Like the notes Eric Morecambe played on the piano, there are those who, when it comes to making political speeches, say all the right words but not necessarily in the right order.
And as a result spout nonsense that is distinctly unpleasant to hear.
It’s a phenomenon that is common when the one with the microphone is a powerful bully who surrounds himself with ‘Yes’ men who wouldn’t say ‘Boo’ to a gosling – still less a goose – and openly admits to hating his opponents and wanting only what’s worst for them.
Because no-one then is prepared to challenge his dangerously ill informed pronouncements.
But unlike Eric Morecambe, when you’re speaking as the President of the United States, whilst it still might be a joke, it’s not one that is the least bit funny.
