After Donald Trump’s late night meltdown earlier this week in which he accidentally endorsed four random people who weren’t even running for office, one of whom lives in Canada, could it be possible that he’d find a way to screw up his endorsements even more? If we’re asking the question, you kind of already know the answer.

For reasons known only to him, Donald Trump now posts most of his endorsement tweets late at night, after most people have gone to bed. Come to think of it, considering how far Trump’s increasingly psychotic rhetoric has deviated from what anyone in the Republican Party thinks might actually help the party’s chances, you have to wonder if the GOP has tricked Trump into posting these endorsements at a time of day when no one is going to see them. In any case, the one he posted last night was a bit on the ill-fated side.

Here’s what Trump tweeted: “Scott Perry of Pennsylvania is fantastic. He is strong on the Border, Crime, the Military, our Vets and the Second Amendment. Scott has my Total Endorsement!” Wait a minute, what border? Pennsylvania borders New York, New Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Which of these borders is Scott Perry strong on?

Surely Donald Trump isn’t talking about the United States border with Mexico, because Pennsylvania and Mexico are more than fifteen hundred miles apart. Come to think of it, what are the odds Trump even knows who Scott Perry is? Maybe he’s thinking of Steve Perry, the former singer for Journey, which might explain why Trump has been playing Don’t Stop Believin’ at his rallies lately. The only way Trump’s endorsements could be any more lacking in enthusiasm is if he tweeted Charlie Brown teacher noises in their place.
