He’s a moron, but we all know that.

I was listening on the Stephanie Miller show, and thought I clearly heard him in his opening sentence say"80" dead..must have misheard ? All that sniffing..lines lines lines yeah.

the "80" alerted me to listen real close because I thought he would say what you heard.

before he opened his mouth.

trump is constitutionally incapable of admitting that he is wrong. plus, he is a white supremacist who brought nazis into the white house the same day he moved in. he's sick and hateful and probably takes glee in mass shootings that are traced directly back to his hateful propaganda.

i didnt see the whole thing but watching a clip and see his so very wooden delivery, and it screamed at me that they were trying to let their followers know that he did not mean the words he was reading.
that he was bravely falling on his sword to keep the lid on the plan.

somebody please prove me wrong.

The flat affect almost seems to be for the purpose of telegraphing to his cult members that he was being forced to give the speech and didn't mean a word of it.

Like Cory Booker just said, it was "bullshit soup."

I immediately switched it off when the reporter (Jim Sciutto?) on scene said The President just delivered "an emotional" address. As if the constant sniffling was due to holding back the tears. CNNs' daytime 'talent" is rubbish.
