Let me tell you all a story \u2018bout a man name Trump a simple minded bumpkin with a head full of fluff, he wouldn\u2019t wear a mask now the Twitter corps says you can\u2019t wish him ill because he is our fascist Prez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Naval base doctors gather around his sickness bed to determine if he is in or out of his head, it\u2019s a difficult thing for a military doctor to declare because it all depends on the meaning of the word there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is well. He\u2019s well. In fact he\u2019s doing so gosh darn swell. He\u2019s a pigheaded sturdy son of a gun that\u2019s why we\u2019ve had to put him on oxygen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s well. He\u2019s well. In fact he\u2019s rather gosh darned swell. We\u2019ve started him on steroids to correct his old hemorrhoids, it\u2019s a comorbid condition as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now when we said the president he would pull through, we said that because we\u2019re messengers of his corporate crew, but to give the man the free will that is every man\u2019s due we\u2019re not absolutely entirely sure that\u2019s completely true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s well. He is well. In fact he\u2019s extraordinarily swell. So we\u2019ve upped the F\u2019ing steroids which is a term we use in relation to how we administer them, And he\u2019s doing extremely extraordinarily and fashionably well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do tell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
