OK, that was the weirdest press conference I have ever seen

[Recursion]

I'm not even sure what to make of this.

2. He's putting his greatest enemy, the press, on full display.

3. That boy ain't right.

Will his supporters ever start noticing that he's not behaving like any kind of normal president (or for that matter, any kind of normal person doing any kind of job)? Are they so invested in his presidency and their belief that he'll actually do something positive for them that they are either denying or ignoring his really abnormal and weird behavior? Or do they think it's perfectly OK for him to rant, pout, blame and whine like an angry toddler?

I'd like to think that if either of our candidates - Hillary or Bernie - had won the presidency but then started giving press conferences like that, we'd all be thinking, "WTF? There's something wrong. He/she needs to be looked at in case there's some medical problems because that's messed up." But the Trump supporters and, worse, the GOPers in Congress either haven't noticed anything wrong, or are pretending he's just fine while choosing to ignore the obvious fact that he's not.

4. Yep

5. they themselves are far from normal

they wouldn't know normal

the scary thing to consider is he is making press conferences entertaining and interesting and a whole new demographic is watching them that probably never has

6. Presidents giving press conferences on important issues

shouldn't have to be "entertaining and interesting"; they should be dignified, serious, and above all, truthful. I hope the new demographic who might be watching these shit shows are aware that they are not normal but are cause for real alarm. This petulant, unhinged man-baby has access to the nuclear launch codes.

9. they aren't aware of that

given that they most likely never watched them before their favorite reality tv star held them. My mother, for the love of god, is watching them and I can assure you THAT never happened before. They don't have a clue what it 'should' be like.

7. So a fucking psycho is ok as long as people are entertained? WTF????

[starshine00]

10. those people voted the fucking psycho entertainer into office

I'm sure you are smart enough to understand I am trying to see this from their point of view...they are not going to see Trump being Trump and acting like he did on his show as a negative.

8. Was it worse than his rally rants?
