President Trump addresses the nation tonight

I have to agree with the folks who thought the “so sad, so terrible” line was a laugh out loud moment.

Cringey.

By the way, Trump is clearly on something. What is he on?

You could clearly see him hurrying to finish at the end because the sniffles were about to get totally out of control. It was hilarious. He’s snorting something.

Well something is definitely up looks like all our trump supporting forum friends went to bed early tonight.

Once again, their dream of an authoritarian tyrant melted into a pool of warm vanilla ice cream scum.

Womp womp.

Very legal and very cool

Trump’s message was targeted at morons.

Forgive me for saying this. But you seem incredibly bitter. I hope things get better for you.

My telling the truth makes me seem “bitter” to you? I’m sorry, but the truth can cause pain, if one’s been avoiding it. Also, you’re the guy who’s always whining when people post a reply that comments on you in a personal way. You whine about it repeatedly, incessantly, at the slightest of prompts. Whine, whine, whine. Have some cheese.

[LucyLou]

Can’t wait to listen to the Republican Media ridiculously try to pump some testosterone into this weak address tomorrow.

They were riding the National Emergency hard today.

Lol.

i read this on another board…

“His eyes were all squinty and he looked haggard and ruined. And demoralized. I think he finally feels like the trapped rat he is. There is no victory coming from this stunt.”

CNN isn’t needed to know what your eyes see. He looked defeated and can barely read his TelePrompTer

If people think that this whole thing is a game… this is a real email I recieved this morning from the management company that manages apartments that I own in Maine. I currently have two apartments rented to Coast Guard.

Both are young. One is 19 and walks to work because he doesn’t have a car. The other has a beautiful little girl with his fiancé.

Dear Coast Guard Families,
We recognize that the government shut down may be impacting your family. If you are experiencing a financial hardship and cannot pay your rent, please reach out to me and let me know. I would be happy to discuss options with your landlords.
I have also found this resource as the community comes together to help:

We appreciate all that you do, and thank you for your service to our country!

Real people are being affected and the Coast Guard presence in the town is so large that the city of Rockland Maine is picking up the slack in case the Federal Government won’t pay the people that work in freezing weather to keep the Coast safe.

This is a supremely ■■■■■■ up situation that the President has created.

This is affecting real people.

Just remember, for a lot of people this isn’t a game.

That is horrible. Trump and the GOP are just full of cruel people. It’s sickening.

@LucyLou

Well, that was a flaccid, wobbly, weak little so-called speech. Sad.

No national emergency. Lol.

A complete and total waste of one of the most powerful tools in a President’s arsenal. This is an avenue to really persuade and convince. He did none of that. It was tired, boring, and felt forced. He is screwed on this Shutdown. He moved no one last night.

@matt1618

No, that was the prior session. The previous house did not pass that bill. The previous house, you should know actually voted to fund the wall. The only reason the Senate didn’t fund the wall in the previous session because they needed 60 votes. The Senate now can’t vote on what was passed in the previous session, same thing the house can’t pass what was only orally passed in the Senate.

Fascinating. Lol

The stupid refresh of the site keeps me from watching. I’ll search outside of the forum for this. Thank you. I’ve never been on a social media site with so many issues. Lol

@matt1618

You know they Schumer doesn’t have 60 votes to vote that. There would be more people voting against.it. Plus, you know that Pelosi doesn’t have 2/3rds to override a veto, nor does Schumer have 2/3 to override a veto. Actually McConnell should have gone to 50 to vote on it previously and this thing would have been over.

Nuke the legislative filibuster over $5.7B of a stupid wall. I swear, you people and your short-sight baffles me.

So when Democrats eventually reclaim the Senate and hold majority in the House and the Presidency, they can pass universal healthcare. They can pass strict climate change laws. They can do whatever they want, and all because of some stupid wall. Lol

@sikofit

So the entire thing was nothing more than an attempt to fleece the base of more money for their reelection campaign while they still can? How can people possibly be this blind?

The networks should be ashamed of themselves for carrying what was essentially a re-election political ad and fundraiser. I wouldn’t be surprised if they think twice about ever letting him do that again.

Surely even you can admit that this was not some homerun, knock it out of the park, persuasive speech that turned public opinion in his favor.

It was the same crap he has been saying for weeks now. Nothing new. No energy. He looked like he was forcing it. And he tried to raise money off of it before and after the speech which is highly unethical.

He is a loser and that’s what he looked like tonight.

National emergency, seize the land vs. whining for eight minutes.

Master negotiator.

The emperor has no clothes.

(And now I have to bleach bit my brain to erase that image of Donald.)
