    His diet could also explain it. What would Occam say?

    I have to agree with you. They threaten the United States very strongly, with thermonuclear hydrogen bombs and ICBM's, and Trump responds with "sanctions".

    Yes, I voted for Trump, and given a choice between him and that Clinton wretch, I'd vote for him again. But, really... "sanctions"?! :roflol:

    It was a juxtaposition.

    Saw a close up of the "cotton mouth", sure looks like he has bottom dentures because clearly his bottom teeth moved up. Would have thought he could afford implants easily, maybe he can now? :)

    Whoa! C'mon, Professor... you used a five-syllable word?! You might as well have been speaking German! :eyepopping:
    But, in case you'd rather try that... Nebeneinanderstellung!

    Dentures do cause these kinds of problems occasionally when speaking, but from what I've heard from friends (and my dentist), if you really want to have pure hell in your life, just get some dental implants that "don't go right" for whatever reason -- now, or a few years after you have them installed. If the bone in the jaw doesn't have the right density or composition, the implants can loosen and come out... and then you're really screwed (so to speak :roflol:).

    I don't know if Trump has dentures or not, or implants or not. But I'm sure there's got to be some eager-beaver, enterprising Democrat 'investigator' out there who will manage to do an 'expose' on it -- and find some 'expert' who thinks it's grounds for impeachment!

    [​IMG]. At least with dentures, your mouth will probably never look end up looking like this!

    Well one is the current president whose health problems you likened to to the other, and the other displayed health problems last year that Trump supporters like you stated made her a serious risk if elected as president. So in conclusion, you've used the wrong word in your reply as juxtaposition cannot apply to the statement "Sounds like Hillary's cough"

    Exactly.

    Trump is trying to run the Nation like he ran Trump Enterprises -- like a corrupt CEO.

    "Corrupt CEO" is a repetitive oxymoron.

    They are all corrupt.

    Err, you stated that the noises that Trump made sounded like Hilary's cough and you and other Trump supporters stated that Clinton was too ill to be president because of this cough.

    It's called circular logic AKA failed reasoning.

    A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

    Here are the basics:

    A metaphor states that one thing is another thing
    It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.

    Any other English questions? I'd be happy to help.

    At first I thought I was watching Saturday Night Live. That was Trump doing an Alec Baldwin Trump impression!
    In any case, something definitely came loose in his mouth, he was chewing on it at the end.
    Perhaps he could no longer swallow his own b***sh*t.

    He talked so pathetic, I almost felt sorry for him. Then I remembered that Trump himself doesn't care about people with bad teeth. (Because, you know, he plans to steal their health-care.)

    He's a fake tooth-fairy!

    LOL at you asking me if I had any English questions after you firstly used the word juxtaposition when you clearly did not know what that word meant, and now you've used the word metaphor to describe your statement "Sounds like Hillary's cough" - Err, you've used the wrong word again.

    However if you're now saying that the claims that the fuss over Hilary's cough making her a risky choice for President were not valid, then the word metaphor might loosely be used to describe the statement you made. However you were one of those stating that her health problems made her unsuitable to become President so you fail again.

    That's a scary image right there. I'd say that tRUmp's cotton mouth is fear related, corrupt intent must cause medical and sleep issues.

    Perhaps he can make the EMT call next time Hillary loses her footing. And the EMTs don't make it in time to save either of them.
