Great, he’ll probably send Nazis to hold “free-speech” rallies in Kabul.
Hmmmmm…what are the odds of him actually sticking to the speech on the teleprompter?
How much you wanna bet he’s gonna read something banal someone in the military wrote for him…and then he’ll go off script and talk shit about Obama and Afghanistan, or some other fact-free shit? Maybe he’ll find a way to piss off some ally in the process, or surprise leaders from those allied countries with some decision that involves them, before having briefed them first. It could happen. With this jerk, its almost a certainty.
WH staff is sick with worry today. I suppose Trump is capable of reading prepared remarks without wandering into a minefield. It is after all a national address, you’d think Kelly and Mattis and a few others could somehow impress upon him the gravity of the event and the importance of getting through it unscathed.
But…he’s The Donald. It will surprise no one if all the after-speech analysis consists of “Can you believe the can of worms that dumb ass opened this time!!!”
Zilch…When he loses his place reading, that’s when he’ll improvise. Normally by repeating the last thing he said two or three times, FOR EMPHASIS!!! He’s really bad at this. Oration is not his forte’. The only forte’ he seems to have down-pat is pissing people off.
PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE let him regale the audience with his Pershing/pig blood story. I’ll have died and gone to heaven, my life will be complete.
He is already taking a dump on Ryan’s CNN Town Hall, just by scheduling this at this time spot.
“The speech Monday night will also give Trump a chance for a reset after one of the most difficult weeks of his short presidency.”
They just can’t let go of the mythical pivot narrative for anything, can they?
Ryan should be so lucky he’d schedule a town hall and no one showed up because they were home watching Trump.
“Hey people, I tried hearing you out, be a long damn time before you get another chance, you blew it.”
Yeah, I can see it. I had a friend that banged syphilitic hookers for a year. His wife found out, but everything was OK after he took her out to a nice dinner and a Blake Shelton concert.
Oh…Randy Bryce is showing up 
Ryan won’t be alone.
I figure this solar eclipse will somehow bring forth something of a blessing and a curse at the same time…sorta like an omen. Apparently tRump doesn’t want to be upstaged by the sun or the moon today. He’s bigger than all that…He still wants everyone talking about him when the day is done.
He’s just lucky Monday night football isn’t on tonight. Seems like he probably criticized Obama for that too, once or twice.
Multiple sources say Trump was livid beyond comprehension he had to share this book cover with Bannon. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was what did Bannon in. Damn he’s such a small man. Trump would probably insist on blowing out the candles at someone else’s birthday party.
" beset by endemic corruption and infighting"
Sounds like the Trump White House.
I see Trump’s afraid of speaking from his new, gold-encrusted Oval and needs a studio audience. Sad.
Exhibition game, on ESPN, 5:00 PT, NY Giants and Cleveland.
He has to do something, anything to burnish his Commander in Chief creds.
Trump, who has been accused by lawmakers of dragging his feet on Afghanistan, has settled on a new strategy to carry on the nearly 16-year-old conflict there, administration officials said Sunday. The move, following a detailed review, is likely to open the door to the deployment of several thousand troops.
Of course, just a few weeks ago he was blasting the Joint Chiefs for proposing this very same “strategy”. A point that will be completely ignored by every pundit tonight.
