Hearing of things
Trump did his West Point event today, the one that meant 1107 graduates had to leave isolation and return to West Point so that Bumbling Don could bumble through some words in front of them. As always when he reads a speech he sounded exhausted, clogged, sniffy, drunk.
Plus what he said was of course garbage.
“that many people have never even heard of,” he says with a tired sneer. He means he’s never heard of them, because he’s an ignorant lump of flesh. The ignorance of people who don’t care about anything outside of North Dakota says nothing whatever about the significance of a country or the people who live in it. It’s typical of Trump to think it does though.
Oops.
And it got worse.
People are speculating on the exact nature of his physical deterioration. Maybe it’s all the evil, maybe it’s poisoned his bloodstream.
If our people are threatened by what, protesters? There is more of a threat from the president than anything else in the world. No more helping other countries in the world with security or humanitarian efforts, let’s bring them home and use them on our own citizens. I wish I could forget what he said last week as fast as he does.
Maybe he’s the picture of Dorian Gray.
Looks like he’s drunk as a skunk to me, but I only watched a very short part of the MacArthur clip above, I can barely stand to see or hear him anymore.
Trump spouting about “ancient conflicts in faraway lands that many people have never even heard of” brings to mind Neville Chamberlain talking of “a quarrel in a far away country, between people of whom we know nothing” re the Czechoslovakia crisis in 1938. I wonder if Trump is conscious of the echo; presumably his speechwriter is.
I mean no disrespect to Chamberlain here, who unlike Trump was an honourable man albeit one who didn’t understand the evil of what he was up against. Trump is an evil we are up against.
Looks like his right shoulder is knackered. He can only lift the glass as far as his mouth but then has to use his left hand to give it an extra push. Maybe he’s full of painkillers, and that’s why his speech is (more) slurred (than usual)
Well at least now, this year’s Westpoint class knows a little of the history of McArthur and his obscure Philippines boasts.
Then he whines on Twitter that it was a steep slippery ramp with no handrail, and did you see how fast he ran at the end of it, just like a big boy? Unfuckingbelievable that this is the actual president of the USA.
I just saw that. Dear god.
