I'm super excited for Melania Trump's upcoming 2 or 3 major speeches!

Apparently in an interview with Donald and Melania today, the interviewer asked if Melania will be more involved over these last days. She said yes, Donald said yes, then gushed about what a wonderful speaker Melania is. Then in an instant, he committed her to 2 or 3 major speeches. She looked shocked and said "oh". It was clear to me the speeches had not been discussed between the couple before that interview. I almost felt sorry for her, then reminded myself she is a willing participant in Donald's world of insanity.

They weren't able to make copies, but they remember a few key phrases from them:

Four score and seven years ago....


Ask not, what you can do for your country....


The only thing you have to fear....is fear itself!


They sound like real barn-burners!!!

7. It's yet another example of his impulsiveness

Donald Trump has consistently said things that were contradictory to his previous statements. This illustrates that he has no core values and merely says whatever pops into his head in the moment. Mrs. Trump's reaction illustrates exactly the point Avalux makes: she didn't expect this tidbit from The Donald. Once again, he demonstrates his lack of respect for anyone other than himself.

More than anything, his lack of impulse control is a really good reason to not vote for him.
