OrangeVerse LIII: Bad to Worse to Horrid

Continuing our stroll through the president's personal rose garden - the one where word salad is the special of the day, every day, and 'me' is the first and last letter of the alphabet.

In yesterday's edition of OrangeVerse, which didn't even include all of his remarks, he started out talking about vaccines, and ended drawing letters in the air. In between, there was the floating plague from China, and trade deals, a recitation of the months of the year, and more. 

And we'll open today's edition with the subject of opening.

Nearer, Coronavirus, to Thee

You've got to open it up.

And you do social distancing

and you wear masks if you want

and you do things - you can do a lot of things.

You're getting closer together. Even you, I noticed

you're starting to get much closer together. 

It looks much better, I must say.

You're not all the way there yet but you'll be there soon.*

Opening the Patient

But it's a tremendous thing

that happened. And the reason

 it happened is because we had 

a really strong patient.

We had a patient that 

was so powerful,

so strong, 

that we could 

close it and open.

Analogous to Nothing

And I give you this analogy -

somebody told me yesterday 

- it was Larry - Larry Kudlow. 

He said, Sir, this is like a hurricane.

And we were worried; we didn't know:

Is this going to be a hurricane or a major,

major recession? A major recession that's not

artificially caused because we - artificially - this was

artificially closed. We just said, "Boom, closed." And

everything just stopped. And also, you know what else

stopped? Big numbers on death, by doing it. 

And that's why I had to do it.

We've made every decision

correctly. But it was like

we stopped. So it was an

artificial closing.

A lot of people

got it right. They

had confidence

in me, they had

confidence in this

team and they got

it right. I think that's

the only thing they could

based it on because we were

in unchartered territory.

Focusing on 'Them'

It's - I'd like to just say that

renewal restoration or recovery

of the most vulnerable areas of 

America is going to be my focus.

It's going to be a big focus, because

it's taking care of itself but we have

to help that very vulnerable area.

They're vulnerable. It's not right.

And we're helping them, and we

have helped them in the past. 

There were also Opportunity 

Zones, criminal justice reform.

It's Time to Get Back on Script (for 19 Words, Anyway)

It's now time for us to work together as we rebuild,

renew, and recover the great promise of America.

And that's true. We're going to work together. 
It'll all work out. It will all work out. 

Some of the governors may need

 a little help yet, but I think, 
for the most part, they're

in good shape. 
We have fantastic military; 
we have fantastic National Guard.

The National Guard was barely used.
And these people have done an unbelievable

job. They helped the Secret Service in Washington. 

Secret Service, by the way, are unbelievable. The job they did

in the White House is unbelievable. There was never any form

of, like, "Oh, gee, this sounds dangerous." All I could see was what

was on television. But they were outside, and the Secret Service was 

incredible, but we were also helped by the DC police and we were helped

by - the National Guard was unbelievable. 
They came in and they - 
this was like a piece of cake.

Send in The Guard

And I really am suggesting - 

because if you look at Minnesota

and the great success we had there 

and other places, I'm suggesting to

some of these governors that are 

too proud in New York - I mean

you see what's going on there.

Don't be proud. Get the job done.

You'll end up looking much better

in the end. Call in the National

Guard. Call me. We'll have so

many people - more people than -

 you have to dominate the streets.

You can't let what's happening

happen. It's called "dominate

the streets." You can't let that

happen in New York, where 

they're breaking into stores

and all of those things. And

by the way hurting many

small businesses.  

You can't let it happen.

26 Words From the Script, Some Babble, and 
63 Words From Hell

Equal justice under the law must mean that

every American receives equal treatment in every

encounter with law enforcement, regardless of race,

color, gender, or creed. They have to receive fair treatment

from law enforcement. They have to receive it. We all saw what

happened last week. We can't let that happen.

Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying,

"This is a great thing that's happening for our country."

This is a great day for him.

It's a great day for everybody.

This is a great day for everybody.

This is a great, great day in terms

of equality. It's really what our

Constitution requires, and it's

what our country is all about.

One more set still to come. 

*The White House press corps was surprised to see that their chairs, originally set up for social distancing, had been pushed closer together before the start of the poetry reading.
