President Trump clearly suffers from an intense case of logorrhea.
You’ve probably figured out that the word “logorrhea” is related to the word “diarrhea.” In this case, it’s words that come out in a stream, instead of something more visible.
Donald Trump literally can not stop his thoughts from pouring out of his mouth in an uncontrolled stream of noxiousness. That’s logorrhea.
The latest example of Trump’s inability to control his own speech came during a recent meeting with both Democratic and Republican Senators. The meeting was supposed to be a “listening session” to drum up support for Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee, Neil Gorsuch.
But as soon as the reporters were ushered out of the room, Trump had another attack of logorrhea. As usual, the President turned the conversation immediately to himself. Without even mentioning the upcoming Supreme Court Senate hearing, Trump once again complained to the Senators about the terrible “voter fraud” that he insists cost him the popular vote.
Apparently, the sight of former New Hampshire Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte was enough to reignite Trump’s paranoid fury. Ayotte, who lost her reelection bid to Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, is now working for Trump as a Capitol Hill liaison. She is helping to gather support for the confirmation of Judge Gorsuch. That’s why she was in the room, not that the President cared.
One look at Ayotte, and Trump started talking about voter fraud.
Sources in the room said that the President told the assembled group that both he and Ayotte would have won New Hampshire if not for the “busloads” of voters from Massachusetts who came in by the thousands to vote for the Democrats.
Those same sources say there was an “uncomfortable silence in the room” after the bizarre statement.
I bet there was.
Considering that I am an active liberal Democrat who lives in Massachusetts, 5 miles from the New Hampshire border, I’m absolutely certain that there was no call for bodies to ride those phantom buses.
Nobody, anywhere, thinks that there were “thousands” of liberal voters bused into New Hampshire last November.
Nobody, not one thinking person anywhere actually thinks there were millions of illegal votes cast for Hillary Clinton, either.
But the President can’t get it off his mind. Or out of his mouth.
This guy is obsessed with people being “mean” to him. He can’t control his own thoughts to get ahead of those obsessions.
And he definitely can’t control his mouth when those upsetting thoughts go through his tiny mind.
Logorrhea.
Classic case.
