
standards. “But we’ve ended – whatever they did, we have a very
strict rule that, those rules are very strict [emphasis added, for fun].”

IT TURNS OUT, the president isn’t the only Trump who speaks the Gibberish tongue. Last January, Eric, who, along with Don Jr., now runs the Trump Organization, claimed the fact that all Trump properties seemed to have hired undocumented workers and employed them for years – well, that was a sign that the U.S. immigration system, not the Organization, was messed up.
Eric did want to make clear. He had a heart. True, it was a Trump heart, but a heart with valves and chambers. “I must say, for me personally, this whole thing is truly heartbreaking. Our employees are like family, but when presented with fake documents, an employer has little choice.”
Wait!
Did he just admit there are good people who sneak into this country and don’t want to rape and kill?
What about the monsters of right-wing fever dreams, the drug mules “with calves like cantaloupes?” What about the “animals” crossing illegally so they can join MS-13 and disembowel Americans in MAGA hats? What about the “invaders” his dad always describes: “A lot of young men, strong men. And a lot of men that maybe we don’t want in our country.”
Was Eric admitting there were
actual human beings who came across the border, people who were like “family”
to him?
Let’s give the final word to Victoria
Morales, an undocumented worker from Guatemala. She worked for the Trump
Organization for years, both before the president turned over control to his
sons, and after. “How can the president profess to
not know we were undocumented workers if we have all [now] been fired?” she
said recently. “I cleaned his house. I
cleaned Ivanka’s house. He saw me all the time. I’m sure he figured I didn’t
have papers.”
