His voice tones sound subdued and defeated. And at the 3 minute mark he starts rambling about crowd size again! Comparing himself to the crowd at the MLK speech event.

He is clearly losing it.

He should have remained a second-rate real estate swindler and left it at that, but his ego wouldn't allow it.

His ridiculously phoney-balonie TV show bolstered his already massive ego, so loaded with the name recognition from his fake TV show.....off he went, and the brain-dead republican TV audience ate it up with a spoon.

He's certainly no politician, although he believes he's the finest who ever lived. He's barely a sane, sentient human being. Fucking blowhard.

He is asking the crowd if they still believe him.

Done his history homework too, just slanted it in his unique way.

Words without meaning, words without value. He has the biggest pile of bigly words!
Maybe he is starting to realize his words won't save him, won't change a thing?

The brain died a while back, body still twitching. Unusual, normally it's the other way around.

30. Teleprompter.

He's always saying Biden reads everything off a teleprompter, but he does it more than anyone. He adlibs a lot in between the lines of the writen speech and that's why his speeches sound so disjointed and rambling. For his "alternative facts" and historical data etc. it's all off the teleprompter.

He's the biggest phoney who's ever worn socks.

34. The DOJ now has probable cause to subpoena his teleprompter transcript for its investigation.
Sat Jun 18, 2022, 12:38 AM

He continues to commit fraud by defending his pressure on Mike Pence due to his conspiracy to break the law. So this speech is no longer protected speech, which justifies the DOJ to consider him a clear and present danger and issue either a warrant for his arrest or a subpoena for his teleprompter transcript.

If I were a DOJ prosecutor with a federal grand jury, I'd subpoena to get a copy and testimony from him and his speech writer. This shit's not funny.

This is something none of us should just be careless about anymore, or be letting him get away with.

But it will need some mirrors on the wall, or pictures of his favourite dictators, past and present, so he has an audience.

autopsy and blood toxicology bigly advised.

But currently he is stuck in a loop. Can't confirm or deny his position, so he has to repeat himself.

Word salad, bullshit, whatever, the spirit of his meaning is, he and his supporters continue the clear and present danger of pledging to break the 12th Amendment law by overturning the next presidential election.

From Judge Luttig:

"... still Donald Trump and allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy.

... to this very day the former president, his allies and supporters, pledge that in the presidential election of 2024, if the former president or his anointed successor as the Republican Party presidential candidate were to lose that election, that they would attempt to overturn that 2024 election in the same way that they attempted to overturn the 2020 election, but succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020.

I don’t speak those words lightly. I would have never spoken those words ever in my life except that that’s what the former president and his allies are telling us as I said in that New York Times op ed wherein I was speaking about the Electoral Count Act of 1887... I would have never uttered one single one of those words unless the former president and his allies were candidly and proudly speaking those exact words to America."
