My posted Trump quote was mistaken as me getting sideways on pain meds

My Facebook friends know I am having severe back and neck problems (which are getting better). So when I posted Trump's ode to Elton John, organs, and brains from his Montana debacle (below), my friends thought it was me getting crazy on pain meds. I didn't use quotation marks, so you have to read though the Trump quote to see that it's Trump talking and not me. My friends were concerned for me.

I was concerned for your well being as I was reading this. It wasn't until about 3/4 of the way through that I heard his voice. I'm glad YOU are okay.

I thought, my goodness, this is odd for Fred. He said his back was out ... pain meds?

Hahaha!!i agree with you z ____. I did the same thing! I was thinking wtf has gone wrong with fred?!!??!!!!

I know! At first I was saying’ what’s wrong with Fred’??? It’s shameful and scary that this kind of brain is ‘leading ‘ our country.

At first I was picturing you throwing Elton John records at a wall, because you were jealous that Elton has an organ and you don't!


I am glad my friends are watching out for me. It's sad that a quote from our president was interpreted as an off-the-rails drug episode.

I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important. - President Donald Trump, Great Falls, Montana, 7/5/2018

When all they get in return is a bunch of word salad interspersed with him bragging about himself.

I honestly don’t understand how they don’t realize he’s just a narcissistic id. Surely there are more articulate racists they could idolize... why do they stick with him? Fox, I guess.
