Discussion: WATCH: Trump Awkwardly Bops(?) On Stage With Carson To Cover Of 'Stand By Me'

Discussion for article #247639

I cringe when I see people dance badly so I won’t watch.

Is it as bad as I might think?

Carson was firm…no slo dancing, Donald.

Painfully awkward.

I was hesitant to click “Play” for exactly the same reason, but I figured I’d take the hit for you. Not as awful as it could have been - they’re mostly just moving a bit in time to the music.

But I think Ben E. King is going to rise from his grave and come back to kill the singer.

Oh, yeah, this is going to bring out all the millennials to vote for Trump. What next, Sarah Palin singing “The Greatest Hits of Aretha Franklin”?
I haven’t seen anything this white since the Great Bllizzard of 1967 when I was 11 years old in Chicago.

What, they didn’t get Melania to work the pole in the background?

I believe his exact words were, “No tongue!”

“Sweet Fancy Moses!” That, ladies and germs, is the perfect encapsulation of the entire Trump campaign.

Sure, this seems innocent enough, but next thing you know you’re slumped over dead on the toilet.

FOR GOD’S SAKE DO NOT LOOK

OK, just warning TLQ there in case curiosity threatened to overwhelm good sense. Yeah, it’s bad. Like Nixon-level awkwardness around other people bad. He radiates unease and a desire to be elsewhere.

I’m not sure which is worse, if that guy is a regular person who thought it wise to showcase his minimal singing skills in front of a captive audience or if he’s paid to sing like that. Either way, Donald deserved someone a lot classier. Was Kid Rock not available?

Either way, I’m glad to see Trump continue to dance to the beat of his own drum, since he definitely couldn’t hear the one in the song.

And so begins the trump/Carson slash fiction

And why was the song asking Donald to stand by him? Shouldn’t it have been asking the audience to stand by Donald? Or is he such a narcissist that he made them change it to show that they needed him more than he needed them? I think I just answered my own question.

actually, that was the one concession she managed to get into the prenup…

…“whereas, heretofore referred to as the spouse will be considered now, and for the entirety of the marriage contract, “off the pole” until such time formal certificate of divorce is granted”

I’ll bet she goes to bed every night reading that prenup to make sure she doesn’t fuck it up the next day.

Don’t know who the singer was, but man, that was bad.

I see Dr. Carson did a small rendition of his Stevie Wonder impression to that song. As for The Rump, he seems to only know one potential dance move. He does what can only be seen as a cold stiff swaying back and forth. The man can’t even clap to a beat with any sense of timing. Pitiful.

Oh, gawd. I tried. I really tried to watch the whole thing, but I have food on my stomach that I’d like to keep down.
