Discussion: McConnell Says Trump Became 'Presidential' During Address To Congress

That’s really not fair to Douglas Adams ! or Zaphod Beeblebrox for that matter …

Well, let’s see if Trump can remember and explain any of the topics that were in his speech - other than the bragging and self-congratulatory parts.

Well, to be fair he became presidential after the inauguration. He’s just doing it so incredibly poorly that most of us don’t recognize it. His presidential is like a co-woekers impersonation of say, Sean Connery. Sure, they can “do” it but you wouldn’t know what they are doing if they didn’t tell you.

The bar is so low that presidential means reading a script without going off on a tirade. He’s as presidential as his “gold” in the tower is 24 carat.

They used to say about Jack Nicklaus: “He knew he was going to beat you. You knew he was going to beat you. And he knew you knew he was going to beat you.”

As for Senator McConnell: He knows he’s lying. You know he’s lying. And he knows you know he’s lying.
But he doesn’t care.

I liked Zaphod Bebblebrox too…:slight_smile:

And there you have it. The most comprehensive definition of Mtich McConnell.

Will be so so so so so so so so glad when he is finally gone from this world.

And when Trumpy got back stage he laughed his f*king head off .

Sure. And maybe someday you’ll become senatorial, McTurtle.

Gone from the Senate, at least. After that, I don’t care.

I guess he hasn’t been your Senator for over 30 years.

McConnell Says Trump Became ‘Presidential’ During Address to the Congress

“it’s only a model”

The man successfully delivered a speech, which is a basic requirement of holding the office. It’s sort of like declaring someone to be a doctor because they successfully used a stethoscope to detect a heartbeat.

He’s still the same man, and the problem lies there.

Not actually foaming at the mouth is a very low bar to set for “presidential,” Mr. McConnell.

Mitch, giving a speech full of lies, misstatements and hyperbole no matter how well delivered is still a speech full of lies, misstatements and hyperbole and is hardly Presidential.

It is presidential to HAVE to do a speech to a joint session of congress ONE MONTH IN because that month has been such an unmitigated disaster that something had to be done to appear quasi presidential and non-puerile incompetent totally out of his depth. It is presidential to stand in front of a teleprompter and read a speech written for him by someone else, full of lies, because in comparison to his first month and his compulsive morning bowel movement tweets, well, this was sort of presidential. Just like the Mexico trip during the campaign was sort of kind of presidential. If you look at it soft focus in your peripheral vision and dont listen to the actual words. Yes. Presidential. Quite.

McConnell Says Trump Became ‘Presidential’ During Address To Congress

You would Mitch
Was this the vaunted “pivot” we heard so much about?
Don’t think so
You watch Mitch…the old trump will resurface. Donnie cannot hold this act in perpetuity.
edit
Generally Mitch a POTUS goes for some substance and outlines detail in a speech like this. Not this guy. And what was that about a dead soldier being happy about an ovation? I honor the troops but that was a bit over the top.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. But I do know Mitch McConnell would have said this, exactly this thing he said, if Trump had walked out naked, bitten the head off a live chicken and given a speech advocating pedophilia.

I saw only one 5 second snippet. That was enough. Most pundits would have been satisfied with your take as well though some would also have wanted a human sacrifice.
