Ha, I knew before clicking what it would be…
ETA: carrps and I had eerily similar responses…
I don’t know if this was today, and I don’t have the full context, but Trump looks and sounds pretty muddled here as he makes remarks at an honor guard review. He stumbles over “lawmakers”, then seems to go off in a direction only he understands, rambling about 98 or 90…something
Yesterday I was saying he seemed more coherent. Now I’m back in the “something ain’t right” camp.
WHOA! I never listen to him. I don’t watch any news on TV, and if he comes on NPR in the car I turn off the radio for 20 seconds or so. I can honestly say I have not heard him speak since the debates with Hillary.
This was way weird.
“Lawmerkers”?? He’s speaking very slowly and hesitantly and his voice is a bit scratchy.
Looking at the Twitter comments. It certainly could be xanax.
Another Twitter comment: “And to think, people were questioning Mueller’s mental capacity for not being able to remember specifics about his 400+ page report.” No kidding.
The 90, 98, or what? thing was about how many votes the new Secretary of Defense got for his confirmation.
I’m not totally sure I am onboard with assuming a neurological condition here. He’s not smart, he’s a bad public speaker even on his best day, he’s slowing down because of his age, and he has serious personality disorders. Those are all major issues, but not the same as dementia or whatever is being implied.
He also said something that sounded like “combat infantroopen badge” .
To be fair, he probably just stumbled over “Combat Infantryman Badge”, getting his wires crossed with “infantryman”, which is not that common a word outside the military, and thinking “troop” belonged in there somewhere.
Wow. How long before the POTUS shits his pants at the podium?
Won’t matter if he’s wearing his Depends.
No, seriously. I wonder if his people near the podium have a protocol, maybe code named “brown dog” where they’ve discussed how to handle the misfortune of a presidential anal sphincter breach. It happens to people his age, especially when neurological capacity is declining.
In their shoes, I’m thinking, yell, “gun”, then hold your nose and get POTUS to a secure men’s.
He’ll blame Obama.
Mitch McConnel, when asked for comment, will go off on a rant about “socialists”
Fox News personalities will do a piece on the lovely scent, color and texture of the Trump feces.
I was being serious.
Obama did it first! Remember that tan suit? It wasn’t tan in the morning! Why was it OK when Obama shit himself but not when Trump does EXACTLY THE SAME THING???
and the latest news: Trump speaks in front of a fake seal that mocks him.
This appears to be a goof by one of his supporters, who pulled the image off the internet without noticing the fakery.
Trump’s behavior is so bad it’s hard for me to think of anyone I’ve met who acts that way. His behavior is so far out of norm for an adult it’s just pathetic.
Pathetic would be the right word because if you knew someone IRL who was that far gone you’d feel sorry for him and his family.
Nearly half of the country are cheering this behavior. And it seems the rest of us sit in stunned silence. Like really finding a turd in the punchbowl. It’s another abomination every day. Can’t keep up with it.
Well, no. Not exactly. I, myself, am stunned that there doesn’t seem to be a dam thing we can do about it. Used to be that voting counted. Not so much anymore (doesn’t keep me from voting of course).
I do hope the republicans finally get their final Bonnie and Clyde moment. Not with bullets, but with real votes. Bring the whole republican crime spree to a screeching smoking halt. The End.
Mush-[del]brain[/del] mouth is is at it again.
If My Beloved caught me talking like that(and I was’t drunk or high as a kite) she would immediately call 911. How brain-damaged does he have to appear to be before the Vice President steps up and does his moral/ethical duty and steps in? Has it gotten to the point that, if he got up there and drooled uncontrollably while attempting to talk, they would just let him continue?
Trump has hereby ordered American companies to find sources other than China, because he’s a sane and sound one. I don’t know what it will take for Trump supporters to realize they were bamboozled.
From a transcript of Wednesday’s Lawrence O’Donnell (about 2/3 of the way down):
“No serious defenses” other than the (alternative) fact that he’s The Chosen One.
Chosen by Loki, perhaps?
