Trump will call for 'unity' tonight. It's a scam, and here's the proof.

[Zorro]

It’s one of the most dispiriting rituals that attend State of the Union addresses in the Trump era: White House advisers piously promise us that President Trump will issue new calls for unity and bipartisan comity, and for reasons that remain baffling, far too many observers then feel obliged to pretend that these soothing exhortations are real.

But this time around, there’s just no excuse for playing along. That’s because we’ve already seen what happens in the real world after Trump stands before Congress and carries out his unity routine — not once, but twice.

The New York Times reports that White House officials are previewing a speech that will supposedly “lean into a bipartisan and optimistic vision for the country.” White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway vows that it will call for “comity” and “compromise.” Former White House spokesman Raj Shah gushes that Trump can “turn the page” with “unifying, patriotic, and optimistic themes that have worked well for him in previous addresses.”

So let’s talk about those “previous addresses,” and about what happened in their wake.

7. second that

2. I hope this orange nut cake goes seriously off script

and shows his fellow fruitcakes how unhinged he his.

Although this didin't stop hitler from destroying most of europe. This might not stop his(trumpf's) fruitcakes and fellow travelers from destroying the US and perhaps most of Europe and the rest of the world.

Reading from script would probably still be very unsettling. Gotta pronounce some 2-3 syllable words, donnie-boy. Gotta stop grinning like a 12-yo entitled brat.

I'll not watch his orange outrage and wait for Stacey Abrams rebuttal.

4. his idea of comity and unity is that his 'enemies' agree with him.

6. Like always, anything Trump might say tonight is absolutely meaningless.

I the words of Paul Simon, "lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie...etc.
