Did Trump Just “Jump The Shark?”

 

Couldn’t Quite Get It Right At Montana Rally As He Rebutted NY Times Op-Ed Penned By Clandestine Source Within His Staff…Couldn’t Even Pronounce The Word “Anonymous”…Not To Mention The Embarrassingly Poorly Managed Crowd…

 

Yeah, this is petty. Still, click on the photo above to play the clip and you’ll see what we mean…If you want to have even more fun with it, there’s this:
