Trump even mocked George HW Bush for his "thousand points of light" rhetoric

Tweet from CNN's Jeff Zeleny, minutes ago:






In Montana, Trump takes a strange swipe at @GeorgeHWBush: “Thousand points of light. What does that mean? I know one thing. Make America Great Again we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that?”



The list of things Trump "never quite got" has to be endless.

I hope the Bushes respond to this swipe.

When did it cease being great? The Trump loyalists want to return America to when exactly???

Before a black man was elected President? Before reproductive rights? Before civil rights? Before the women's right to vote? Before labor laws? Before the abolishment of slavery? When?????

as it did not follow in any way for what he was ranting about before he said it — just suddenly “what the hell does that even mean?” It was bizarre — also, he was slurring his words again. He is such a transparent fraud — slurring blatantly false statements and barely pretending to care about the people there (he did his usual “we won [insert state here] because you love me so much” but it is SO fake)

But “a thousand points of light” is far more eloquent than anything that Trump has farted out of his own mouth in his 72 years on earth.

Long ago Trump bargained his soul to the devil in return for the US Presidency. Now that Trump is president the devil is keeping his part of the bargain, stealing Trump's soul one bit at a time causing Trump to lose awareness of himself and reality.

When HW said that. I didn't vote for him, but never really spoke against him. Gulf War One seemed to find most folks here on the same side. Holy shit, what happened? Fucking Russian trolls influence how the under educated vote now! White nationalists are treating people like shit cause they can! WTF!!! I'm Fucking Tired of This BULLSHIT. I hope there.is Hell, cause our Moron in Chief will knock the fucking bottom out of it.

Why does he have to go back and make fun of an aging ex-president? That is just so low.
