Trump Refuses Advice to Address Nation
June 1, 2020 at 7:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“President Trump has dismissed advice from his allies urging him to tone down his rhetoric and held back so far on a formal address to the nation as cities across the country faced another night of fiery protests,” NBC News reports.

“Senior adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner is not in favor of a high-profile presidential speech at this time.”

1. tump inability to offer ANY compassion forces his people to STOP him from making a national appeal

no way he can talk to America about anything the reeks of calmness

[soothsayer]

2. Which makes this even more headscratchingly funny

Snip: It took two days of rioting across the country until Joe Biden finally released a statement, published after midnight this morning, to urge for an end to the violence.

3. There is nothing he can say.

His words would be as hollow as the hole in his heart where humanity belongs.

4. Also this from an AP story on bunker don

Snip: As cities burned night after night and images of violence dominated television coverage, Trump’s advisers discussed the prospect of an Oval Office address in an attempt to ease tensions. The notion was quickly scrapped for lack of policy proposals and the president’s own seeming disinterest in delivering a message of unity.

5. he needs to resign

...just fucking resign he is worthless, as a president, as a human

[fleur-de-lisa]

6. That might be for the best. Dumpus would fuck it up.

Every time he opens his trap he incites more violence.

[spanone]

7. He would only make things worse.

and fuck jared kushner

[Wounded Bear]

8. Actually, their fear is that he would make himself look worse...

and they're right. Trump is incapable of making a 'once more into the breach' speech because he has no experience overcoming obstacles. He has juked and jived every time something happened to him and never once in his life actually stood up and faced something.

He's a coward, to be sure. If he did go out there and read a speech in his hostage video persona, it would just make him look like the fucking emotional zombie he is.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Bullshit. He is addressing the Nation with every stupid fucking tweet.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[JHB]

10. Even if he had, it'd still be a failure of leadership

It would go like so many of his other "required" speeches: he'd robotically recite what staff members put up on a teleprompter, more than half pouting at feeling coerced into something he doesn't want to do.

And if he decided to wander off-script... hoo-boy.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. He'd only say he's doing a "heckuva job".

I have no interest in anything he might say.

12. "It would be a lot worse if I had not managed it -- I give myself A+

for my efforts. The burnings, well that's Obama's fault."
