Donald Trump can’t say ‘origins’ and it’s a very funny and mildly disturbing watch
You don’t have to be able to say ‘origins’ to be leader of the free world but, you know, it helps.
Unfortunately it’s a test that Donald Trump failed three times in this funny, bizarre and frankly disturbing clip.
Wow — Trump repeatedly mangles the word "origins," on three separate occasions saying "oranges" instead. 😳 pic.twitter.com/EZggYhIAO7

Trump’s like the drunk uncle you immediately regret inviting to Thanksgiving. Just rambling out incoherent nonsense. Here’s Trump today trying to say the word “origins,” and instead he keeps saying the word “oranges.” Over and over and over again. pic.twitter.com/XypcX3pzy2

I thought he was trying to communicate something like “comparing apples to oranges” but…you know…saving words. However, I quickly realized he was trying to say ORIGINS. 😳😳😳

Just the oranges? What about the banana, apples, pineapples, mangos, honey dew melons of the investigatons? The full 300 pages of nutritional deliciousness full of Treason.

It all finally makes sense. All we need to do to understand how we ended up where we are with Trump is to read Darwin's classic, "The Oranges of the Species."

Here it is again, with subtitles.
Is Trump saying ‘origins’ or ‘oranges?’ You decide pic.twitter.com/ENzdGhd64O

Oh, and he also did this.
Trump just said "my father is German, was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany." Fred Trump was born in New York. pic.twitter.com/U6eWYPzjrJ

To conclude …
Donald Trump’s day so far:
– Keeps saying he he wants to know the “oranges” of the Mueller probe
– Falsely claims his dad Fred Trump was born in Germany
– The subpoenas are flying, the Mueller report is coming, and what’s left of Trump’s brain is melting
– It’s still only 5pm— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) April 2, 2019
