So the pundits are grading Trump on a curve... again.

"It's the best Trump can do"

So he stuck on script , read a speech, and he gets a fucking cookie?

even though he was wrong on immigration,
wrong on the economy,
wrong about economic growth,
wrong about unemployment
and dismissive of our position globally in the world.

Even though performance and politics are inextricably tied, cable news pundit's idea of critiquing Trump's performance is to praise him when he doesn't fling feces and hold a grudge fest against people who have "wronged him" -

this is really the new fucking standard for Trump right?

He received hundreds of free minutes of air time leading up to the election. Suddenly, after one speech, he's Presidential! What happened to these folks he just called "The enemy of the people"? Did they forget what he called them? If I didn't know any better I'd say this is one big set-up.

one speech where he doesn't drool all over himself, tho being wrong about everything, and he's "presidential"...

They KNOW he's lying about immigration, THEY KNOW PEOPLE ARE BEING DETAINED, and yet their take away is .. "His most speechy speech! A+ " !!!

And I told him just assume everything he says is either a lie, an exaggeration, a lie, pandering to racist, bigoted assholes that got him elected, a lie, political theater, and a lie.
