"Wow! When Trump talks like a President, he sounds like a President!"
Problem is he doesn't talk like a President, nor act like one, ALL the time.
He'll always be a lying turdball idiot to me.

(47,418 posts)speaks in complete sentences (usually reading a teleprompter) and doesn't say something offensive, some in the media declare him "presidential". They such a low bar for future presidents. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
Trump is the same petty, vulgar narcissist he's always been and he is only getting worse by the day.

"Not sounding like the guy at the end of the bar" is what passes for presidential these days, I guess.
