Donald Trump says he is going to give an address on prime time tv on December 17, 2025. Are you going to watch to see what he says?

So far the replies all seem to be of the variety “I’d rather get a colonoscopy / root canal / stick needles in my eyes / rip my fingernails out”. Perfectly understandable. But I’m going to go against the grain, here.

A part of me would very much like to witness him mentally unraveling live before the American people. Yes, I’m sure he’ll be pumped full of Adderall and whatever other cocktail of drugs can temporarily put off the sundowning of an advanced dementia patient, but drugs can only do so much. His public events have been limited lately, and the ones he has attended have been rambling shit-shows of crazy-- even by trumpian standards. These events though, like a rally or a Christmas address, while public and reported on by the press, don’t have nearly the exposure a prime-time address to the public will have.

What bingo-card insanity of Peruvian snake stories, hatred of Somalian immigrants, venom against his enemies, melting magnets, cancerous windmills, denial of inflation as a liberal hoax, rhapsodizing about the penis size of famous people he admires, and calling out women who look as hot as his daughter, all sprinked with S-bombs and F-bombs, might he unleash tonight?

If he totally loses the plot and has to be gently but firmly led away by an aide or two after 20 or 30 minutes of nonsensical rambling, I think I will be a little sad that I only got to hear of it second-hand.
