look at the 5th line down.. "........unprecedently and historically successful trip this was by an incredible leader and an amazing man who has done extraordinary things......"

No one is this illiterate except ...Trump himself......no one..he said it, and didn't want to be quoted..so..that is how it comes out to the public.....again..........

.....no one repeats the ideas like this, except Trump...an illiterate person does...who is the illiterate person in this administration?.......
TRUMP IS......

and........Trump is the only one...who would refer to Trump as..."an incredible leader & amazing man"...it is too much..overboard. His staff would not go there. So the press had to quote, "senior official"..to cover up..

I recall once a few years ago, Obama was traveling somewhere, ..and they wanted to keep it a secret till he showed up. It was some kind of positive dedication of a library or town hall or such...So, the local press was told that the White House had decided to send..."a senior administration official" Yes, Obama showed up, but only 2 or 3 of the top people knew which "senior official was to attend." That is how it is done sometimes...

Several of the words have more than two syllables and that's a run on sentence. He writes and talks in sentence fragments.

One of his lackeys wrote it, probably from Trump U where he attended "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit" 101.

Part of that respect is putting sentences together that are grammatically correct. ..................
that is out of respect for the President himself........and for.. the United States of America...

NO ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD SEND THAT OUT..WHO WORKS FOR TRUMP.. no one.. If you were to work with and at the White House..you would have a grammatically correct sentence. Even if you were speaking for the President, you would........out of respect for him, his position and this country.....

only one person could issue such a stupid, illiterate statement........ very sad...

.....Trump himself......!!!!!!!!!!

"Newspeak contains no negative terms. For example, the only way to express the meaning of “bad” is through the word “ungood.” Something extremely bad is called “doubleplus ungood.”
