(When it comes to Don, there is no need to do anything, but show his quotes. The meaning is obvious to the reader.)

“We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 50 years, where banks are collapsing. … We are a Third World nation. … Fake news is all you get, and they are indeed the enemy of the people. … We are a nation that, in many ways has become a joke. … We are a nation whose economy is collapsing into a cesspool of ruin, whose supply chain is broken, whose stores are not stocked.”

(This from a night - this week when he could not pronounce) Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), his devoted ally who had just come to campaign for him in New Hampshire. He mentioned the name of a pollster – his pollster – Tony Fabrizio, with an Italian accent, then asked, “Is he a relation to Al Capone?”

Though Don reads his speeches of a prompter, he repeats the same stories verbatim, sometimes three times in a single speech....

“Each drug dealer kills on average 500 people during his or her lifetime,” he informed his audience early in his speech.

“Each dealer is responsible for the deaths during their lives of over 500 people or more,” he informed them late in his speech.

(But then, Don ended his diatribe with this)...

“I feel my mind is stronger now than it was 25 years ago,” he told the crowd, promising them: “I’ll let you know when I go bad. I really think I’ll be able to tell you.”
