UPDATE: Surprise! Trump's 2020 campaign committee tried to fundraise off of Rump's
I watched it on MSNBC, knowing they'd do a follow-up analysis. I have seen clips of Trump at rallies and I know his rambling, all-over-the-map rants, and this was different. He read woodenly from the teleprompter, pretending he has feelings and empathy, relating that he held the hands of crime victims. Of course, he didn't say that he has to write “be sad” on his hand when he meets people he's supposed to be conforting.
ReplyDeleteSincere? Genuine? Honest? Triple nope. He made no case and convinced no one of the need for his wall. He was there spouting lies, as usual, but without his usual level of frenzied raving. He was told to act “presidential” and he tried to, but he just looked like a stuffed, suit-wearing dummy. Ugh.
