Talk Is Cheap

But None Cheaper Than This

Reporter: Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage? Is there anything that could stop you is you wanted to…

Trump: Yeah, there one thing, my own morality, my own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop. And that’s very good.

There are a few problems with this exchange…well, with one side of it.

Dear Don:

First of all, that’s two things. Nice cognitive. You really should think before you speak. Think for a week or two and then shut the fuck up. Back to the two things. You never had the first one, and never even considered thinking about having morality. I’m guessing you don’t actually know what that is. The second, whatever small amount you might have previously possessed has been deteriorating and withering away rapidly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Hey, dumbass, you awake? To quote the late, great Mose Allison, “Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime.”

Hmmm, good idea for a song…
