"The 1st Amendment doesn't cover the media." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald (They can pile it this high) Trump is saying: "I'll tell you, folks, how dishonest the media is. You all know when I wrote that Tweet, I put quotation marks around the words 'wires tapped,' meaning not really. . . . Like just the opposite. . . . So when I wrote tapp my phones without quotation marks in the second tweet, I didn’t need them because they carried over from the first. . . . That's the rule. . . . But the press doesn't tell you that, now does it?




*********************************************************

Above CAPTION attempting to remind us that there was one tweet without quotation marks. Let’s not let the shiny object of the first, let us forget there was another for which Trump has NO explanation:

The tiny "crowd" must have been mystified as to WTF he was trying to say.

But we often try to channel our subject's speech patterns and essence, making them say what they would like to say if they thought they could get away with it, etc.

You all probably got this, but just in case.

I said and I quote to paraphrase, myself. "Obama, why a tap for me?" I used one p, just one. I can spell tap. Obama knows I don't drink, I don't so why install a beer tap in the oval office, why? Blow is SO much better. Clears your nose and allows you to understand Kellyanne Conway. Try it, TRY IT.


Groucho, "Obama wiretapped me."

Chico, "Why a tap, why not a chicken?"

Groucho, "You try to listen to Trump via a chicken and you'll know why a tap. On second thought, he might actually sound better via a chicken."
