I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate “Artists,” and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President! Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. I don’t want so-called “Artists” that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN. So, by copy of this TRUTH, I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP

If you think he's bad, imagine how deeply mentally ill you have to be to support him.

I've heard "the yips" in a Sports context, although maybe not in the past 10 years or so. It's when some mental block occurs, and the muscle memory that the athlete relies on suddenly is forgotten, and they can't do some basic athletic task that a pro is supposed to be able to do.

Maybe he has the Knicks on his mind, sometimes a basketball player gets "the yips" and can't make his free throws anymore. Although I've heard it more in a baseball context, when a good pitcher all of a sudden can't throw a strike.

Can he get the shit beaten out of him in the Whitehouse octogon too? All it will seemingly take is one fighter to back out.
