Trump to deliver a primetime address on Thursday, 7/16 at 9pm eastern

Meanwhile, Fox News says “seems reasonable”.

The on-air Fox News will be backing his claims, in a safe way to avoid more lawsuits, within minutes.

At this point few people are interested in watching his zero credibility speeches where he makes the same unfounded claims everyone has heard him make before. I hear Trump is complaining about the networks that didn’t air his speech live. Wants their licenses taken away.

I heard one commentator (?) really picking it apart. I was in another room and thought it was nice to hear someone speaking truthfully. I was pretty surprised to find it was Fox I was listening to.

Seemed apparent to me that he was drugged up. As I think others have mentioned, he looks like he has meth jaw. He also reeks of desperation; I could smell it from here.

No doubt we will be getting a big long “truthie” on that subject during the night.

Notice the way he suddenly starts shouting in this clip when he gets to the words “burn bags”.

And in this clip he’s all over the place. He can’t control his volume and he can barely keep his eyes open.

Here he keeps saying “balance” instead of “ballots”.

I don’t think Reagan was this bad at his worst. But then again Reagan had a family that loved him.

“And hopefully there will be no corrupt mail in ballots.”

trump forgets that he uses mail in ballots. :weary_cat: :roll_eyes:

I’m not seeing those things. I mean, I see a moron, but I’m not seeing the things you are mentioning. I would love to see his decline as you are pushing, but I don’t see it. Maybe others will disagree…but I see normal Trump.

It took me a little longer than most to really grasp how messed up he is. I’ve always known he’s a vile, stupid thing, and I’ve always found him physically repulsive, no matter what age. But now his piggy eyes seem emptier(?) recently, and his puckered asshole of a mouth seems more animated than usual. That and the meth jaw and inability to modulate his voice, like @Smapti shared. I can’t not see it.

Same here. I mean, no one would love more than me to see him slur, blink stupidly, drool, pause for an uncomfortable length of time, and otherwise screw up.

But let’s be real, folks. Wishful thinking gets us nowhere.

And Trump makes more money than Calvin Coolidge…put together!

FTR, here’s the Washington-Coolidge coin;

Honestly kinda classy. Washington is in the foreground with Coolidge in the background, and they both have the same kind of noble countenance as if to say “I am doing my best to live up to the example of my forebears”.

Contrast the Trump coin with his gross scowl that just screams “EVERYONE LOOK AT ME I AM AMERICA AND YOU ARE ALL MY INFERIORS”.

I am sure that some Trumpists will buy these as treasured keepsakes.

I am equally sure that non-Trumpists will use them as rifle targets.

They won’t, because that would require buying one in the first place. Paying money for stuff you hate just so you can performatively shoot it is more a MAGA thing.

I’ll buy one and drill a singular hole through the head. For keychain purposes.

Would that be through the right ear where he was supposedly shot?

I thought the theme of the speech was that although bad things happened during his first term, he himself was blameless, because he had been misled by the evil “deep state”.

I laughed.

I live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This is one of the most critical areas in any Federal election. We are already getting election advertisements. One of them is from the Republicans encouraging us to vote by mail.

Most likely reason: The local GOP realizes that a significant percentage of older folks either vote by mail or may stay home (especially if the weather looks to be bad). Older folks tend to vote conservative.
CT reason: So they can make the vote come out however they want.

He’s clearly setting the stage for undermining the elections.
