Whichever speech-writer penned those words got the tone all wrong. It doesn't sound like a dumb 12 year old, which is Trump's usual style. It sounds like a 14 year old unsuccessfully imitating Martin Luther King.
Pathetic all 'round.
I’ve been told he has prosthesis to cover the roof of his mouth because he has a hole in it from years of cocaine use.
So maybe it’s just fatigue or the prosthesis slipping again
But he's actually reading the monitor and speaking in complete sentences.
I am - angry.
That he didn't show his true, shambling, demented self.
I wonder ho much Adderall they shoved him on stage?
Complete honestly - HE SHOULD HAVE DONE WORSE.
We NEEDED him to.
His base just got revitalized.
Doesn’t matter. This is still filthy and disgusting
Other countries have Epstein mentions under scrutiny, under investigation, under arrest and these mf’s keep cheering for the king of child rapists. Absolutely disgusting
Oh, none of that has gone away.
But the American people NEEDED to see him as he REALLY IS -
Weak
Feeble
Mentally Ill
And his handlers somehow managed to prop him up, and -
and -
People will now have reason to remain blinkered to seeing him for the madman he is.
This is not good.
This is BAD.
I know. But nothing hits harder when these ppl are directly negatively impacted by this pud. Wanted to see some sports venue type chants while being cheered to throw him off
I think there's a lot to be said for the Nuremberg Effect, too. He was SWIMMING on the waves of slobbering applause from the republicans who were giving him standing o's every fucking 90 seconds or so.
I am not ashamed to say I wanted him to tank.
I am deeply depressed that he didn't.
There he stands
not in a cell,
but at the heart of American democracy,
giving a speech.
I will never understand it.
NEVER.
America, you didn't just bend your Constitution.
You folded it, pocketed it, and walked away.
I refused to watch but as I look at these clips, why does it appear in almost all of them that he is slumping, and clutching and grasping the podium like an emotional support animal? Too old and frail to stand up straight???
I wish we could focus on the lies. He gave a very strong speech. It was complete garbage, but it was strong. If we can’t at least admit that, we prove everyone right who says we have TDS. Unhelpful.
The GOP tried to give him the tawdry rally of his youth. But it just wasn't enough to overcome his dementia decline. Trump's poor ego, will be in such a state tomorrow.
I kept having to turn up my volume as he got progressively quieter throughout his speech. (I was only listening to see if I could fill my SOTU bingo card - ticked off almost every square).
Little sleepy baby has been practicing standing up and holding on to things AND his nap is overdue AND he’s due for a diaper change. Poor little baby!😔
