Did you see Trump's speech to House Republicans yesterday?

I didn't see the whole thing live as I was in a bay in the ER with no TV. I saw many news hits on it last night though while I was up pretty much all night. The address was supposed to lay out a coherent policy for this year's midterm elections but of course Trump and "coherent" are not two words that ever belong together. He was supposed to talk about Venezuela, Greenland, policy objectives, etc. Yeah nope. It seems to have been a 90 minute montage of his usual, tired, and insane bits including lies about the 2020 election being stolen, transgender athletes, his 3 cognitive tests (not the flex he thinks it is), Melania not liking his dancing, the January 6 riot lies, a 3rd impeachment if GOP loses the midterms, "the weave", etc. The man went totally rogue from the scripted speech on the Teleprompter and his mind seems to be stuck in this neverending loop of Festivus Airing of Grievances. Aside from him looking like a clown with that stupid and horribly applied makeup he made all sorts of crazy faces. MAGA is trying to say that the images are AI but sadly they are not. America should feel so proud to have such a man as our president. ETA--I do plan to watch the full speech this morning so I will update if I see anything noteworthy.

Normal?? You mean every leader of a country doesn’t go on insane rants that make no sense and dye their face orange??

@LadyDuck He doesn't lead. He is a dictator. He won't admit it, but that's what he is.
