POTUS to read a statement. CNN

Tear gassing protesters before Trump takes the podium. Nice!!!

Trump is going to send in the US army if the governors don't get control of the riots. I wonder how the Vanilla Isis Bundies of the world will feel about that?

I went to CNN during commercial and saw about the speech.
I posted a heads up, too.
But, I'm back to grocery games.

We are in a time of unrest. As such, I would like to address the 40% of you who don't already despise me.

We face a challenge. Many people are peacefully protesting. I feel they should just get over it, because after all George Floyd was black and therefore not a "fine person". Let me remind you that Mike Flynn, who was spilling information to the Russians, is a "fine person". So is Roger Stone, who has been encouraging me to go all Nixon with the law and order stuff.

There are also outside agitators, but rest assured that Bill Barf and MY Justice department are after them. Totally. I mean those guys with guns in the state assembly in Michigan were not agitators, but peaceful protestors. Also those with giant dildos. I saw the picture on the Twitter, and I thought "Protesting with giant dildos is true patriotism." As Bill Barf has said, only those who are tRump haters will be targeted. He's working on Pelosi, Schiff and any governor more popular than I am at this time. (Shout out to Brian Kemp!)

Finally, to those who are using the protests as an opportunity for looting, I beg you not to touch the gold plated toilets at any of my hotels. I have deployed the military to protect my person and my stuff.

To conclude, I am prepared to be tough to protect my person and my stuff (not yours, unless you donate bigly to my campaign). It is important to dominate at a time like this, even though "you people" have been complaining about oppression for 400 years or so. At least since 1917, when the last pandemic hit. By the way: coronavirus - total hoax!

I will now return to the bunker, where I will continue to whine and cry, because that is what I feel is needed to heal our country. Someone wrote the full sentences in this speech for me.



Do I need to add the sarcasm icon?
