President Donald Trumps high-energy delivery of fabricated numbers drew laughter and applause from social media users Wednesday night.
Two minutes in and weve already hit 11 on the bonkers scale, Nichols continued, adding: Im very glad that all the networks are carrying this, people need to know their president is a raving narcissist.

Another Democratic strategist, Simon Rosenberg, posted on Bluesky that Trump is so clearly insane. Its a national emergency, after earlier posting that Trump was Lying. Its all lies.
Former Chicago Tribune Editor Mark Jacob, meanwhile, dismantled Trumps fast-paced delivery of numbers, saying on Bluesky that its a rhetorical mistake for Trump to throw so many numbers at people. Its encouraging to see him screw up that way.

(76,754 posts)I also think his masters have told him it's time to step down.
After all, nobody can figure out how to apply his orange make up to his pale white scalp.

(19,948 posts)he's always imagined himself to be.
Reality has always told the truth, though, and unless you're viewing him with Trump Sycophant Goggles (patent pending) you can see right through him.

Trump is a dinosaur. Whatever he learned in his youth as a rich preppie he has stuck with for the duration. The 'cool' hairstyle, the frat boy tan, the dance moves. None of it changes for him. He never matures.

Maybe Krasnov was thinking of the hearing impaired when he gave his speech?

He should have used a folding card table and 3 cups. An endless torrent of lies and bullshit.

(1,569 posts)Yes Virginia, Trump Derangement does exist, but only in the hearts of those who rally behind Emperor Hyperbole the II.
To follow such policy is not in the range of normal American political behavior.
Derangement is their entire brand.

(17,407 posts)Generally avoid watching Trump speak, but I listened to a replay of this speech just to see what all the fuss was about. After a couple of minutes I found myself fast-forwarding a lot, the increasing sense of disgust and loathing was too much.

(12,477 posts)He goes from reading a grocery list of Biden's administration's imaginary faults to shouting about the things he did to our country but blames others for. He ends by yelling out his gas lighting technique and telling us prices are down, inflation has stopped, and we all have high paying jobs.
I wish I had brought booze to drink every time he blames someone else for what he did. Then he ends up wishing us all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and God bless America with the nastiest scowl on his face. He cold have just been swearing at us for all the meanness in his face. Like a kid told to do something they don't want to do. His words said one thing his face said "if I could kill you all, without killing myself too, I would."
Then that middle part where he claims he's going to give every service member a $1000. (That should buy a couple pounds of meat.) That money ain't going nowhere except into pedo Trump's pockets.

(13,111 posts)I cant stand to watch him or even listen to his voice. The toxic poison that spews from his mouth is completely repulsive.
And never forget, Republicans knowingly and willingly did this to all of us.

I don't know how these State TV people spout such nonsense without a belly laugh. Guess those phenomenal paychecks keep any laughing, chuckling, smirking at bay.
We're living through surreal times!

(28,579 posts)From Wikipedia - Pressure of speech (or pressured speech) is a speech fast and frenetic (i.e., mainly without pauses), including some irregularities in loudness and rhythm or some degrees of circumstantiality; it is hard to interpret and expresses a feeling/affect of emergency.[1][2] It is mainly a neuropsychological symptom of specific mental disorders, such as bipolar disorders, thought disorders, and stress-related disorders among others.[citation needed]
It would be interesting to know what his adrenalin level was last night.

(816 posts)The speech was remarkable for its gattling gun delivery and with very few deviations from the teleprompter. This was so unlike his other recent speeches which showed disordered thinking. It was an extraordinary accomplishment for someone with such a failing brain. He had to have had some help.
