        Lord. I don't think he meant he invented it. I think he was just saying "this thought occurred to me today". Settle down.

        Trump should not tussle with metaphor. He is clearly still mastering the art of the simple declarative sentence. Way out of his league.

        It's clear he didn't really attend classes. Home-schooled in thieving and treachery the trump way. A legacy of corruption.

        Zero chance Trump has had sex in 30 years without priming the pump. FLOTUS is dryer than the Mojave desert.

        His stream of lies, big & small, is constant, and sometimes it's impossible to comprehend his rationale for lying.

        Melania's pretty familiar with having to "prime the pump."
