One of Trump's peeps should let him know that when he discovers a brand new word, he maybe

should be sure he understands what the word means before he sprinkles it into his daily word salad.

Today, the morally bankrupt illiterate used the word "dastardly" in describing our possible response to the drone attacks on Saudi oil resources. "There may be a dastardly response---" and "We may do dastardly things---" in response.

Dictionaries define "dastardly" as follows: "cowardly; characterized by underhandedness or treachery; wicked and cruel".

Really? That's the image we want to project?

If the man had a brain he'd take it out and play with it.

But at this stage in his descent into dementia, he grasps at the sound of the intended word, and whatever comes out, he goes with.
