Trump vows to utilize "my great and unmatched wisdom" as the Turkey situation unfolds.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...

....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!

i think he's got miller up there helping him with his phrasing. nobody else that i can think of besides trump himself would have come up with that. and it's too literate to be trump talking all by himself. so that's what we pay miller for, to pump up trump and help him write this self-evidently ravings of a lunatic.

Trump is obviously not playing with a full deck. Sure, Rubio and Graham will say Trump was joking. They can't very well say anything else and then vote to keep him in office at his impeachment trial. But what will they do when Trump, himself, comes out and says, no, he wasn't joking at all. Without Sean Insanity and National Hate Radio to back him up, even the most hardline Trumpanzees might start to waver....

"your favorite president, me," "your greatest president, me," "a very stable genius," and all his other grandiose, bragging claims make him look ridiculous, not impressive, and turn him into a complete laughingstock?

It implies that his helpers have given up trying to filter out the cray cray, leaving a message that (like most Dotard drivel) is to reality and logic what sunken R'lyeh is to architecture and geometry.
