Indeed. That way lies madness and Red Text. Of course, the text is actually white, on a red background. Funny how the name ... well, anyway, let's not and just say we did.

Perhaps he already tried that by having people set a small fire in a church across the road, so he could stand there fondling a Bible after violently dispersing the American citizens that were legally gathering there.

Much as I despise Trump, you know if he gets assassinated that millions of his angry fans are gonna be rioting, bombing federal buildings, chasing down and beating or even lynching mexicans, arabs and black people and burning books. The murder of Donald Trump would cause untold violence and suffering in the United States, worse than what is currently happening.

And of course there's the die hard White Nationalists who will say the Jews were behind it and will bomb synagogues during high holidays. As i said, hope that Trump survives his presidency.

"The closest thing is in 1917, they say, the great pandemic. It certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people, probably ended the Second World War," Trump said. "All the soldiers were sick. That was a terrible situation."

Absolutely wild that he got the rough estimates for the death toll of the Spanish Flu correct and then mixes up his World Wars.

Saying second instead of first honestly is not that big a deal.
Sure, it is a senior citizen moment, but at least there indeed was a big world war going on then. Trump has said sillier things. Many of them.

Yeah, he slipped up on his wars there. I'm also concerned at his lack of nationalism: America won WWI didn't it?

Since I do not see much difference between Biden and Trump, that is fine by me :p

He's living up to all my jokes about his ignorance and lying rewriting history. Pretty soon he'll say the Titanic was the worst post-9/11 disaster or he'll say the Civil War ended when Lincoln used chlorine gas against Atlanta.

Well, the first world war ended in november 2018; so there miiiight be a relation.
True, it is stretched, but as said - it is not the dumbest and most farfetched thing Trump ever said.

In late 1918 what was left of the German Army on the West was running for its life with the Entente in hot pursuit across Belgium so...

He didn't even catch himself? No realization it was actually the first world War?

It's one thing to slip up. It's another to slip up and keep going, while also getting the year of the Spanish flu wrong (1918 was the year and not 1917).

Well no, that would be the time he said windmill noises cause people to get cancer, or when he said Hurricane Florence was the wettest we ever saw from the standpoint of water.
