Today's word salad transcript

... Because AP refused to call it the Gulf of America.

They wrote. They’re not a good outfit, by the way. They call it the Gulf of Mexico ...

Google Maps changed the name. Everybody did, but AP wouldn’t. And then we won in court.

How about that? Isn’t that so cool? As Secretary Hicks has beautifully described, the name change reflects far more than the shift in branding. It’s really a historic reassertion of our purpose and our identity and our pride. That’s when we go with the word war.

And, you know, we want war because we want to have no wars. But you have to be there. And, you know, sometimes you have to do it.

I have settled so many wars since we’re here. We’re here almost nine months, and I’ve settled seven ...

... War is very strange.

You know, you never know what’s going to happen with war. The easiest one of them all is Putin. I said, Number one, it’s a war that would have never happened if I were President, if the election weren’t rigged, and if I were President, that war would have never happened ...

I rebuilt our nuclear, as you probably know, but we’ll upgrade that also and just hope we never have to use it. We have to hope we never have to use it, because the power of that is so incredible. I see things ...

I always put the fire department in because they’re great. They’re great ...

But the firemen go up in ladders, and you have people shooting at them while they’re up in ladders ...

Our firemen are incredible. They’re up in one of these ladders ...

And you have animals shooting at them, shooting bullets at firemen that are way up in death territory. You fall off that ladder, it’s over ...

Yes..I believe they use ladders for shooting and Fireman people are in Death Valley territory with Nuclear.
You know Klartod..We should stop trying to communicate. That is also something about nine months

couldn't get through that bungled group of words. And that's all it was. Just words. It was not a speech. And certainly not a speech that had any deciphering meaning, other than "I am the greatest...". Such bullshit.

I can't believe this man has such a stronghold on "his" people. My sister is one and it has torn our family apart.

I'm going to give it a try again--later, much later. I just need to be prepared to lose that time I will never get back on the foolishness of it. How did we get here. ( no need to answer- rhetorical question)
