Discussion: After A Week Of Scrutiny, Donald Trump Gives Tempered Primary Night Speech

No, it didn’t. Usually, he’s energetic and engaged. This was awkward, hesitant, and stilted. Worse, he was trying to seem Presidential, and yet started tossing in bathroom humor with the ‘no peepee’ line. It’s telling that even Hugh Hewitt, life-long Republican flack, basically said ‘this was weak, he failed.’

I predicted this earlier this afternoon. Trump is coming down off his manic cycle. He didn’t send out a single tweet for 20 hours, and when he did it was “I’m doing an interview on tv” and “i’m giving a speech tonight” kinds of tweets. And I predicted he’d go into his version of “presidential” mode, even predicted he’d use a teleprompter.

Guess we’ll hafta wait until later in June for the crazy to return!

Agree. The words were his usual load of empty promises, talk about how decrepit our country has become, and crazy exaggerations about Clinton.

When he comes out next week with his claims that the Clintons have made hundreds of millions of dollars (money donated to the Clinton Foundatiin), Clinton will be able to contrast Trump’s reluctance to make good on his pledge to veterans with a long list of large programs carried out with Foundatiin money.

In that vein, he previewed some attacks against presumptive Dem nominee Hillary Clinton, whose “corrupt dealings” he said he would explore in a speech next week.

Tierney, what friggin’ speech were YOU watching!!! He didn’t preview - HE ATTACKED!!!

I turn on the radio for 5 minutes and all I heard: “Hillary & Bill are crooks!” “They profited off the White House” and “The foreigner investors who paid them millions”, etc, etc, blah blah blah… I damn near drove into oncoming traffic, I was railing at the radio that much!!!

Dog help us - 5 more months of this shitstorm… and the MSM has the gall to take this huckster seriously… Dog help us!

That was just awful. Poorly written. Horribly delivered. If this were The Apprenticeship, he would have been fired tonight.

Trump: “We’re suffering bigly’!”

Bigly is a perfectly crumulent word. ~ lmao!~

Is this where Andy Kaufman takes off the ‘Trump disguise’? Hmm…maybe the convention.

TPM, why give this buffoon top billing when Hillary scores a HISTORIC first as the 1st female major party nominee??
And Trump reading off a teleprompter, ain’t that a first?
And it looks like Melania got some botox in those lips

I think Trump is gonna continue to whine about the judge. It’s eating him up inside and he can’t help it. A Mexican sitting in judgement of Hizzoner Trump the 1st. It is just too fucking much for him to deal with.

Am I wrong or does Melania look like she’d rather be getting a high colonic than be standing where she’s standing?

Because she hadn’t given her speech yet.

Look at CNN’s web site for example.
She’s all over the top of the page.
And she hasn’t given the speech yet.
