Something very strange happened at the White House on Wednesday, and it has left many who saw it wondering if perhaps Donald Trump has finally jumped the proverbial shark and lost what was left of his already diseased mind.
As he showed reporters around the outside of the White House, Trump went on an extended rant about the grass that’s planted there.
“You know, grass has a life like humans have a life,” the so-called “president” said. “This has all been redone; it’s all been topsoiled… Lot of good ingredients. If you’re grass, you’re very happy. This grass will look so beautiful.”
Trump also thanked the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company.
“They actually contributed to my campaign, I must be honest,” he noted. “You’ll figure that one out.”

It was given, free of charge, by Scotts Miracle-Gro. They actually contributed to my campaign. So I wanna thank… pic.twitter.com/uXPYQly9Cw

Grass has a life like humans? Does that mean it should be allowed to register and vote? Trump would probably say yes, but only if the individual blades get ID cards and agree to cast a ballot for him.
It didn’t take long before the mockery began on social media.
Imagine Fox News, if we were losing a war to Iran, inflation is inflating, gas and grocery prices, and Biden was walking around talking about soil and plugging a company that gives him money. Just imagine.

Why not. He used Miracle Grow to re-build his ear & his hair.

Very happy grass will make all the difference in the upcoming mid terms. 😀 https://t.co/8rwbmv6uO9
