He's constantly losing the order of events at this event. [View all]

The parade was full as fuck, badly coordinated, utterly colorless, poorly attended. The speech was dull and he couldn’t have cared less.

But he forgot the flag presentation and the poor bugger hardly got half his speech out, he wandered off and had to be brought back for God Bless the USA, and frankly seems as bored as I am.

This all gives me great pleasure.
