Trump, mid-rally, goes off on a tangent on what a great turkey his mother made for Thanksgiving. Said it took eight hours to cook and was "the greatest turkey you'd ever have." Unclear why he is talking about his mother's turkey.

You know that turkey in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"? Yeah, that would happen.

Besides, wasn't his mother Scottish?

Edited to say I just realized that turkey was referenced above, and with video!

... Trump’s behaviour becomes every time the noose gets pulled tighter around his neck, how far are we from Spanky slowly descending the White House steps, waving his tiny hands around while saying, “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. Mueller”?

it was so dry it cut the top of your mouth when you ate it.

She cooked corn on the cob and pasta noodles for 45 minutes.

Now that I think of it, it wasn't such a bad way to get out of cooking for us all. We never went there after a time.
