I don’t like watching SotU when i like the president, and doesn’t watch it this year, either. But my husband did, and said Trump looked pretty with it and sounded coherent throughout. ---

> [@doreen](#): > > Most of his bizarre comments seem to be when he either is answering questions ( that he might not have a prepared answer for) or when he goes off script. I often notice him go off script when there’s a non-superlative word and he just can’t leave that alone. ie “They said we did a good job [eyes move away from the teleprompter]…a good job, we did a great job, some say it was the best job ever [rambles for a few minutes] and no one ever thanked me for it”. Similarly if said non-superlative word is directed at someone else. This is even more noticeable if said non-superlative word is used to compliment anyone other than him. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Serious question: If trump is so decrepit that he can barely put two words together, how did he manage the hours of the SotU address? I thought he was on the teleprompter most or all of the speech. It’s when he starts ad-libbing that he loses it. ---

Let’s not forget that Trump accused Biden of using ‘performance enhancing drugs,’ which is rock solid evidence that the orange asshole is gorked out of his gourd on amphetamines. ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > It’s when he starts ad-libbing that he loses it. Uhm… (ahem) friends tell me that a regular side affect of talking amphetamines, ephedrine, and the various other chemicals in that class cause both over confidence and incoherence when speaking.. Seeing as Trump is fairly obviously down that path, can someone whisper in his ear, the sweet words “3,4 Methylenedioxymethamphetamine” so we can all let others go back to normal while DJT sits on what is left of the Rose Garden, zonked on MDMA and engaging with plant matter just marginally more intelligent than he is. If we can’t have that, what can we have? He’d still be grinning that grin (or grimace) , but at least it would be for harmless reasons, rather than malicious glory in cruelty to “others”. ---

I think these plants and all plants are a whole hell of a lot smarter than trump. ---
