2. It'll be full of lies

about how he’s been the best President for African Americans that there ever was, and how they should vote for him.

5. It can only go two ways.

Trump will read in his monotone voice with heavy sniffing, which will indicate that he didn't write the speech, doesn't believe anything about the speech, and likely didn't even read or practice the speech.


OR...

He will go off the cuff or off the prepared remarks and lie, self aggrandize, lie, self promote, lie some more, lie about his lies, and so forth.


Those are the only two Trump modes for speeches that there are.

14. If his handlers have any power over him, we see option #1.

If they don’t, we see option #2.

All this speech is going to tell me is whether or not anyone, at this point, can influence Trump.

Nobody in his/her right mind will be bothered with his insincere, phony nonsense.

Mexico will pay for this! Antigua rioting in our streets! Visit Trump Grill for the bigliest Taco bowels! That's what they say. Even more perfect than the phone call! Democrats are bussing little green space aliens! Surround me with fences and prison guards! Flag burning! Throw it all up against the wall! Something may stick!"

He is a known liar.

He is a known racist.

He pretends to be religious.

He is a misogynist.

He is an instigator.

He is a divider.

He is two faced.


What could he possibly say that would change anyone's mind ???

Nothing, absolutely nothing.


His cult will hang on every word.

They will forgive him if he tries to smooth over the destruction he has caused.


Those who do not support him will never buy his lies.

It would be in his best interest to not say anything.


When his rallies start back up he will spew his usual lies.

17. LOL. He goes off script all of his speeches.

Because he can't fucking read.

And so he makes shit up, and when he does, he can't help but remind us, once again, what a hateful, miserable, ignorant, psychotic pile of shit he is.

18. Doesn't matter what's written, drumpf will go on a tangent praising himself & lying.
Mon Jun 8, 2020, 10:41 AM

It's what he does. He's too narcissistic and filled with hate to do anything other than praise himself and lie horrendously and maliciously against "the others" who is anyone not currently fluffing him.

19. It will either be his usual hate filled rhetoric...
Mon Jun 8, 2020, 10:46 AM

or the bland, stumbling monotone he slips into when he doesn’t like what he is saying.

Since we all know him as a hate filled, racist, misogynistic bastard anything other than that will be fake.
