There is not much about Donald Trump — or, for that matter, anyone in his administration — that I find amusing. (There is nothing funny about witnessing an individual’s mental and physical deterioration.) But I’m reasonably certain the neighbors heard me yesterday when I collapsed in a frenzy of maniacal laughter after reading this on Facebook.

This was Trump on one of his delusional rants about Venezuela:

“Now with Venezuela, and we — Just so you understand, the people of Venezuela . . . They say if I ran for president of Venezuela, I’m polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela, so after I’m finished with this [Iran War], I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won’t take too long. I’m good at language. And I will go to Venezuela, I’m gonna run for president.” [Post by Occupy Democrats, April 6, 2026.] [Bold emphasis is mine.]

It was unclear whether Trump was serious or joking about running for a presidency for which he is obviously ineligible; it’s often hard to tell whether he’s compos mentis at any given moment. But somewhere in the depths of his twisted, narcissistic brain, he probably does believe that he is scoring off the charts in some non-existent poll, and that he could “quickly learn Spanish” because he is so “good at language.”

This, from an 80-year-old man who can barely speak English.

His utterances truly boggle the mind. But at least — amidst all the horror of his daily proclamations — I was able to enjoy a few minutes of good, therapeutic laughter from this one . . . and I suspect I was not alone.

I guess we should be grateful for small favors.

Just sayin’ . . .
