Trump and the "Dean Scream"

 In 2004 Howard Dean was running to be the democratic contender for president of the United States.  After a loss in Iowa, he made a speech to rally his followers.  At one point he let out a shout or "scream" that became a favorite clip for the news media to play.  Apparently the idea was that anybody who screamed like that once in his life could certainly not be president.  Dean lost.

Fast forward to the present.  79-year-old president Donald Trump doesn't scream, but he does speak.  Often.  Strangely, for a president.  Below are recent quotes from him, that in context are much worse than they look just as snippets.  Worse than a scream.  And yet, there seems to be little reaction to these out-of-kilter thoughts and pronouncements.  Maybe if you see them all in a row they'll hit differently.

 

Your daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old.

All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died, and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms.

I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better.

Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again.

Cuba’s going to fall, too

Let’s go for the gold [SAVE Act]. It’s actually a matter in a serious way of national survival. We can’t have these elections going on like this anymore.

And whether it's Iran, who also has some Tomahawks,” Trump falsely continued, “they wish they had more, but, whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a Tomahawk — a Tomahawk is very generic, it's sold to other countries. But that's being investigated right now.

We can use their base if we want – we can just fly in and use it.

It’s both. It’s an excursion that will keep us out of a war.

Based on what Steve and Jerod and Pete and others were telling me (Marco, so involved), that I thought they were going to attack us. I thought if we didn’t do this at the time we did it I think they had in mind to attack us.

Just about all of their navy is gone, at the bottom of the sea.

We won. In the first hour, it was over.

When I feel it in my bones.

So when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.

There's something wrong. Their genetics are not exactly your genetic. It's a terrible thing. And it happens. And it happens.

Jobs are coming in through the roof, and we have factories being built all over the country. … We’ve taken in $18 trillion-plus in 11 months.

President Trump said that today’s US attacks on Kharg Island “totally demolished” most of the island but that “we may hit it a few more times just for fun.”

The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS! The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades

I strongly criticized Jerome ‘Too Late’ for his horrible performance throughout his tenure, which is either gross incompetence, total dishonesty, or both, and, in return for this well justified criticism, get viciously and wrongfully blamed by, as usual, a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge, named James Boasberg, a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been ‘after’ my people, and me, for years

The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!

You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.

He would be dead by June!

OK, I don’t want any more from ABC [News]

I predicted Osama bin Laden would knock out the World Trade Center. I wrote it in a book.

I’ll have the honor of taking Cuba. Whether I free it, take it, I can do anything I want with it.

They weren’t supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. Those missiles were set to go after them… nobody expected that!

I’ve spoken to a certain president — A past president, former president, he said: ‘I wish I did it. I wish I did.’ But they didn’t do it. I’m doing it. Yeah?

The President of the United States, Gavin Newscum, admitted that he has learning disabilities.

WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!

When Pepe has his big sugar ships coming around and they cost $1 billion and we say, ‘I think it's okay now, Pepe, take your ship, drive it through the Strait of Hormuz.’ He may say, ‘let me wait a little while’ because… these ships are very expensive.

Who knows better about surprises than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? (to Japan Prime Minister)

...but [NATO] don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.

It’s [the war] gonna be over with pretty soon.

It’s ($200 billion) a small price to make sure we stay tippy-top.

If we stay longer [in Iran], they’ll never rebuild.

Their leaders are all gone. The next set of leaders are all gone. And the next set of leaders are mostly gone. And now nobody wants to be a leader over there anymore.

He knows what it is to pound people, right Ike?

I don’t want a ceasefire. You don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.

Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!

Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!

I don’t think he’s going to be at Newsmax long.

Don't worry about Easter, going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus, ok?

A man discovered the paperclip. It was so simple, and everybody that looked at it said why didn’t I think of that.

[Iran] jointly controlled. Maybe me, maybe me. Me and the ayatollah, whoever the ayatollah is.

We’re dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader. It’s a little tough – we’ve wiped out everybody.

Since he lost his wife, I felt badly for him, so I told my people, ‘Reach out to him, give him a job at the White House.’ This is the thanks I get.

I don’t want to say this but I have to… Pete didn’t want it to be settled.
