Perhaps the lowest bar for applause ever set

On the glass of water, he indicated his arms were tired from saluting cadets, which he compared to lifting weights, and said he didn’t want to risk getting water on his red tie: “I just saluted. Six hundred times like this.”

He then drank water at his podium in Tulsa, with one hand, and the crowd cheered.

Inspecting the bunker, not entering the church due to insurance issues, ramp was so slippery and steep, and best of all I can’t show you my taxes because they are being audited.

turn those arm muscles into twist blue steel?

If he weren't such menace, he'd just be a joke.

The problem with his new story. he just wanted to wet his lips, not take a drink of water? It was hot and the sun was beating down on him. But the ramp was like an "ice skating rink."

He was also sweating profusely on stage in Tulsa.

I might have trouble walking down a ramp in leather shoes with no handrail. I'm older and afraid to fall.

The problem is, he mocks others. Full stop. His hypocrisy makes us ridicule him. If he were 10, and my son, I'd try to teach him that.

There have been politicians before him who have struggled physically, and democrats don't say a word, because we prefer to engage in policy conversations. This subhuman brings this on himself

That's a schtick that Raygun started.
