SPURIOUS

Just as Achilles, swift of foot though absent spear:

“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.”

—US President Donald John Trump

Just as Hermes, winged sandaled interpreter translates:

“I think he was just stating that as a leader, he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help.”

—White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Discrepancies are aesthetic:

“You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red […] it’s just not my thing.”

—US President Donald John Trump

It’s a bone spur kind of thing.
