1. I think he just handed Stephen Colbert a follow up book.

2. Must be

one of the 'little guys who think they have a great boat"....is one of his enemies or friends who isn't one anymore.

3. WTF does that even mean?

Little boats??????

[dawg day]

4. Verbal diarrhea

It's not even clear that he has a purpose for making these things up. He just... makes them up. Just because he can.

And the Trumpists there in Texas, who KNOW he's just making things up-- something that makes them look like idiots ("little boats in a hurricane&quot -- they just nod and cheer, because the diarrhea is falling out of THAT mouth.

6. Didn't he do this a few weeks ago? I mean, this is not the first time he's said this, right?

Didn't he go off on this riff earlier? I don't have the patience anymore to look it up.

I'm not dissing your post, but I think this is turning into one of his themes, not just a one-time brain salad dropping.

7. You should go with them next time, Donnie. nt

8. Is he digging at the volunteers

in the Cajun Navy and other organizations like that who actually do rescue people trapped by the flooding?

Why can't we make campaign ads of this stupid crap?

9. Did that F**kA** just insult the "Cajun Navy"??

in all its locations?

13. Well, Seemingly Unnoticed

he insulted the Reserves last week when he said that if the "caravan" tried to get into the United States he would get the military involved, "not the Reserves, the United States military..." I was surprised that didn't hit the fan.

15. This was similar to a statement he made earlier in the year.

Op-eds in the Houston Chronicle excoriated him for it. Here's a link to a Politifact article on it.
