Everyone piles on after illiterate drug addled Donald Trump makes words “cought” and “forrest”
How obvious is it that Donald Trump’s behavior is being affected by the powerful dexamethasone steroid that he’s taking to try to survive the coronavirus in his lungs? Everyone from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to his own White House advisers, are calling him out for it. So far this morning Trump has been rage tweeting almost nonstop – and now he’s making up new words.
For instance, Trump tweeted this all caps debacle: “NOW THAT THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GOT CAUGHT COLD IN THE (NON) FRIENDLY TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT, IN FACT, THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN AND WENT FOR A COUP, WE ARE ENTITLED TO ASK THE VOTERS FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE!”
Well, that was his second try. The first time around he spelled it “cought.” What does that even mean? Is it supposed to be some combination of cough and caught? Is this a confession about how he got coronavirus? Then Trump tweeted something about “Forrest fires,” setting off an entire round of Forrest Gump memes across social media. Trump’s behavior keeps growing more disturbing – but he’s roughly as illiterate as ever.
