His vocabulary is incredibly small.

I can totally understand someone saying "It'll be a beautiful celebration of her life" because stories will be told that will make people laugh, cry, and nod in understanding.

And I say that as someone that doesn't waste much of my time or mental headspace for her because of who I found her to be in her public life.

He'll be on something or somebody and maybe the golf course later.

I find it odd when one of them is out of town on an official mission (I use the words lightly) without the other spouse, the unoccupied half of the couple high tails it to Mar-A-Largess.

I think it's the only chance they get to see their side pieces.

But the fool has no clue how and where to use them. He just pulls ‘em out of ass and throws together what he believes is an appropriate sentiment. Does he ever listen to what he is saying? No doubt, he does not or he’d delete that tweet because it just came out sounding like the family was going to have a picnic with plenty o’ sunshine. Good grief, what a boob!

according to Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs.




When I saw her tweet I wondered if he was going back to Mar-A-Lago to live-tweet the funeral.

And then he posted the tweet above about ten minutes after leaving the golf club.

suddenly kneels down as a funeral procession goes by in the distance. "You are very respectful" says his golfing partner. The man who is kneeling, gets up and hits the ball, and says, "That's my wife's funeral."
