That&#8217;s if you could decipher the inarticulate word salad he tosses around. In response to reporters questions about the approaching Hurricane Irma, Trump managed to squeeze out this brutal mangling of the English language (video below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The fact that there&#8217;s a new and seems to be record-breaking hurricane heading right towards Florida and Puerto Rico and other places. We&#8217;ll see what happens. We&#8217;ll know in a very short period of time. But it looks like it could be something that will be not good. Believe me. Not good.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, the residents of <em>&#8220;Other Places&#8221;<\/em> better be on high alert. Because <em>&#8220;something that will be not good&#8221;<\/em> is headed their way. Apparently it&#8217;s very different than the catastrophic weather that pummeled Texas recently. When visiting the victims there Trump described it in positive terms saying that <em>&#8220;It\u2019s been a wonderful thing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, the <em>&#8220;not goodness&#8221;<\/em> of Hurricane Irma may just be another example of the left-wing media fake news. At least according to Rush Limbaugh. He floated his theory yesterday that the the press focus on Irma was really just part of a devious plot. The purpose of the plotters was to help markets sell more bottled water and other supplies. It&#8217;s Limbaugh&#8217;s confirmation of the notorious cabal between Democrats and the convenience store lobby. What&#8217;s more, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/rush-limbaugh-hurricane-irma_us_59af580ee4b0dfaafcf39424\" target=\"_blank\">Limbaugh also claims<\/a><\/strong> that warnings about Irma advance the <em>&#8220;hoax&#8221;<\/em> of climate change:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cYou can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don\u2019t need a hurricane to hit anywhere. All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and more dangerous, and you create the panic, and it\u2019s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since Limbaugh, a resident of South Florida, isn&#8217;t buying the fake news reports about Irma, he might want to consider a day at the golf course. He surely doesn&#8217;t need to prepare for that phony storm the media is trying to sell. Maybe he could even plan to meet Trump at the President&#8217;s mansion on the island of St. Martin. Which is, or is not, in the direct path of Irma, depending on whether you believe Limbaugh or some nerdy scientists.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has yet to embrace Limbaugh&#8217;s conspiracy theory. But that may just be because he&#8217;s too busy manufacturing his own. The White House reported today that the President will go to North Dakota to deliver remarks about his (still non-existent) tax reform initiative. He <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/905381817695526912\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted<\/a><\/strong> the announcement of his trip saying that <em>&#8220;We are the highest taxed nation in the world.&#8221;<\/em> And with that, he added another notch to his belt of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/07\/26\/trump-claims-america-has-the-highest-taxes-in-the-world.html\" target=\"_blank\">outright lies<\/a><\/strong>. We are not even close to the top. But at least he got the thing about Hurricane Irma being <em>&#8220;not good&#8221;<\/em> right. Even if he did sound like choleric two-year old.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump on Hurricane Irma: &quot;It looks like it could be something that will be not good.
