I don't think Trump's gonna make it [#trumpPressConference]

I missed the very begging of Trump walking out but I did see him lumber off stage today.
I actually noticed it before I read this short article. Yes, I know Palmer does go off many times but I agree, Trump was bad news today--. physically and mentally.


Palmer is spot on this time. He has a tendency for going over the top many times, but not this time!

I don’t think Trump’s gonna make it
Bill Palmer | 7:50 pm EDT March 25, 2020

Palmer Report » Analysis


Donald Trump lumbered onto the stage this evening, seemed short of breath from the start, got lost in a number of incoherent stories, yelled “fake news” at multiple reporters in the room, and then abruptly decided to lumber off the stage, telling Mike Pence to take over the rest of the press conference.


This came after Trump spent the day posting increasingly belligerent, bizarre, and braindead tweets attacking just about everyone he could think of. Trump’s day wasn’t productive. It wasn’t coherent. It wasn’t anything, beyond deeply concerning. It’s not just that Trump didn’t sound like his presidency is going to make it. It’s that he didn’t sound like a guy who’s going to make it, period.

Even when you set aside conversations about how much worse Donald Trump will screw this up before November, there’s the question of whether this is even sustainable for him. The stress of finally having to do a little bit of work in his otherwise lazy life, at a time when he’s clearly in poor health to begin with, just makes you wonder.

We’re already at the point where a struggling Donald Trump is walking out on his own press conferences. How many more days in a row can his own people put him out there without killing him? ................................................................

than before. To the point where looking down to read from his paper made it look like his eyes were totally *closed*, very creepy. Stuffy sounding, still short of breath after just a few sentences.

So tense and belligerent these past few days. Like a cornered animal, he's reaching out to strike in a one-last-gasp effort to save himself.

The pressure is on. The pressure is getting to him. It won't be long now.

And I think you are. His world is crumbling and there isn't a thing he can do about it except lash out like the miserable bastard that he is. I hope he strokes out one of these days soon.

... and now he realizes it’s a shit-market heading for a wide and deep shit-hole, full of deadly shit-vipers and shit-spiders.

Goodbye in January, shit-head!

bed all day plotting revenge? (Southern coming out)

BTW, have y'all invested in Roche and other biotech/big pharma companies? Remember, he gets a 12 hour head start on any economic news.

Disaster capitalism at its best
