He really tore it up in his press avail today. The lies were as usual. The ideas underlying them are just ... scary.

Trump accuses the governments of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador of "arranging" migrant caravans.

Wow -- Trump repeatedly mangles the word "origins," on three separate occasions saying "oranges" instead. 😳 pic.twitter.com/EZggYhIAO7

He also had a weird senior moment as he was railing about Mueller failing to probe the "oranges" of the investigation:

As I have aged I find I sometimes struggle a little bit locating a word that when I was younger would come to me instantly. I'm told this is normal --- it's called "blocking" --- so I stopped worrying about it. But I've never substituted a word with a completely different meaning that sounds like the one I mean to use. I don't know that this is normal. Maybe it is. But it's mighty strange for a president to be doing it.

I wonder how often that happens?
