It’s almost like tripping over words is a thing humans do from time to time, and that humans who spend an above average amount of time speaking in front of a camera will have a higher number of recorded slip ups. Who would have imagined?

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
—Dwight Eisenhower
