Oh, and did anyone see the readout/rundown of his rally speech
Thread follows on from that tweet.
I’m sorry, but the guy is either unhinged or so pathologically unfocused as to be entirely unfit to do the job (not that that’s a huge leap, admittedly)

It's like watching someone doing standup that is painfully unfunny. That's because that's what you're watching. The audience eats it up.
They're watching a different movie. Interesting times.
you shut up and sit down paul!
Pretty much how I feel. And a quick read.

To be fair to Donald, the President of the United States of America, he slapped down Hilary and the entire Democrat party with absolute ease, plus everybody else that's dared step in his path. The man can't be that stupid.
These are facts, no?

His support base is largely hateful, selfish idiots who have no humanity (scattered with a few who now have remorse for voting for him). They elected him, with help from Russia. And Trump is ineptly drunk on the power they give him, which explains why he keeps doing rambling bizzare campaign-style rallies for no apparent reason 1.5 years into his presidency. But certainly some fault lies with the Democrats who put up a weak, unelectable candidate in Clinton who provided no helpful message to potential voters in several important midwestern/rustbelt states except "I'm not Trump." There is no question that the Democrats underestimated their base. Trump was the perfect stormtrooper, but that doesn't make him smart or competent.
Donald Trump’s enforcers have lost the right to civil courtesy
Last Tuesday Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, was challenged on television about a 10-year-old girl with Down’s syndrome who was separated from her mother at the Mexican border and put in a detention centre. As a Democratic strategist cited the case, Lewandowski mocked the girl’s plight, imitating the sound of a sad trombone. “Womp womp,” he said.
Three days later, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, because of the policies of the administration she represents. “I explained that the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty and compassion and cooperation,” the owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, told the Washington Post. “I said, ‘I’d like to ask you to leave.’”
An aggrieved Sanders later tweeted: “Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully, and will continue to do so.”
When it comes to matters of civility in political discourse, the Trump administration and its advocates are in no position to preach: any plausible claim they may have staked for the moral high ground was torched very early on. Trump made a Pocahontas joke while addressing Native American servicemen; called protesting black football players “sons of bitches”; and, on Monday, tweeted that a black Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, was “an extremely low IQ person”. Having laid waste to decorum, tradition, convention and sensitivity, his administration should not be surprised when people respond in kind.
The issue here goes beyond etiquette. Both during his campaign and in office, Trump has violated basic democratic norms. He has encouraged violence at his rallies, said he may not accept the election result if he lost, and thanked African Americans for not voting. In office he has threatened to pardon himself if prosecuted; employed his family in key positions while authorising small children to be taken from their own families; endorsed and supported an alleged paedophile for the Senate; drawn an abhorrent equivalence between neo-Nazis and anti-fascist protesters; called for due legal process to be denied to immigrants; advised police to physically abuse suspects; and, as upheld by the supreme court on Tuesday, barred people from several Muslim countries from entering the US.
This is not just another president, with whom one may have honest disagreements: it is a brazenly dishonest man who routinely and openly uses misogyny, xenophobia and racism as political tools. Not so long ago, Republicans also claimed Trump was unfit to be president. Some still do.

They're watching this movie, too.
Mezz. You have to be disappointed with all of it. That cherry picking vid is dumb. Equating it to what we are seeing almost daily from the White House ain't even close.
How fearful is the avg Trumper (which sadly means you) of the elections in Nov resembling an accurate result?
