Several days in and it still sounds like a cry for help

1. He can't think in a structured way. His brain is fractured.

[Xipe Totec]

7. I've heard it described as what happens when a word salad has a heart attack and falls down stairs.

[Rorey]

13. That's great. I'll probably borrow it.

[sarge43]

15. Then it imploded and fell into the bog. n/t

[malaise]

20. DUzy

[Chicagogrl1]

22. OMG

[CaptYossarian]

14. At least he's cut back on the Adderrall.

I noticed some periods in that paragraph, instead of it being a painfully long run-on sentence.

[earthside]

2. Trump is a spoiled brat.

He always has been.

His entire life he has whined and moaned and someone has stepped in to rescue him when things got difficult -- eg., his father.

This is his cry, his whine for something to be a miracle to save him.

Absolutely ... it is a cry for help.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Yes, it does sound like a cry for help, from everyone standing to the back of rump during his...

idiotic conferences. They are muttering silently 'God help us!' as he rants and raves about whatever is on his mind at the moment.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Flailing. And today will be ass-kissing cabinet display instead of self-ass-kissing briefing. nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. This will be t-RUMP'S Gettysburg Address moment for all of HISTORY.

[klook]

18. Engrave it on the base of his statue at the Trump Memorial,

which will be erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as a reminder to all Americans to never elect such a corrupt and moronic president again.

[Jim__]

6. Bookmarking for quick reference. - n/t

[scarletwoman]

8. Not a cry for help coming from trump,

it merely inspires cries for help from those of us who listened to his incoherent rant.

[ooky]

9. How is he still the president?

McConnell? Pence?

[CaptYossarian]

16. Large butterfly net?

[LuckyLib]

10. Waited for someone to stand up and scream " Enough!"

He is barking mad, and we’re captives.

[rampartc]

11. trump is a master, but other politicians (palin) do this as well

this rambling stream of consciousness can be interpreted, by those so inclined, to mean whatever they want. salesmen and con men (like trump) so this as well.

[yardwork]

12. I think that fear essentially runs Trump's life.

Under the bragging of the narcissist is the fundamental fear that he's a complete failure.

Which he is. His behavior makes his fear come true.

[Scarsdale]

17. He thought being president

would be easy. Everyone else does the work, while he golfs and holds rallies. For 3 years, he got away with that, with added bonuses of the emoluments clause rejection. Money pours into his coffers. He is King of America. Then came the virus, which he ignored, but those around him did, too. Unfortunately, the people who normally would have raised the alarm had been disbanded, so the unqualified idiots in his administration did not understand the whole danger. The gop knew he was unqualified right from the start. None of them expected something such as this, so here we are. The results from having the gop smirking along with this idiot. Thousands dead, thousands hospitalized. Workplaces shuttered. Lines of citizens looking for food. THIS is ALLL on tRump and the asses in the gop. Anyone who votes for any republican is a traitor to this country. They do not care about average working people. Why is nobody looking into Kushner stockpiling PPE supplies, after hijacking the shipments? He is NOT an elected official. He is a slumlord with delusions of grandeur.

[rurallib]

19. I think he lso believes that he can make miracles happen

That a prayer or some crazy, crazy idea will suddenly fix any problem no matter how bad.

Seems to me that the idea of praying for a miracle rather than doing any hard work has become the stock and trade of the right in America and around the world.

[maxsolomon]

21. It sounds like spitballing. It sounds like he's riffing, filling time.

Since his prime goal is to occupy media space, he needs content. Since he is a malignant narcissist, he sees no reason to be circumspect in his speech.

Whoever "Bill" is, he sure caved to President Sociopath's off-the-wall ideas. "Yes, we'll test that, sir. Great idea."

[central scrutinizer]

23. Unbelievably

My fundy tea party cultist sister sent that transcript to me as proof that the lame stream media was distorting Dear Leader’s words. Her subject line “Trump never said to drink bleach”. That’s just haters who only watch CNN or MSNBC. So, I responded:

“You’re right, he didn’t say drink it but to inject it. Also called embalming“ ... no response yet.

I usually respond to her idiocy with, “ does this excuse his two plus months of doing nothing?” I think that is the crucial thing to pound on. Especially since he said, “I knew it would be a pandemic before anybody.”
