Philosophical? i don’t think he knows the meaning of the word. All he has are slogans.

I didn’t know that Texas A & M was “in my home state.”
Is he an idiot or what?
Minor flap ensued when orange announced he’d be dancing with the immigrant to the Sinatra song My Way at one of the inaugural balls. Nancy Sinatra reminded us how the song began.
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain.
@chammy I think I was as proud of this president as I’ve ever been during this speech. He stayed high, seemed to give orange the benefit of the doubt that he’d catch on how to govern and eventually morph into something resembling presidential. I couldn’t have done the same.

Spicer has gone a long way on a shoe shine and a smirk.

You must admit he does snark very well:
Sean Spicer, Donald Trump’s incoming White House press secretary, on Thursday morning offered a glimpse of Trump’s inaugural address, describing it as “less of an agenda and more of a philosophical document.”

His “philosophy” of business and life?
Anyone want to bet with me that he does NOT mention his HUGE, HISTORIC wins over his humiliated opponents? Ok, that’s too easy. Will he make a dig at Cruz? I say yes.

The President-elect will also discuss the “proper role of government” and citizens, Spicer said.
Instead of JFK’s “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”, Trump will proclaim “ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for me.”
Kennedy announced the creation of the Peace Corps in his inaugural address. I expect Trump to announce the creation of the Trump Jugend.

Because he is a classy man - the likes of which we will never see again. His presser yesterday was also a thing to behold. I don’t know how we are going to survive this but I know there are folks much worse off than us who will not.

A “philosophical” document? Does he even know what that means?
“philosophy” comes from the Greek words meaning “lover of wisdom”. Trump has shown over and over again that he is the mortal enemy of wisdom. From climate change to vaccines to Russia he has proven himself a philophantacist - a lover of fantasy.

Oh FFS he hasn’t had a philosophical moment in his life.
That speech is ghost written by some hack who will later discovers he was stiffed by Trump when the speech flops and Donald claims the work was sub-par

Laugh.
If you start crying now, you may not be able to stop.
So here’s an image Trump has tweeted out showing him writing his address at his “Winter White House” (aka Mar-a-whatever). At least he says he’s writing the address. It’s become another instant classic, at any rate. I think it’s morbidly fascinating, like those posed pictures of corpses the Victorians would do.

It will be a document in the school of Playboy Philosophy. Trump has long been a student of the sage, Hugh Hefner. He read the magazine strictly for the articles, you understand.
I was alarmed listening to Michael Moore tell O’Donnell how DeVos will destroy public education. He also said trump would be cutting the inauguration day parade short so he could begin issuing executive orders. Maybe it’s best I avoid O’Donnell for the short term. I’d rather be uninformed than scared.
