Takes a random Trump statement from his NY Times round-table and has your computer speak it. To chilling effect.
curl -s -b -N --location http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/us/politics/trump-new-york-times-interview-transcript.html \
| perl -0ne 'my @list = $_ =~ m/>TRUMP:(.*?)<\/p>/smg; print $list[rand @list]' \
| say -i -r 300 -v Alex

This is a quick bash script to make your Mac speak a random line from Donald Trump's Washington Post Editorial Interview. Because it sounds even crazier spoken by your computer. Just copy and paste into your terminal and hit return.
curl -s -N --location https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/03/21/a-transcript-of-donald-trumps-meeting-with-the-washington-post-editorial-board/ \
| perl -0ne 'my @list = $_ =~ m/<p>TRUMP:(.*?)<\/p>/smg; print $list[rand @list]' \
| say --progress -i -r 300 -v Alex
