Trump Makes A Stunning Observation About The Wetness Of Water
Donald Trump released a video on Tuesday that thanked first responders for helping the victims of Hurricane Florence. But the president appeared to be winging his comments, which included a line that instantly took on a life of its own on social media.
“This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water,” he said. “Rarely have we had an experience like it and it certainly is not good.”

The comment about how wet the storm was “from the standpoint of water” caused jokes to rain down on Twitter:
This dude just said "one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water" in a prerecorded video shoot and nobody even bothered to do a retake.

I just took a shower in the bathroom and I swear it was the wettest shower I’ve ever taken from the stand point of taking a shower with water

“One of the wettest we’ve seen from the standpoint of water” ? How can something this rehearsed (in trump-adjusted terms) still be this bad ?
