What is this even supposed to mean?
Donald Trump has never been what you’d call over eloquent or even particularly coherent. But he used to sorta kinda make sense sometimes. Lately, with everything going wrong for him and his cognitive abilities seemingly failing, Trump is making less sense every time he opens his mouth.
Take, for instance, this whacked out Trump tweet:
Another one of many Fake T.V. Ads, this one about the Tennessee Valley Authority, which for years has paid its top executive a ridiculous FORTUNE. Not run by the U.S., but I have long been fighting that crazy “salary” & its polices. Strange ad paid for (?) by “U.S. Tech Workers”.

What? I mean, just… what? The sentence structure feels like it’s something straight out of an online translator or something. And it’s particularly odd that Trump is accusing some TV ad of being “strange” in a tweet that’s too strange to even parse. As if that weren’t enough, Trump retweeted his own tweet just minutes after he tweeted it. Why? He surely has no idea.
