well, at least he's delivered a cease fire of sorts in Israel. maybe they can play soccer again, to justify that FIFA Peace prize, which honestly looks a lot like the Miami Beach Holocaust memorial.

Ooh, it does. The made-up award for Trump, complete with a matching medal and another gaudy hunk of gold for the wannabe dictator to bedazzle the Oval Office. *cringe*

Would we call 200 a "crowd"? ;) I definitely wouldn't, but that's possibly because I'm from Texas.

So it is impossible to feel sorry for the weak position he's in, since he caused it all to happen. Almost all of it was self-inflicted.

"Hoist with his own petard" and appears politically destined toward the fate of Ophelia. Alas, poor Yorick!

And scene.

His speechwriters will have carefully prepared things to say that other Republicans will find helpful in their midterm campaigns, but then Trump will just cut loose and rant off the top of his head how we're all smack dab in the middle of a "golden age" of prosperity for all.

Donny Two Dolls is back and perhaps confused about it being a "golden age" because he's bedazzled the Oval Office with so many golden pieces of gaudy looking adornments he appears to be overcompensating as per usual.

Isn't it very telling indeed that the felon who unilaterally tore down the East Wing in order to build a blinged-out gaudy ballroom rumored he wants named after himself and has commenced to turning the Oval into something resembling Jeffrey Epstein's living room (the pictures don't lie) is telling Americans that their children only need two dolls and five pencils. The total disconnect and sheer ignorance of it all is freaking hysterical.

And I doubt I am the only politically-aware citizen who tuned Trump out about eight years ago, as an inveterate liar and BS artist. His voice makes (made - years ago) my skin crawl, and his texts make (made - years ago) my eyeballs explode in pain. I avoid the pain by avoiding him and all first-person coverage of him.

So, whatever he says in this speech in Pennsylvania, I don't really care. God knows, I'll still hear enough about it in the secondary coverage that floods the news reports and political commentaries that I follow daily, including this one.

You're not writing for me, at this point, with this kind of detailed analysis of his expected performance. Not listening, not listening. /Rant over/
