Donald Trump said everyone confuses ‘see’ with ‘the sea’ and the Oxford English Dictionary just got a brand new definition of ‘projection’

Nobody who has ever heard Donald Trump speak would accuse the man of being a wordsmith.

That being said, even this is a little startling when it comes to the President beating the cognitive decline accusations.

This week the White House hosted a dinner to honor law enforcement officials and Trump took the mic.

Then this happened…

Trump: Drugs coming by sea meaning coming by water. A lot of people don’t know what I mean by sea. They think I mean vision. I’m talking about sea like the sea. pic.twitter.com/dl3qV0U4oz

Raise your hand if you ever considered that when Trump talked about drug trafficking in international waters, you ever once even considered the thought that he meant “see” instead of “sea.”

Anyone?

Right.

The way Trump stumbles through his awkward definition of what he could’ve possibly meant by “drugs by see” – “They think I’m talking about vision” – only makes the misunderstanding more confusing.

While the President was fumbling through the different definitions of the words “sea” and see,” nobody in the replies had any problems defining what they thought of Trump.

I’m telling you — this motherfucker learned like WEEKS ago, that “by sea” wasn’t “by see.”

And that is fucking INSANE. https://t.co/3Bmlv92uIr

When he says “a lot of people” he means “me.”

His cognitive issues are a crisis. https://t.co/d8EeIWgZpV
