TACO makes claims at the Summer Soiree [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Trump was had a get together at the White House on Wednesday called the "Summer Soiree." He spoke from what's called the Truman Balcony. It didn't take long before he said something that made my jaw drop.

Trump: ... that's what you are, you're patriots. We've never done this before. You know that, right? They didn't do it. The previous administration wouldn't have thought of doing it, but we're going to do it for another 4 more years, I don't know, maybe eight more years, I don't know. But we love you all.

It was the eight years comment that got me. He's still really thinking about it.

Trump: We won everything you and can win. And now we have a successful country. Doesn't it feel different? Different, so different. So many people say, go away.

I have no idea what he meant by the "go away." Maybe his brain just fubared.

Trump: And all over the world, they say it feels different. The whole world feels different.

Trump: So I want to thank you all and very particularly, you have some good food there. I know a certain place serves our food and I think you're liking it. I like it, but I think you're liking it a lot. I want to express my gratitude to just about all of my members in the cabinet who are here.

Trump did a McDonald's ad. But instead of "lovin' it," it's "you're liking it." Who in his cabinet that was there was left out of his gratitude?

Trump: They are here in great numbers. I didn't know what they were saying. They said, I'll see you tonight, I'll see you tonight and I've been so busy between Iran, Russia, China and every other problem we were left, that I'm saying what the hell is happening tonight?

I don't know, Donald. What the hell is happening? First you said you didn't know what they were saying, and then you say they were saying I'll see you tonight. Which is it? Once again, Joe Biden gets blamed for the problems that Trump has to deal with. It's like he expects the world to be perfect when he gets into office. Well it was almost perfect in the United States, and that didn't last for long.

Trump: Julian Nicklaus. Where is Julian? Where are you Julian? Are you out there someplace? I think so. Where is Julian? Where? Oh, look at him. Oh, is that --- wow, good. You ever hear of the great Jack Nicklaus? This is his grandson, right? I immediately said, get him on board because he's got great genes.

Eugenics. Trump is still into the Nazi experiments. With Arnold Palmer it was just a body part.

Trump: I wish I could play golf like Jack Nicklaus, it just didn't work out that way. But 6 months ago we had a nation that was as cold as ice. The whole world was laughing at us and they're not laughing anymore, that I can tell you.

Don't you just love his transitions from one thought to another? There aren't any. The last time he talked about 6 months was that the nation was dead. Now it's as cold as ice. And no, the world doesn't laugh at us anymore, they're laughing at you.

Trump: Now, because of the people we have here tonight, we have the hottest, most talked about country anywhere in the world.

With climate change, we might become the hottest country in the world. They are certainly talking about the United States a lot because you're in the process of screwing up the world permanently.

Trump: I went to the Middle East. I want to Qatar, Saudi Arabia. We went to UAE. We went to three stops. We brought back $5.1 trillion. Think of that, $5.1 trillion. They ordered massive amounts of military equipment, regular equipment, 200 Boeing aircraft, and we got one free for the nation.

Trump did not bring back $5.1 trillion. The Arabs were talking about investing. It's not like the money is in a bank. Well, it is, theirs. And it's going to be there a long time. The 200 Boeing aircraft replaced a different model that they canceled orders on. It's not like they were really buying 200 more than they were before.

Trump: You've been hearing that. The United States Air Force got one for free. I say, I'd like one because we need it as Air Force One until the other ones are done. And they said, we would be pleased to give you, so they gave us a Boeing 747 for the United States Air Force and every --- it's just incredible. The press picked it up and they said, he got a plane.

Last anyone heard was that the deal was on hold because Qatar wanted an agreement about the nature of the plane's transfer. The press picked it up. I would like to see them pick up an entire Boeing 747 airplane. They would be champion weightlifters.

Trump: I didn't get a plane, they got the plane, but that's the way it is. You're going to get to know, as you deal with the fake news, and then eventually you'll get to love them, maybe. I doubt it.

Sure, we all love the fake news. That's how we know what's really going on.

Trump: We were doing a great job and we had one of the most successful --- that was one of the most successful terms ever. Then we had a little problem where they rigged an election and then we came back. And this is bigger, better, stronger than ever before. This one is far bigger than it would have been.

The last sentence makes no sense. This is not a new thing with Trump. But, he still has to rail on and on about the 2020 election.

Trump: In a single month, we dropped the trade deficit by 50%. Do you believe that one? You don't hear that too much on the news. They don't tell you those things.

That 50% drop might be possible because we weren't doing any trade anymore because of the tariffs, on again, off again, on again. That's why you got the nickname TACO. Basically, with the tariffs, the businesses across the United States shut down and held their breath. No sales, no trade.

Trump: We have the best numbers --- think of that, the best numbers in a short period of time in modern history. And that's something I'm very proud of.

Numbers about what? Numbers of what? Whatever they are, they're the best.

Trump: I want to thank the great chief of staff, most powerful woman anywhere in the world, they say. She got the most powerful woman in the world. One phone call and a group of people, I better not say it. I was going to say, one phone call and a country is wiped out, but we're not going to say that because we're a peace-loving nation.

I'm really glad to hear that one phone call can wipe out a country. And it's not even the president, it's Susie Wiles, his chief of staff. Pretty creepy.

Trump: This would have been a country --- we were a country in shambles and now we are a country that is just in love with itself, in love with its people and everybody's talking about it.

With protests against Trump all across the country, it's hard to say that we are a country in love with itself. We're fighting to keep the country we knew alive. Everything Trump touches is the kiss of death and we don't want it to happen to the United States.

Trump: We're going to work harder than any president has ever worked... Thank you very much, everybody. Have a good time. Don't eat too much.

Words to live by. Don't eat too much. Best numbers. Death by phone call. This was a short speech. I hate going through hour and a half ones. It's enough to curdle your brain.

Trump's good time didn't last long as he and Elon Musk got into a shooting match that isn't over. The Epstein files claim Elon made about Trump, Donald has already refuted, stating that he was never on Epstein's plane or island. No one knows if that's true. More to come, I'm sure.
