Trump about 20 minutes ago

"People from North Carolina helped to dig the Panama Canal."

That was not long after he said that he was nominated for 2 nobel prizes in the past 10 days.

I only watched a total of 10 minutes of Fox.

1. The Fat Slob just won an Ig Nobel Prize

This is the best it gets for the disgusting Infector-in-Chief:

MEDICAL EDUCATION PRIZE [BRAZIL, UK, INDIA, MEXICO, BELARUS, USA, TURKEY, RUSSIA, TURKMENISTAN]
Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the USA, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.

REFERENCE: Numerous news reports.

NOTE: This is the second Ig Nobel Prize awarded to Alexander Lukashenko. In the year 2013, the Ig Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to Alexander Lukashenko, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding.

2. 2 Nobels?

I assume one for Peace and one for Medicine.

3. The workforce for the Panama Canal brought in a lot of

people from the Caribbean. The workers are a big reason why Panama, today, is very diverse.

Paraiso was a little town that was provided for the black workers from the Caribbean. They even had their own cemetery. Culturally, the people were very proud of their heritage and contribution. Though the town was evidence of segregation.

People from North Carolina in Panama around 1903? Probably not.

4. My great-great grandfather dug tunnels for the Underground Railroad.

5. Trump will tell you he knew a guy whose great great grandfather was an engineer

on the Underground Railroad's locomotive. He kept the spotlights going so they could see in the dark.

"You know the Underground Railroad was where they got the idea for the subway. A lot of people are talking about it."
