What is this, a fucking lounge act?

[LuckyCharms]

I turned on the TV for the first time today and there's Trump talking in the rose garden at the White House.

It sounds like he is doing a bad impersonation of some shitty lounge act.

They must have an applause light for the audience.

1. It absolutely boggles my mind

how anyone, ANYONE, with more than two brain cells, actually enjoys hearing this embarrassing idiot babble his repulsive nonsense.

[VOX]

5. This gets to me, too.

It’s beyond anything I’ve ever learned or known. 45 is like kryptonite to me, just toxically repulsive. I can’t possibly count the multiple ways in which this atavistic freak has embarrassed or enraged me. But what do his supporters see? How do they perceive him as something positive? Why are they so comfortable with an authoritarian state, when they’ve cried for decades about “less government”?

Simply possessing a grade-school-level sense of decency and fair play should inform one that things are going in a very dark, very wrong direction.

9. By and large, his supporters DON'T listen to him.

Come for the Stigginit, stay for the Con Job.

2. Is he selling a jazz and spoken word compilation through Time Life?

2 easy payments of $19.99?

3. He's talking to Pence Christians.

It’s to be expected. What you missed is that before Trump spoke Melania actually lead them in a prayer!

I changed the channel until it was over.

4. People say Melanie does a striptease show and lap dance for the Fascist Christians...

.... to warm up the crowd before trDump speaks.

6. The Trigger Presidency.

An article in the New Republic outlines Trump’s origins in the shock “comedy” of Howard Stern, Imus, etc. I’ve always thought Trump thinks of himself as a lounge act.

10. I call him a bad Insult Comic.

"Hey, i'm just sayin' what everyone's thinkin'!"

He is no Don Rickles.

[YOHABLO]

7. He's a very sick human. He thinks he's some really funny and likeable celebrity. The jokes on him.
