Melania clapping as he entered looked so sad. She was barely applauding--like when you "have to" just to be polite. |

God bless you for sitting through it. I just can’t. I’ve had a tumultuous day and I just can’t top it off with that man.

I have never missed one until now. Listening to him is pointless and maddening. We're watching The Office on Netflix.
As someone else said, I'll catch the synopsis on the fake news tomorrow so I can continue to be misinformed.

No, we have can not bear to watch or listen to that class A jackass. We will catch the cliff notes from one of the news channels later in the evening. Even watching the clips is going to be hard to take.
I already know the SOTU, it’s screwed!!

My DH is watching and I cannot sit and watch. Trump is clapping for himself every time he states something. Ryan and Pence have such smirks, it makes me sick.
They must have given Trump some drugs..he is slurring a bit. He has introduced “special guests” and is mentioning some girls who were murdered and blames them on illegal aliens in gangs.
He makes me sick. He is so fake. He doesn’t give a crap..it’s for show and to further his stance on DACA and the wall.

I watched it in Spanish. My Spanish is very rusty & I need to brush up. God bless the interpreter who could interpret word salad.

Even worse than the speech will be some of the pundits yammering on about it later. I figure that as long as he doesn’t have explosive diarrhea all over Pence and Ryan, someone will opine “This is a refreshed and renewed President tonight. This is the pivotal moment he needed so badly...”

I am running out of the door, DH and this thread will fill me in a bit later.
In accordance with my commitment to the peas, I am not entitled to comment on USA laws and policies I know little about. I try to not go off half cocked if it is an International policy or threat, which I am allowed to talk about.
So: DH and I think, unfortunately, he is killing it. The sheer juxtaposition of his normal chaotic, haphazard style, particularly in his tweets and this delivery which sounds informed, sober and on message, is brilliant.
Contrived but brilliant. I personally cannot stand the smirking and the "stalking" which he did at the beginning but seems to have stopped now. I hate his loud, slightly slow clapping directly into his microphone, but he has the USA and the International audience hanging on every word right now and he is doing an outstanding job.
He has not yet spoken on International events, FTR, he has just spoken about CJ the home affairs investigator, to mark my place. I will be back to read the thread.

I'm not watching. I know how someone reading from a teleprompter looks. I'm thinking of what could induce me to watch.
Maybe If they would put the words "CULT LEADER with duped followers" on his forehead.

Husband is unhappy with me because I refused to be in the same room and watch with him. He's a supporter, I'm a hater, so I'm here in my office, finishing up my dinner, trying to keep myself busy until this debacle is over.

They must have given Trump some drugs..he is slurring a bit. He has introduced “special guests” and is mentioning some girls who were murdered and blames them on illegal aliens in gangs. I noticed the slurring too! Unfortunately the 2 teenage girls from Long Island were allegedly targeted and killed by MS13(gang members, illegals out of Mexico/Central America) particularly violent and there have been 6 others found in the same area. A group has been arrested. The girls had NO known gang affiliations at all. |
