Just for the record, the insane craziness earlier was not *the* Trump press conference.

That was just the pre-game sitdown photo op with a clearly uncomfortable Ukrainian President Zelensky.

The actual press conference with the Madman is scheduled to take place in a couple of minutes, and I fully expect it to be nothing less than Full Batshit Crazy.

5. He's a half-hour late.

I wonder who he's been talking to and what about. Mitch McConnell? Stephen Miller? Barr? Or just maybe wolfing down a Big Mac and watching the perpetual pep rally that is Fox News.

6. Here we go.

7. Lotsa "hoaxes"

This man is not well.

8. Something is really wrong him.

He's lugubrious. Started out by touting the economy, then called the whistleblower scandal a hoax, attacked the Bidens, now we're back to the "beautiful" economy, with a dash of nationalism thrown in. Love for Boris Johnson, "fantastic deal" with the UK, "much bigger deal, much bigger trade deals, they all want to do business with the United States... I love Prime Minister Abe... terrific new trade deal. We love the farmers the ranchers, new technologies..."

And more orange than usual.

9. You know those scenes in a movie

where someone is dying and they start to relive the distant past. Their eyes go glassy and foggy and the voice drops to almost a whisper.

10. You called it.

11. I haven't watched this buffoon speak live in years

He is totally fucking insane --- going on and on about the beautiful, unclimbable wall.

12. 'the witch hunt continues...

but they're getting hit hard on this witch hunt...this is a conversation but it's not the first conversation, which was beautiful... Mike Pence had a few conversations, they should ask for those... But they're only going to ask for the first conversation. It's very sad what the Democrats are doing to our country...belittling...demeaning...so many leaders come up to me... It's so mean what they're doing to you. They laugh at the stupidity... The wall is being built by the way. I went to the border. It's going up in Mexico, Arizona... They really wanted that wall in California and San Diego. The governor of Texas.. The attorney general of Texas. We're building a beautiful wall. Ted Cruz. It's going to be tough to get drugs over those walls. They came and said, 'This will be the best wall sir. These are the toughest walls. Very tough to get across. It's going up many miles a week. Four hundred, maybe as much as five hundred miles across really rough rivers and really rough land...We think over four hundred but it could be five hundred. We'll combat corruption... Venezuela... We'll promote American values. We're protecting religious freedoms and liberties...standing up for the American people like no administration has in years... Standing up for American Prosperity and the American way of life."

You get the picture. If you couldn't watch, you missed nothing.
