Sometimes you think politicians are making it so easy to mock them that they must be in on the joke. Jacob Zuma unable to verbalise numbers (for the sixty million, three hundred thousand and forty two thousandth hundred time), Mugabe every time he opens his mouth, George Bush painting pictures of himself in the nude – at least make us work for it lads.

Then we have Donald Trump and yesterday’s announcement that he would be running for the 2016 presidency. Rather than having a speech prepared, Trump seemed to ad-lib his way through a truly horrendous address (video highlights HERE), covering a range of important issues so poorly that the memes will surely come sooner rather than later.

The afore-mentioned video clip doesn’t cover everything he had to say during his rambling toupée-topped tirade, so below are some more gems courtesy of Newser:

Even our nuclear arsenal doesn’t work. I thought it was horrible when [that fact] was broadcast on television because, boy, does that send signals to Putin … that America is a nation that truly has no clue.

On what he says was $5 billion spent making the ObamaCare website: “I have so many websites. I have them all over the place. I hire people, it costs me $3.”

“We don’t have victories anymore … I beat China all the time.”

Somebody said to me the other day, a reporter, ‘But Mr. Trump, you’re not a nice person. How can you get people to vote for you?’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’ I said, ‘Number one, I am a nice person. I think I’m actually a very nice person. But I said this is going to be an election that’s based on competence.’

Some people say, ‘Well, Donald will never run and one of the main reasons is he’s private and he’s probably not as successful as everyone thinks.’ … So a large accounting firm has been working for months … and they’ve put together a financial statement. … I have assets, big accounting firm, $9,240,000,000. And I have liabilities of about $500 [million] … so I have a total net worth of $8,737,540,000. I’m not doing that to brag. I’m doing that to say that’s the kind of thinking our country needs.

I think that last one is a rather poor effort at the humblebrag. I would recommend he works on that aspect but to be honest there are more pressing issues that need to addressed first.

Thanks again Donald and don’t be shy of the microphone going forward, we eagerly await your next ‘foot in mouth’ moment.
