That's true, Greggery. Mr Trump's water-drinking explanation was a good one. He went into his drinking style, the size of the glass, his experience getting ties dry-cleaned - not cheap, believe me, French silk, and they can never get the stains out, no matter what they say, you end up having to throw them away.

Then there was his ramp-walking explanation, another classic. He had them build a mock-ramp for that, remember? Mr Trump demonstrated his ramp-walking technique (I'm sure he cheated - I bet he had rubber put on his soles). The fakers would love to see him trip, no? Great ratings.

Mr Trump remembers a time when the media respected their president, now the fake news just want a gotcha moment, so sad. The crowd booed. Some people love their president, right?

The crowd cheered. They want to make America great again.

We all do, Greggery. We want to see America become strong again - no more getting ripped off by the shithole countries, it's so unfair. America gives and gives, always helping everybody out, well what about America? Shouldn't they get something too? Mr Trump wanted to build a golf course in Scotland, you wouldn't believe all the crap he had to go through. Approvals for this and that, taxes, everybody with their hands out, and all because he wanted to do something great, give something back.

Mr Trump helps people all the time. He built two Trump Towers in Turkey. Istanbul, a great city, great people. He was going to build one in Moscow too, maybe Riadh. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

If the Europeans and the shithole countries want something out of America, they're going to have to give something back, it's that simple. Want Uncle to kick out your terrorists, give up the oil. Show some respect. Mr Trump turned his back on the Kurds so he could send the troops into Saudi Arabia. Their king gave him a gold medallion. Nice son too, him and Jared get on well. What did the Kurds ever do for Mr Trump?

Look, Mr Trump would have spent a bit longer at his brother's funeral, but he had to get back to Bedminster. He's running a golf course, you know - and a country.

He doesn't have time to stand around talking about losers.

So true.  So true.

Still, it would be nice to know what Mr Trump's brother died from.

Strangely enough, nobody ever said.

I wonder why.

Anyone found a cause of death yet?

I'm curious.

What did you die of, before you came back as a turd? Nobody disclosed it yet. How did you metamorphose into stuck fecal matter?
I'm  curious.

Sure. I studied you, old boy. The more ridiculous Mr Trump became, the more you outed yourself as a Trump man. It took a few years, but you've finally liberated yourself and come out.

But I'm curious. What was it? Not the Muslim ban, not the good and bad people on both sides, not the 156 miles of steel slats after a six week government shutdown, not even the "perfect call".

No, it was recent. Something drew you out. Was it the disinfectant, the heat and light, the cleaning?

What did it? What made you finally come out and sign up?

Health and death      
In June 2020, Trump reportedly spent a week in intensive care at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.[23] On August 14, 2020, the White House announced that he had again been hospitalized, and that his brother, the president, would visit him. President Trump visited him that day, later stating that Robert was very ill and was "having a hard time".[24][25] Robert Trump died at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan the following day, August 15, 2020, at age 71; the cause of death has not been disclosed. The New York Times quoted a family friend as saying that Trump had recently started experiencing intracerebral hemorrhaging after a fall.[2] Mary Trump, in an interview with Greenpeace a few days before his death, said that Robert had been sick and hospitalized "a couple of times in the last three months."[26]

In a written statement, Donald Trump said "He was not just my brother, he was my best friend."[2][27] A funeral service was held for Robert in the East Room attended by 150 guests. This was the first time in almost a century that a president had held a funeral in the East Room. White House officials stated that all expenses would be privately paid by President Trump.[22]
