I can't wrap my head around the fact that a "President" of the United States spent 15 minutes...

[First Speaker]

...trying to "explain" having a drink of water and walking down a ramp. I mean, my God. The sheer insecurity this shows...the sheer pettiness...that a *President* would do this on live TV. Needless to say, every day this moron does or says something I never would have dreamed any President would do, even Nixon, even Reagan, even Dubya. But they all at least pretended to have some dignity. Not Kim Il Tiny Hands...

[Skittles]

1. quotes, PLEASE

"President"

[First Speaker]

3. Done

[Skittles]

5. aw SHUCKS

[cayugafalls]

2. Like they say in TV Land, his show has Jumped the Shark.

He is over.

The TV guy is done.

Let's work hard to cancel his show in November!

[bdamomma]

34. Let's

FIRE HIM, he deserves a jail cell too.

McConnell too.

[AleksS]

4. Seriously! And if it wasn't an issue he could have

Either just ignored it, or taken 30 seconds to walk down a ramp to his podium and drunk a glass of water right there at the start of his tirade. No words necessary. (Maybe a wink?) Case closed. Everyone would know what he’s doing. But by over-explaining? He just looks guiltier. Like the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar concocting story after story to explain his innocence.

[thesquanderer]

40. Yes to the over-explaining. All he did was admit that he can't drink a glass of water with one hand,

without risking spilling it on to his tie. What coordination!

[struggle4progress]

6. Actual explanation! "I'm wearing leather bottom shoes"

Somebody really should investigate how leather shoes got on the President's feet

Was some addle-brained anarchist halfwit responsible?

[central scrutinizer]

13. "When you're explaining,

You’re losing”, Ronald Reagan

[Blue Owl]

7. Stick a fork in that trump roast

He's DONE!

[sop]

8. Telling people to drink Clorox and shoot up Lysol wasn't enough?

[Salviati]

9. He is a profoundly insecure man...

... and honestly, with good reason.

[spanone]

10. He's got nothing else to say. Pity rallies.

he has no policies to speak of.

he believes in nothing but himself.

pathetic.

useless.

[regnaD kciN]

11. Well, remember that this is a man who, during the 2016 campaign...

...spent part of a press conference assuring the world that his penis size was just fine, thank you.

[Cicada]

12. We are living the book Being There

Where by a string of accidents someone not remotely qualified become leader

[unblock]

14. Some hugely important differences, though

Like Chauncey gardener had a kind heart.

And had an inexplicable way of somehow being right....

And he spoke much better as well

[AZ8theist]

18. HUGE difference...

Chauncey was WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY more intelligent than Dotard.

[certainot]

31. not string of accidents. 30 years of unchallenged ignored bullshit from 1500 radio stations

it's all there if media did some research back on limbaugh transcripts to document it as trump's script. and putin's. the amazing lack of reporting on the total destruction of the 'voice of america' by trump underscores the biggest political mistake in history - the total ignorance of rw radio by democrats and the 'left', even when putin horns into it in at least 2008 and continues today.

a major putin success will be the destruction of the voice of america, which stimied soviet influence around the world since thee 50s. and it barely gets a mention as this putin tool trump destroys it, while dems and the left have no clue the only unique trump advantage is the complete free speech free ride they give a chorus of 1500 coordinated and unchallenged radio stations here in the US, using the same tested and proven propaganda tool the army psyops manual gives top honors - because it hurts their heads and ears

[RussBLib]

15. I have to admit

He was funny, describing that. It did seem rather incongruous that he might be poking fun at himself. What? Mr No Introspection Ever?

Some of his "speech" did sound like he was tuning up his standup routine. The only thing missing was a heavy New Yawk or Jersey accent, a la The Sopranos.

I tuned over to Fox and they were rerunning his speech in full. No way I watched that garbage live.

[erronis]

16. I'm guessing his friend vlad and Deutches Bank are calling in their "loans"

Their risky investment doesn't look so good right now.

Maybe donnie can offer his prized daughter in trade? A bit older, quite a bit more used. Wifey may need to go back on the market too.

[StarfishSaver]

17. So many things he says make me shake my head like that

I just can't believe that we have a president who says the things he does and it's not even a big deal anymore.

[louis-t]

19. Two words keep coming up: petty and vindictive.

And I've started calling him Kim Jong Trump.

[keithbvadu2]

28. Kim Jong Trump

[vapor2]

20. He took the time to explain his shortcomings

because he can't stand the humility. Republicans know this and still remain silent. I blame them even more for knowing of his physical and mental failures and their lack of action. Their greed remains and at what expense?

[SoonerPride]

21. This proves Lincoln Project is getting under his skin

He’s openly admitting he is entirely susceptible to attacks on his physical and mental well-being.

He is defensive and cannot help himself to explain away these obvious flaws.

His NPD is his Achilles heel and attacking and mocking him personally will yield more time trying to counter these attacks and he will look exceedingly petty, frail, and inept

Keep it up!

[nature-lover]

24. The Lincoln Project's timing is superb. They hit him before he can spin. Brutal!

[bdamomma]

35. The Lincoln Project

keeps on hitting the bully down, keep on doing that. Speak of his flaws and lies there has been many of them.

[3catwoman3]

22. Most ramps I have seen have a very textured surface, precisely...

...to keep them from being slippery.

And the proper term would be “leather soled” shoes.

[womanofthehills]

23. I bet he worked with an occupational therapist for a month

To be able to drink a glass of water with one hand.

[BarbD]

25. So, the next rally is scheduled for....?????

[lunatica]

26. And even worse his MAGATs applauded and cheered.

[Ahpook]

27. He wants to be Putin or

Kim? Thankfully, he is an idiot, and so is his staff.

He has major issues in regards to health and sanity. I am not blaming him for that, as we all get older. He is just a dick about it and EVERYTHING he does.

[LudwigPastorius]

29. I can't wrap my head around the fact that a couple of thousand mindless zombies were...

cheering him because he took a drink of water with one hand.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tulsa-rally-water-drink-video-a9577836.html

[PatrickforO]

30. Yeah, that boggles my mind. All the guy had to say was,

"I took that ramp slow," and then a smile.

I'd have given any president but Trump a pass on that one. But he is definitely a whiny little you know what.

[Nitram]

32. ...a "President" of the United States spent 15 minutes trying to "explain" having a drink of water

because this president is exhausted, running on drug-fueled fumes, delusional, and showing clear signs of dementia to boot. The part I can't wrap my head around is the GOP's refusal to remove this incompetent, dysfunctional piece of crap from office.

[scarytomcat]

33. his world is a stage, he ain't giving it up easy

he is a TV star, sort of, if you include reality shows
this IS the tRump reality show
season finale coming up after big build up
What will it be? A little soft shoe? Magic act? Maybe he will break out in song.

[bdamomma]

36. Just keep his fingers

off the codes!!

[D_Master81]

37. The American Presidency May have jumped the shark

Think of how this looks to people in other countries. The leader of our country took a sip of water and people gave him a standing ovation. I mean WTF???

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. The Pityberder Address is now a part of our history.

[chriscan64]

39. Plus he'll have to do it at every show.

It will be his "Freebird". "Do One Hand Water Drink!" "Ramp, ramp ramp!"

[Aussie105]

41. Trump fought the Battle of the Drinking Glass

and survived the Incident at the Slippery Slope.

Bigly well managed, both incidents.

The bigly brained Übermensch (translation:Super-Human) survived to fight another day!

The Untermensch (translation: peasants, bogans, slow witted) had better recognize his brilliance!

Two purple hearts coming up? /sarcasm
