1. He was looking in the mirror and hugging it as he said it to himself.

That's the rest of the story /s

2. Dirty Donny* is master of the republican Pity Party.

Move over Puddles

10. Puddles! I miss Puddles.

Wish I could miss that other guy.

3. create their own crisis and manufacture a hero who proclaims victory.

Magical thinking at its finest.

4. Where was Secret Service when this was happening?

Is he saying that they let stranger approach him backstage with no regard for his safety? And they let big strong guys who are crying make body contact with the President?

I smell a rat (and methinks it has cotton candy hair).

5. They were crying too. NT

6. Oh they probably know, it's the same hired guy with a different fake mustache or something

7. "I'm very loyal to my imaginary friends and always happy to see them again"

9. Fake news! Here's a picture of him.

15. How dare you: Harvey the pooka is REAL

but jaba the hut is fake as they come!

8. Sounds made up.

11. Note how he embellishes it a little every time.

He gets into it, adds little details, embraces the lie. He’s either getting off on getting away with it or he’s so into his own fiction he’s gotten maudlin about what a great, great man he is and halfway buys it himself.

12. show me the video

or it's just another lie

13. "And the tears were falling like rain. So I went back to my hotel."

14. Reminds me of Ron Reagan....discribing in detail scenes from movies as if fact.

His whole second term was clearly influenced by his coming Alzheimer's.

Now we have Trump's second half of first (and only) term. Get ready for some really serious bullshit.
