After all the cameras of every network will be focused on the occasion for nearly a week. No fucking way he's going to let that opportunity go to waste. No doubt, he's using Biden as an excuse to give himself more time in the spotlight to blather his usual blather. This is going to just be one four-day-long Trump rally..

I’m kinda surprised he’s letting anyone else speak. He must have given the other speakers some flattery points to cover.

I'd watch Trump dig his own grave even deeper, but I can't stand the sound of his voice or anything about him, really.

1. He's a narcissist who can't let anyone else stand in a spotlight

2: Nobody who could justify a keynote slot is willing to speak at this dumb thing.

Every network will be televising this thing. Of course he's going to force himself on the viewers. He wants the attention, and he thinks he'll get hyoooooge ratings from it. Because that's all that matters to this fucking sociopath--ratings.

"I don't understand. Why am I doing so badly in the polls?"
"Stay off TV, Mr. President."
"No, I need to do MORE TV, that's the solution..."
