Trump Spills Real Reason for Manic Address When Cameras Stop

[Jilly_in_VA]

President Donald Trump was heard explaining why he gave his bizarre national address as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.

In seemingly unguarded comments made in front of journalists after the address, the president admitted that it had not even been his choice—but that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, had made him do it as she plays cleanup amid the fallout from her embarrassingly candid Vanity Fair article.

In Wednesday night’s 18-minute double-speed diatribe, the 79-year-old president fired off mistruth after mistruth about how well his administration is doing and attacked his predecessor, Joe Biden, without having anything new to say.

The White House address was carried live by the major networks, with CBS forced to interrupt the live finale of its reality TV show hit Survivor so viewers could catch the presidential speech.

"Susie made me do it". Sounds like an excuse from "Calvin and Hobbes"

1. You know what this means: make sure you're talking about VF, not this speech.

And, of course, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!

2. No one cares about what he is saying

everyone just wants him gone.
Susie is supposed to be a savvy operator, yeah, I don't know about that.

5. Considering that everyone he hires is really stupid and incompetent...

None of them are really any good whatsoever, in any way.

3. Low energy Trump. Low ratings Trump.

The inevitable slo-motion crash and burn is nigh.

4. Time to revive the term "Dotard"

A babbling dotard...

[calimary]

8. I didn't think it was ever retired.

But I can think of a few (hundred) more terms and synonyms and phrases to plug in, in its place.

6. That devil named Susie made me do it

7. Again not The Onion

I always have to check now. What's that saying? Something about throwing and a bus.

9. Just heard on Nicole Wallace's show that CBS told him he had only 20 minutes

Guess that explains the haste of his diatribe. I can just imagine: 'Hey, Junior, I need some of your drugs so I can do all my spleen venting in record time'.

10. Your post reminded me of a scene in "Bye, Bye Birdie" where, in order to fit

in a song, the conductor of the ballet is given an upper kind of pill, and conducts the musuc at double speed. That, of course, was fiction. No telling what he took, or was given.
