During his press conference announcing new environmental regulation policies Thursday, President Trump seemed to be in a particularly bizarre mood, referring to a “rough neighborhood” around Tehran and at one point talking about the “YMCA” song.
“I don’t want to say that, because other people have their suspicions also. It’s a tragic thing when I see that. It’s a tragic thing. But somebody could have made a mistake on the other side, could have made a mistake,” he said. “It was flying in — not in our system, it has nothing to do with us. It was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake. Some people say it was mechanical. I personally don’t think that’s even a question, personally.”
“I actually had a name. NATO, right? And then you have M-E. Middle East. You’d call it NATOME,” he said. “I said, ‘What a beautiful name.’ NATOME. I’m good at names, right? USMCA. Like the song YMCA. Nobody could remember USMCA. I said, ‘think of the song YMCA.’ Now everybody says it.”
“… it has nothing to do with us.” Bullshit. When you start unprompted hostilities, you can expect not only a response, but mistakes to be made, whether on our side or the other.
One of the sickest in the country but no one dares say it out loud. If he stood naked at a presser someone would say “what a nice Italian wool suit he’s wearing and how well it fits him.”
