While queue grammatically works at the beginning of your sentence, if you spoke it aloud, a native English speaker would interpret the sentence as beginning with “cue”.
ie, “This comment will trigger (cue) some Trump word salad…”
vs
“After this comment, Trump will prepare a series (queue) of Trump word salad…”
I’m a native English speaker and this is ridiculous pedantry. Especially given the context. Word salad is a string of words, all delivered in sequence - all lined up, as it were, or even… dare I say… queued up. Why would anyone pick such a weird thing to argue about though?
Queue some trump word salad about how he’s the best former president for black folks since Lincoln and how Biles is nasty and ungrateful.
“Cue”
