It is so easy to figure out when trump* is 'off script'

Here is a perfect example.

At his "rally" yesterday, trump* said "You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden." That sentence, in and of itself, makes absolutely no sense. Happening is the present tense. If it is happening, it is going on contemporaneously with what is being said. If it occurred last night, it isn't "happening". It has 'happened'.

If I am wrong, he needs to hire some literate speech writers. If I am right, trump* is an idiot.
