Frog and Toad went for a walk. Toad tripped over a rock. He bumped into a tree. He fell in a hole.
“Frog,” said Toad, “I can’t see anything. I will not be able to wear your beautiful present. This is a sad birthday for me.”

Frog and Toad were caught in the rain. They ran to Frog’s house.
“I am all wet,” said Toad. “The day is spoiled.”
“Have some tea and cake,” said Frog. “The rain will stop. If you stand near the stove, your clothes will soon be dry.”

Quick guide to interpreting US foreign policy propaganda: if the word “deal” was used, some American made some money, and the war is still going on.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Frog and Toad ate many cookies, one after another.
“You know, Toad,” said Frog, with his mouth full, “I think we should stop eating. We will soon be sick.”
“You are right,” said Toad. “Let us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop.”
