OrangeVerse LI: An F-35 for Mother's Day

Here we are, a few days since Mother's Day, and I'm sure that many folks may now be getting together with their moms for the first time since shelter-in-place orders were issued most places weeks ago. 

Mother's Day is one of those times when presidents offer a message of some sort, usually a thankful, loving, supportive message, often referencing their own moms and other mother figures who were important to them.  

Not one to miss an opportunity for such a message, the president got a little nostalgic a week ago when Ainsley Earhardt, one of the talking heads on the Trump News Network, gave him the opportunity. Here's what she asked him.

This Sunday is Mother's Day. What are you plans? What are you going to do for Melania? And do you have a message for all the moms that are watching?

And, in free-flowing, Made in America verse, is his response.

Viva la Difference!

Well, we'll be together.

I'm going to a 

Camp David Meeting - 

a Big Meeting

with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Camp David is this

very special place that nobody

ever gets to see but it's a

great work environment and

we're going to have 

meetings on

different things.

When You Gotta, You Gotta

Our military has

never looked better

it's never been better

we've never had the kind of

equipment that we have now.

We had planes

that were 50 years old and more.

Fighter jets, now we have

the best in the world.

The F-35 and the F-18. 

What we have is incredible. 

The equipment and the people

that we have are great but

you know, they

have to have 

equipment.

And we spent $1.5 trillion - 

really, more than that. And

we've totally rebuilt our military

which you have to do.

You know I'm a very

budget-conscious person.

But you have to do.

USA! USA! USA! 
The nice thing is - 

it's all built in the USA.

And plenty of equipment coming.

Lots of this equipment is coming.

So it's very important that

we have the best military

and we have the. 

Our 

military

has 

never 

been

in 

condition 

like

it 

is

now

and 

soon 

will 

be.

Even Earhardt was flummoxed by Trump's remarks, and tried to refocus his attention on the question at hand, asking him  "Do you have a message for the moms that are watching?"

Easy to be Hard
Well, all I can say is,

happy Mother's Day,

and I had a great mom.

I loved my mom

and she loved me, 

which isn't hard - 

which is, 

I must tell you, 

probably not easy

to do.

But she was so good to me.

She was so good.

I couldn't do anything 

wrong, which is a 

big problem. 

Maybe that's why

I ended up 

the way 

I ended up. 

I couldn't do anything

wrong in her eyes. 

And I had a great

father, too. 

Great guy. 

Very different types.

By my mother 

was a terrific woman.

Melanie... Melania... Melancholy

And Melania's been

a great mother

to Barron. 

I will tell you that. 

Barron

is growing up

really beautifully.

And she's been 

a great mother

to Barron.

I don't know about you, I'm looking forward to the Father's Day message - maybe we'll have tanks for the dads?
