The 29 most cringe-worthy lines from Donald Trump's hyper-political speech to the Boy Scouts

THE MAN IS OUT. OF. HIS. FUCKING. MIND.


Washington (CNN)On Monday night, President Donald Trump jetted to West Virginia to address the annual Boy Scout Jamboree. And oh what a speech it was!

Trump ranged from the current health care bill to stories of a bygone time in New York history to his Electoral College victory in 2016. It was a Trumpian tour de force -- one sure to cheer his supporters but leave the rest of the country wondering what, exactly, he is doing and thinking.

I went through the speech and picked out the 29 oddest, cringiest lines -- no easy task given the sheer strangeness of Trump's speech.

Here they are -- in the rough order Trump said them.

1. "Boy, you have a lot of people here. The press will say it's about 200 people. It looks like about 45,000 people. You set a record today. You set a record."


.....and on and on and on....

"Gag Me with a Spoon." That's a beautiful phrase that you haven't heard much in a while. But you're going to be saying "Gag me with a spoon" now. Believe me.

...with appropriate artwork. Unfortunately, the people it's aimed at are mostly too dense to get the joke.

This insistence that unnamed others are banning "Merry Christmas " is anti-Semitic.

Whether he himself has that attitude or just tosses it out as a crowd pleaser to the Deplorables is unknown. Not that it matters much.

about cursing or letting other people curse around their kids. Certainly the president should not be casually cursing when giving a speech to kids in his official capacity, especially when the organization is supposedly all about teaching therm to be upright, honorable, and civil!

Are crowds who will lap his bile up like a penis extension to him?
