Quote of the Week...from Donald Trump

Listen to those incredible people back there.  These people are so amazing, and what they don't realize is that, I'm holding them up because of this interview. But that's because it's you.
                                                                       ---Donald Trump.

You need to know the above quote's context to understand its meaning.  President Trump was in France yesterday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Allies' D-Day invasion of France during World War II to liberate it from Hitler's Nazi regime.  He was at the site of the ceremony, where hundreds of veterans were attending, and while awaiting the arrival of French president Macron by helicopter was giving a TV interview to FoxNews' Laura Ingraham.  It was to her that he made his comment, and she felt the need to stress at the airing of the taped interview that he hadn't caused any delay and that their cue to end the interview was the sound of Macron's approaching helicopter...I'm referring to an article by Justin Baragona for The Beast, reprinted on the MSN newsfeed, for this information.  As it was, the French president was late enough to give them the time to finish their interview, and Trump was there waiting for him when he arrived.  I'm making the point about this quote because it so clearly exemplifies Donald Trump's penchant for making up things and spewing them out as he goes along, without weighing their truth value or the effects his careless words might have on others or himself.  His 2016 late-campaign rhetoric praising WikiLeaks for publishing stolen Democratic Party e-mails, as well as his off-the-cuff comments at different times to interviewer Lester Holt and the Russian ambassador regarding why he fired FBI director James Comey...all matters increasing suspicion that he was colluding with the Russians...fit this foolish behavioral pattern of his, in my opinion.  All Trump cares about, when he goes running his mouth off like this, is to make an impact on the listeners and get more publicity and he does not try to think ahead to the consequences of his words.  Between him and the cringe-worthy campaign speeches being delivered by current Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden, this is going to be one very long, tedious campaign season...
