Default Rambling

When I was younger and applied for jobs I was always concerned that I tended to ramble and drift off topic when asked a question.

President Trump has taken my affliction to a whole new level. Here's a transcript of when he's asked by Sean Hannity of Fox News what his priorities are for the next 4 years.

Hannity: "If you hear in 131 days from now, at some point in the night or early morning: 'We can now project Donald J. Trump has been re-elected the 45th president of the United States'—let's talk," said Hannity. "What's at stake in this election as you compare and contrast, and what are your top priority items for a second term?"


Trump: Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s a very important meaning. I never did this before—I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington I think 17 times, all of the sudden, I'm the president of the United States. You know the story, I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our First Lady and I say, 'This is great.' But I didn't know very many people in Washington, it wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like you know an idiot like Bolton, all he wanted to do is drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to kill people.

He makes Boris look articulate.

Every time this cretin opens his mouth, I think surely it can’t get any worse. Then he opens his mouth again and it gets worse. We’re fecked, between him and Bojo the clown, we are well and truly stuffed.

The only thing to remember is these people are puppets, not the puppet masters.

They can spout what they want, but unless it gets passed through their respective Houses/Parliaments it's not going to happen . . .

The US president has a lot more power than our PM.

Pretty much everything in the UK has to go through parliament, or is subject to oversight by parliament. In the US, their president can do quite a lot without getting the rest of the elected officials involved, as has been demonstrated by the orange buffoon.
