"Go ahead and laugh at Donald Trumps claims that he was foiled by a finicky microphone on Monday night, but I can relate. When I write a bad column, its all my keyboards fault.
The other columnists have reliable keyboards. Im not saying its a conspiracy, but they do. Reach your own conclusions. When one of them taps out a beautiful sentence, a beautiful sentence appears on the computer screen, just the way its supposed to.
When I try to tap out an even more beautiful sentence and my sentences are amazing sentences; you cant believe these sentences I have to press and bang and hunch closer to the desk and bang even harder and still you never know.
The sentence winds up mangled. It lacks a verb. Or it sprouts an adverb (bigly, anyone?) that sounds ridiculous, though Im not. Readers experience a rant where, really, there was eloquent reflection or would have been, if not for my keyboard. A sniffle sneaks into the equation when there wasnt any sniffle at all. Its just a nasty trick of that keyboard. A defective keyboard, which the other columnists dont have."

Yeah, that's Donny..... (my apoologies, Mick--but it fits him.)
