Who was it that jacked up the Dotard? Short days ago, he was acting like an indifferent jerk.

[raccoon]

Well, OK, he didn't have to act.

But it's as if someone told him, "We need to do some damage control about your image during this mess. Some good PR." IOW, for him to come across as caring. (A labor of Hercules for him.)

Whodunit?

1. Whoever is controlling his meds.

[Loki Liesmith]

2. Tucker Carlson

3. I'm guessing the MAGATS told his "people"

hey... y'all be handin out some of that sweet fed money... you better hand some to us you want our vote again.

[Raven]

4. Somebody told him he was going to kill off his base of fat white men. n/t

[UTUSN]

5. Certainly not Javanka with their own bad press. Probably the experts in the back.

Or Hope HICKS? Or some p.r. type who told him it was a golden opportunity to show his "manager" side.

[marble falls]

6. Don't you fucking buy into it for a minute. Wait until tomorrow.

[llmart]

7. +1

Exactly. He read off a script written by someone else and now you're going to get all gushy about him?

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Tomorrow? He's back to being a jagoff again today.

Yesterday must have been pure hell for him. Sure hope so.

[Totally Tunsie]

9. Once he opened his eyes and realized he had no control of CV,

he was forced to come out of the dark and join the "concerned" faction. His bravado didn't work and now he needed to find a positive stance to shore up his image.

In the video of today's presser, there is a segment where he says “I’ve always known this is a real — this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." Revisionist history, once again.

[Aquaria]

10. Jacked up? Don't get my hopes up.

To some of us out here, like veterans, jacked up means thrown to the ground, cuffed, and a semi-automatic rifle at your head. And then you get hauled off to corrective custody. One that you might as well get used to, because your conviction is a certainty.

[Turbineguy]

11. Somebody told him

that the virus would kill of his base.

He sure as hell ain't doing this for us.

[marlakay]

12. Today was first time I thought he looked

Like a president should. I asked my husband who slapped him up?

[Talitha]

13. He's scared shitless of Joe Biden and suddenly wants to look 'presidential'.

[doc03]

14. Maybe he was warned about a 25th Amendment solution nt
