he probably just saw the blonde and thought about his poor daughter, barefoot on the sand. besieged by peasants with garden tools.

on the other hand, would a royal bastard really surprise anyone? the only surprise would be acknowledgement from the royal swine.

We need to stop chasing low-effort clickbait memes. When we push stories that are easily disproven, we lose the right to call out MAGA for doing the exact same thing.

Online content creators and commenter like samjeffreyphillips4 and mdg650hawk are smart enough to understand context, but choosing to promote an absurd conspiracy theory over a bad sentence fragment undercuts our credibility.

We have a mountain of actual evidence regarding Trump's genuine confusion and mental decline. We do not need to invent fake instances.Anyone looking at this objectively can see it is a poorly written, ambiguous sentence fragment.

The woman in the photo is Margo Catsimatidis. Her daughter is Andrea Catsimatidis, the chairwoman of the Manhattan Republican Party and a major Trump supporter.

Trump clearly meant that Margo has a "great daughter," or he was shorthand-praising Andrea via a photo of her mother. He was too lazy to type out a coherent sentence, which is standard for him.

Let's stick to the real gaffes and the REAL evidence of his diminished capacity instead of chasing internet memes that make us look irrational.

To say that it is what he probably meant is also borderline defensible given how bizarre any other explanation would have to be.

But to say that it is what "Trump clearly meant" is laughable overstatement. There is nothing clear about it. It is, of course, the explanation currently being offered by the Trumpies, but that's neither here nor there, I suppose.

The entire media is already doing enough of that.
