Wait. What you posted–that was the whole thing from Trump?
Expect more of Two Scoops reading from TelePrompter scripts written by others, thereby avoiding any nattering-nabob questions from the media. A blatant attempt to cover-up his failing, Alzheimer’s driven verbal shortcomings. That and being a major Dorkasaurus as well!
Yeah, sure. How do we know this wasn’t really the “audioanimatronic” version from Disney? Oh, and by the way…
Correlation does not imply causation
History repeats… first as tragedy, then as farce.
I wonder how many takes and edits it took before they got a film they could release without any mental lapses or angry tirades.
Any bets on the likelihood of him actually making it to his scheduled physical next week? I think I’ll take the under.
President Max Headroom
It’s like when grampa figures out how to use face time. He’s going to do this a lot now.
Something has to blow up with Trump soon. There are too many events happening all around him, nearly all to his dislike, for him to contain himself much longer. I don’t mean opening up all waters to drilling, or suing someone, or effing with the ACA. He’s going to do something stupid and harmful and vindictive and damaging, largely unrelated to any policy. Fire Mueller. Fire Rosenstein. Launch a nuke. Put a naval embargo of N. Korea in place. Something catastrophic and ill-advised in the extreme. Not in a calculated way to divert from his problems, but just some primal acting out, like a wounded bear killing a park ranger. It’s coming.
From something I visit often to recenter myself and my understanding of where we might be heading, 538’s 14 Versions Of Trump’s Presidency, From #MAGA To Impeachment…
5 . Trump cedes authority. I rarely see this possibility discussed, but it has several historical precedents among presidents who found the job mentally or physically overwhelming. The key aspect is that within a year or two, Trump would have effectively relinquished day-to-day control of the government to Vice President Mike Pence and to his Cabinet, instead focusing on the more ceremonial aspects of the presidency and perhaps exploiting it for personal enrichment. There are several variations on this scenario, which range from Trump being surprisingly popular as a sort of celebrity-in-chief to Trump largely withdrawing from the public spotlight.
Low-energy, won’t even show up in person? Just transmitting staccato televised communiqués from time to time, but otherwise mostly withdrawing from public life? Sounds a little familiar…
“We have a message from a special guest that I’d like to share with you.”
This show sucks!
Can somebody in the front row flip the channel to a Jerry Springer rerun?
He just knows he isn’t as sprightly as Dubya, and would have no chance to dodge the incoming shoe.
It will be eating him up inside and adding to the cray-cray this week. No way is he happy about this.
Trump is dead and gone. Or babbling mindlessly and licking mashed potatoes off his little fists. These videos are old ones they are going to use until they get caught.
It’s like that guy who pushed his dead father in an office chair to the bank to cash his SSI check.
It certainly had what I don’t think I entirely imagined to be a forced, strained quality, like a drunk person over-enunciating to keep from slurring.
Was that supposed to reassure the country that Donnie’s mental health is good and he’s paying attention to the country’s needs? Ummmmm… yeah.
Reagan at the end of his second term looked better.
So Trump is now a “special guest” in the White House? Well, I guess that’s close to accurate because he spends so much time at his golf resorts. Alas, he can’t go home again peacefully because the people in NYC dislike him so.
I have seen everything now. Truly the end of days. This is just bizarre.
Special guest star: donald trump!
Did they spell his name right in the credits?
What on Earth is this nonsense? Huckabee Sanders could barely keep it together when she introduced him. Her expressions are telling, calling this Admin a dumpster fire is the understatement of the decade.
Ala the movie, Waking Ned Devine.
