"Stormed off"? Bullshit!

[11 Bravo]

He haltingly lurched to his feet, resembling nothing quite so much as a sclerotic manatee. Then, muttering to himself while hunched over in the manner of Quasimodo suffering an attack of sciatica, he shambled haltingly offstage, pausing only to grab hold of Kristen Welker in a desperate attempt to remain semi-upright.
Mentally and physically - this is not a well man.

[Jilly_in_VA]

1. It was a toddler temper tantrum anyway!

Totally befitting a 2-year-old!

[Bluetus]

2. He doesn't look much like those AI videos he posts of himself, does he?

[hibbing]

20. Yeah and all those stupid "paintings"

Mr. tough guy can't handle some questions, anytime he gets anything other than ass kissing he does this crap.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

3. ROFLMAO!

[irisblue]

4. "sclerotic manatee"...

[mwmisses4289]

8. A sclerotic manatee has more grace and poise that t does.

They're probably smarter, too.

[Soul_of_Wit]

5. Thou dost besmirch the proud sea cows

...just by mentioning them in the same breath as Donald.

[legallyblondeNYC]

31. Agree! Manatees are kinda cute.

[BaronChocula]

6. My vote for DU Post of the Day

[Skittles]

7. *SNORT*

I too watched that clip and thought, regardless of how the average MAGAt spins the truth, the man is absolutely pathetic.

[sheshe2]

9. Bravo, 11 Bravo.

Perfect description of lumpy trumpie!

[Cha]

10. Thank you for that description! PEDO

actually grabbed hold of Kristen Welker?!

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. Yep

Probably lost his balance stomping on the microphone like the spoiled toddler he is. I would've knocked his hand away or dug my fingernails in.

[ShazzieB]

16. I wish she had taken a step bacward before he got his hand on her.

He would have gone down like a sack of potatoes!

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. That would've been hilarious

[Cha]

18. lol! PEDO coudn't get off the

set without the help of the Female host, he just insulted with his nasty diseased mouth.

Mahalo, Beagles!

[ShazzieB]

13. I think he stood up too fast and lost his balance, lol.

Welker's shoulder was the only thing close enough to grab onto.

[Cha]

21. Oh the Irony! He couldn't

hunch off set without KW's help.

I'm sure he'll lie about that, too.

Mahalo ShazzieB!

[buzzycrumbhunger]

32. Ayup

It looked like he was trying not to faceplant. I with she’d backed up as soon as he reached for her. *sigh*

[Cha]

37. lol the Hnnchback of PEDOVILLE Owes

owes Kristen Welker!

[twodogsbarking]

12. The props made it look like Hee Haw.

[usonian]

14. He did it on purpose, to grab a woman.

And he missed it.

[GoCubsGo]

41. Yup, he wasn't attempting to use her to try to stay upright.

He was trying to cop a feel.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. Bravo to NBC reporter Kristen Welker for standing her ground! Orange narcissist meet strong woman

[mountain grammy]

22. and that stinking, smirky O'Reilly kept interrupting

he was so disrespectful..

[live love laugh]

17. He bent down to avoid the lighting then stepped on and crunched the mike he snatched off.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Yes, he was definitely avoiding a light.

Then he put his hand on her shoulder to steady himself.

[mountain grammy]

23. Thank you!

That's what I saw many hours later when I forced myself to watch it..

[Talitha]

25. She should have pretended concern for his health...

"Are you alright? Your face is red and you're sweating profusely."

[Orrex]

26. Holy shit why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[buzzycrumbhunger]

33. You need to change up your spell

I think if we wrap up (a photocopy of) his $250 bill in a shitty diaper, stab it with some rusty spikes, fill it with bad intentions, and set it on fire we might just get some traction on this “die already!” spell.

Or maybe New Yorkers will spew enough hatred to get that fatal stroke percolating tonight.

[orangecrush]

27. He put his hand on her

To keep from falling over

[wyn borkins]

28. Total BS - Stormed Off - My ASS

"The sclerotic manatee is not well; neither mentally nor physically" (!!!).

[FadedMullet]

29. You make a good point. "Stormed off" implies being physically capable of moving quickly and purposefully. When was.....

.......the last time (or ever) that you saw Trump do anything faintly hinting at physicality?

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Our commander in chief is anything but.

[rubbersole]

34. And all the manatees collectively weep...

[NBachers]

35. The Fartful Codger

[ColoringFool]

36. Poetry, 11 Bravo! Sheer Poetry! 👏👏👏 🥰

[catchnrelease]

38. Lumbered off

I always think of him as the Lumbering Oaf, so his exit was right in character.

[czarjak]

39. Mumbling. Bumbling. Stumbling!

IF-EVER

[luvallpeeps]

40. Calling her darling!

Had to get that little hateful jab in. And he touched her. Ewwww!🤮

[Aussie105]

42. Staring into the Abyss . . .

The Abyss of non-existence, the end of life, the big question - what comes after death?

Trump knows it, tries to hide from it, but . . . the panic is obvious.

Screaming outrage into the face of the Grim Reaper.

He'd probably live a lot longer if he quit his job - the one he isn't doing very well, and never has.

[calimary]

43. I was looking for the "stormed off" part, too. And not finding it.

The whole thing looked so much more low key than that. WAY more. He even paused to touch her arm on his way out, heading offstage to the right. Like some “closing gesture” that signifies the end of an encounter. Not only that, but he actually got up and toward the exit fairly slowly, compared to what the chatter wrongly characterized as “stormed off.”

Wasn’t anything remotely like a “stormed off.”

And it had me wondering, objectively, ARE we seeing behavior from an individual who’s turning 80 in a few days and starting to act every bit that age? With all the accompanying suggestions and interpretations about an individual who’s actually not well? Or not fully “with it” anymore? Just what IS it that we’re seeing, lately?

[seta1950]

44. Not we'll both mentally as well as physically

What a loser!
