And fuck the lazy journalists who aren't using their own ears and brains to realize what crap Trump was spouting. The rest of us know very well. And we're resisting.

All it took for that to happen was for him to get his brains blown out. Had MLK lived he would have been reviled to this day by that crowd.

I was obvious that the marching orders were given. If he wasn't his usual first class asshole then he was unifying the country.

Saw the same shit in the election cycle. Turned off the TV and went out to dinner.

He basically said Dems have no ability to change things and Trump is here for 8 years no matter what they do or how things go for Trump.

Again: Go fuck yourself you fucking yellow bellied FRAUD.

He's practically orgasming on set.

I'll never listen to another word the man says and when people forget about it here and start talking about how great Van Jones is ill be rolling the tape on this shit show.

He was reading from a freakin' teleprompter and always sounds more subdued when he's reading as opposed to speaking off the cuff.

it will be back to the same old. this has been trump for 16 months now. he puts on a front of professionalism when he needs to and panders to his base and trolls his opponents the rest of the time. Yes he didnt sound like an internet troll tonight, congrats. give it a few days after he isnt reading a speech and we all know what it will be back to.

There are people in the wings just waiting to take your place so you better make nice with networks and say the right things. TWP and the NYT and the rest of big print media is all we have right now to do the dirty work. Forget cable news. It is in the entertainment business.

so, for now, I agree with you. I love the man and can't imagine what he said to get this kind of response, so guess I'll have to watch.

...a tad. That's all. He is still the same LIAR, CHEAT and THIEF, and an admitted SERIAL SEXUAL PREDATOR that he always was. Nothing has changed, except for the delivery of the con. This is to be expected.
