Is it just me or... [View all]

When Trump read out that speech it sounded pretty threatening. But every minute that’s gone by since he gave it, the weaker it sounds.

“I’m the law and order president!” Yeah, sure you are. “I’ll deploy the military all over the country!” Yeah, no, you can’t do that. “This ends now!” Um, probably not.

The country is in bits right now, and the best he can do is puff out his chest and swing a Bible around in an effort to give his ever-shrinking base a woody.

Still pathetic!
