"Will no one rid me of this moron?"

Really. I mean there was this guy Thomas Becket who no one‘s ever heard of, and I made him famous. He’s doing a lot of really good things I hear. At least many people say this. Oh and by the way, who knew that England had nuclear weapons? I mean I heard about their Navy, but no one had any idea they came this far.

OK, I can’t stand it anymore, it’s not even funny. In my wildest dreams I could not imagine that there would be an adult who would speak in this fashion. I have known utter and complete nincompoops, morons, people who despise educated people, people who reject book learning as they call it, people who don’t edit and say anything and everything comes to mind no matter how stupid, racist, or ignorant. But I’ve never heard anyone speak in this fashion. In my career I have treated over 75,000 people in the venues in which I practice, and boy, I thought I seen and heard it all. But never in my life have I witnessed the display of utter idiocy which emanates from the oh-so-weirdly shaped mouth of this miscreant.

As an individual in his late 60s, I witnessed the anti-protester movement, the anti-civil rights movement, the anti-intellectual movement, the anti-choice movement, and of all the people I’ve ever seen interviewed on any issue, I have never witnessed anyone nearly as ill-informed and fundamentally ignorant as this man. It’s positively painful to listen to him, and it makes whoever scripted the Marx brothers films look like a rank amateur.

It’ll make up for that Michael Vick nightmare we went through a few years ago. I knew people who as they say bled Eagle Green, who refused to watch a single moment of an Eagles game because Vick was part of the team.

And we Always need a backup as you know...

How did someone like him manage to get such power? I have heard he is not particularly that brilliant. Just devious. He not only has complete power over his own nation, but now he has complete power over ours. The only way to stop him is to stop Trump.

Just to stay a little truer, and embellish, the words of Henry II. Although some sources say he used the word 'turbulent'. Well, that fits, too.

Finland is not part of Russia and they've fought wars about it. Juneteenth is a very well-known celebration. Health care reform is very difficult. And on and on and on.

I, too, have known some pretty ignorant people, but none were this ignorant and, God help us, none were the president of the United States.
