He looks like he's shrinking. He sounds like a broken man going through the motions.

[cali]

Robotic, monotone.

Doped to the gills?

This is like listening to the phone book even though it's a litany of the most appalling atrocities he can come up with.

Just holy shit.

[senseandsensibility]

1. What atrocities

Or do I want to know?

[michaz]

2. I would bet his followers are just waiting for him to cut loose. They like it when he does.

So guessing they are not happy when he doesn't.

[villager]

3. Getting it all by osmosis, here on DU. So... actually worse than "usual?"

If there is a "usual" with the Tasmanian Devil of American Politics...

[Jarqui]

4. He's speaking to a teleprompter ...

what a hypocrite!!

"We should outlaw teleprompters … for anybody running for president" Trump

[chelsea0011]

5. Ok. Who are the neocons who wrote this speech he

Is having a hard time reading?

[oberliner]

6. Teleprompter Trump

He is reading someone else's words that he barely understands and has probably not looked at previously.

[napkinz]

7. "I was against the Iraq war from the very beginning" ... A LIE

2002: Trump supported Iraq War

2007: Trump says "Declare Victory and Leave (Iraq)"

[True Dough]

15. The attempts at deception are monumental

The man was a born liar. He's the worst!

[napkinz]

16. ...

8. Ok, I steeled myself for about a 30 second viewing of his speech

He really does sound like they've chemically taken control of him. And it looks like he's wearing a new shade of spray tan.

Hopefully the meds will wear off and he'll go back on twitter to react to Joe Biden's assessment of him, today.

[Motley13]

9. He didn't get his meth today

His speeches are either maniacal or boring.

14. not meth....seen this link?

a kudos to the bestest magazine ever....Spy...from them it came:

According to Spy, Dr. Greenberg believed the cure for “metabolic imbalance” (not an actual medical disorder) was Tenuate Dospan, a diet drug similar to dexedrine with known side effects that include “confusions” and “hallucinations,” according to the NIH. It also gives you an amphetamine-like buzz. This is all probably why it’s only supposed to be prescribed on a short-term basis, as opposed to the multiple-monthlong regimens Dr. Greenberg allegedly dosed out, according to Spy

JFK and Jackie had a similar Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Max Jacobson, with his vitamin B12 shots....ha

[procon]

10. Someone upped his medication dosage.

He sounds drugged. He's talking so slow and his voice is raspier than ever. He even looks like a broken man.

[Avalux]

12. I think he's functionally illiterate - makes it hard to read a teleprompter.

You know the burnt yam is absolutely hating having to do it. He'll probably go on a twitter rant about who-knows-what after it's all over.

[womanofthehills]

11. Who is this person?

Very weird today - reading with no emotion - not stopping between sentences - kind of flat run on. I think this is up there with his most bizarre.

[Gabi Hayes]

13. exactly....the combo of your thread and mine pretty much sum it up

I like the going thru the motions bit
