‘She has to be of age. Like above 6 years old’: Trump makes bizarre statement about kids, everyone confused, disturbed

It’s safe to say that now is perhaps not the best time for Donald Trump to be arguing that prepubescent girls are “of age”.

For months, Trump has been dogged by the revelations in the Epstein files, which have seen him and his cronies put in an uncomfortable position over their close relationships with the modern era’s most notorious pedophile.

Trump, in particular, must be feeling the heat after the Department of Justice was successfully pressured to release FBI interview transcripts from a woman alleging she was violently sexually assaulted by him when she was just 13 years old.

The White House has attempted to dismiss the woman as “disturbed” (she might be, but who wouldn’t be after that experience?), though several aspects of her story have been found to be credible.

“These are called best of Trump”

All of which is to say that Trump has seriously raised some eyebrows with one of his trademark rambling speeches in which, for no apparent reason, he began talking (in an alarming slurred tone) about very young girls being “of age”:

“I put that down as a top three. Look, no mail-in… now you have the exceptions for the military and I would even say foreign base military… but for the military, for disability, for illness and if you’re travelling… you know… you have a, uh, excuse. And I-I was lenient on that. But those three things. And then! I added two more. These are best of. You know, best of. These are called best of Trump.”

I will pause for a second here to note that, trust me, transcribing this nonsense is just as painful as reading it. But if we’re getting into this, it should have the full context.

“We should also add on to this bill… and so what I’ve asked Mike to do is to draw a new one with these few things added and… and let’s go for the gold. Let’s not just get one like voter ID, but you know… it can be given to you by your daughter. You know, your daughter. She has to be… of… of age. Like, above six years old, she’s allowed to say.”

I’ve been writing about Trump for years and can usually tease out what he’s maybe meaning to say with his inane word salads. But, frankly, on this one, he has me beat. Sure, he’s talking about Voter ID, but what on Earth does he mean by blathering on about someone’s daughter?!

And why the heck is he so concerned about prepubescent girls being “of age”? Of age for WHAT, Donald?!

At this point, his allies should be praying for an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, as at least in that case, they can write off these bizarre pronouncements as merely a symptom of illness. If they’re actually consciously springing from his brain, we’re in deeper trouble than we thought. And we were already in very deep trouble indeed.
