Reminds me of Pvt Pyle in Full Metal Jacket when he can’t get the smile off his face

His handlers have him dressed and made up to look like some sweet little 12 year-old. Full scale damage control.

When he and his shithead school pals make their trip to the White House as a reward for their bad behavior, he'll have that MAGA cap back on, and that nasty little smirk will again be on full display. I hope every college admissions office in the country has this kid's name flagged for their rejections file.

He's probably looking at a fake degree from some place like Liberty University

Not sure what PR firm they have handling this, but it's obvious they've been coached to play the victim.

Yeah, you know what is REMARKABLE about this incident other than it is being promoted by Putin's tools, is that the rightwingers never, not once, not EVER tell the truth.

This is just another example.

NOT EVER...not once. Never...ever. Never.

On either side.

This schism is permanent, except for those directly affected by Trump’s actions. All of them will turn against him. He won’t gain any followers who are not getting paychecks now. And if some followed him before they won’t love him for putting them on furlough closing their jobs down.

And even before this were in the majority.

sedated. He displayed no expressions, no emotion, and never even blinked. His voice was robotic, a monotone without any inflection or emphasis. His words, the lawyerly phrases, the deadpan delivery, the lifeless cadence, indicated he had been professionally prepped and coached, maybe overly so.
