When Trump did his victory announcement last night but took so long to come to the podium

Did anyone else honestly hope something had happened to Trump, perhaps medical or mental that incapacitated him or worse?

1. No Way

They were rehearsing his talking points most likely.

6. I didn't think the Donald was big on prep?

But yeah it was logically something fairly mundane, but a guy can dream, right?

7. We Had Our Chance With Covid-19

If he wasn't "president," he might not have made it.

8. I heard his lawyers were advising him

on what to say.

2. Or maybe walking points. Didn't want him to shuffle up there like he needed support

Maybe an extra toot or two to fortify him. Sure seems like he’s got an extra layer of face paint on.

3. I have been wishing that for some time now

4. Lol! nt

5. He did the same during the debates also.

Joe would already be at his podium, and Chump was barely halfway to his, shuffling along. By comparison, it looked very odd.

9. Wow, he's such a virile young macho man compared to Biden.

More seriously, did he take a long time to even appear on stage like last night too?

12. TV panel member speculated Trump aides spent that time trying to talk him out of declaring victory.
