One can notice in Reader Comments for news articles, mixed metaphors occur with some frequency. Sometime I'm going to collect them and make what I think they call "a mash-up." Maybe Beyoncé could turn it into a song...
"...You thought that I'd be sad without you, I laugh harder
Thought I wouldn't grow without you, now I'm wiser
Thought that I'd be helpless without you, but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you, but I'm chillin'..."
I read that she was working toward saving the world, which is good: she's got the energy; many of us are tired.

---------------------------- I was listening to Donald Trump in some news clips: two things I noticed --
1. It seems more showmanship than substance, less like a campaign, more like a show.
And 2. He seemed to talk in circles - he would keep circling back around through phrases and points and say the same things again.
Once when I was in a luncheon meeting listening to a politician speak, I was taking notes on a paper placemat - at the end, when I looked down, I saw that my notes went in a circle -- around and around, on the paper. (Perhaps I should become a speechwriter for Donald Trump - ha! I'll write in a circle, and he can talk in a circle...)
