friend time friend, she's a friend. She's been my friend in and out of public life.”
Let the person who has never repeated himself cast the first stone; is that really you, jadis?
I don't plan to do any research into Trump's linguistic stumbles, but from memory, there was one about "routers". The difference, to me, is that Trump is stumbling to express ideas that are nonsense to begin with. At least with Biden, blunders aside, you are left with a proper idea - so I have more patience with him. Unravelling what Trump means is often an irritating, futile exercise; you discover that he is driveling on about toilets not flushing properly, windmills giving you cancer, that he is failing to understand the difference between weather and climate or suggesting that you shine a torch up your bottom to cure covid.

You sound a little sceptical, Batlord, but I hope he will deliver some real changes. He has at least started by making all the right noises and rejoining the Paris Accords. This document gives us some hope, and the page is headed "The White House" and therefore must be true:-
