What was with the bright lights in the doorway as Trump entered the room?

[madaboutharry]

Chris Matthews pointed this out. Trump emerging from a doorway that was awash in bright light as he stepped forward. Matthews: "As if he was ascending from Heaven."

What kind of bullshit is this? Was this Pompeo's idea? Pompeo believes that Trump will bring the "End Times' and end the world as we know it.

Folks, the government is being controlled by religious extremist and lunatics.

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Stage Crafting.

[llmart]

5. Next time they'll create a halo for him to wear.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Watch a couple

Apprentice programs once,caught that effect on a episode,never wasted another second after that.

Having a family member explain how he would set the stage Lighting to give that angelic effect for a Play Character when doing a Grand Entrance onto the set,and the visual effect it had on the viewing Audience in the Theater.

2. To please the Evangelicals...

Who say Trump was "Heaven sent by God" to save us all.

[StarryNite]

39. Yup

All part of the brainwashing.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Heat escaping from the Furnaces of Hell.

[Ilsa]

4. Just like at his convention, when they projected

His shadow supersized onto a white silkscreen as he walked up on stage.

[mikeysnot]

6. Banality TV

[dalton99a]

7. Kick

[Beringia]

8. I got the video

[KPN]

10. LOL. It's actually too damned idiotic not to laugh at such banality. These people are just

plain old fucking NUTS! Oh, and stupid.

[Grasswire2]

11. George Bush said it: "That's some crazy shit" nt

[llmart]

30. That's the smartest thing Dubya ever said.

[gratuitous]

12. The doors of heaven swing open Trump waddles out

And the doors slam shut behind him. It's all in how you look at it.

[UCmeNdc]

13. F Trump!

[CaptYossarian]

31. Add his Cabinet and family and you have F Troop.

[BamaRefugee]

17. Wow that makeup looks like orange Spackle applied with a trowel from Home Depot (also orange)

Tammy Fay Baker would be proud!

[PCIntern]

27. Ho-Ly-Fuck.

It’s Haysoos himself!!!

[IcyPeas]

14. jesus

[BamaRefugee]

15. Looks like Jesus rocks out to his Beats headphones.

[CaptYossarian]

33. Nope. I'm seeing Carrie.

Let's remind the evil-gelicals what happened to her mom.

[kimbutgar]

16. All theatrics like on the apprentice

He’s the second coming. The second coming of satan!!!

[BluNoMatterHu]

18. I never drank the religious kool-aid...

Ain’t starting now and especially not because of this pathetic maniac.

[Skittles]

42. it's not drinking the religious kool-aid

it is pointing out that the orange ass clown is heavily endorsed by people who drink the religious kool-aid

[Pepsidog]

19. He did something similar I think when giving nomination acceptance speech.

There was some ludicrous staging and lighting. He is a circus clown. We need a rock solid nickname for Benedict Donald. One that will stick. I will admit he is the best at nicknames if he indeed comes up with them. Shame is not so clever in real life.

[mahina]

22. Dimwit Donnie. Don the Con.

I hope we find out how they made money off of this because I’m sure they did

[Traildogbob]

20. Angelic beams from God

His White House sacred ground creating Jesus winch touched his mushroom before entering. Why trump sometimes speaks in tongues, she is advising him directly from God's lips. MAGA!

[FiveGoodMen]

21. "ascending from Heaven"?

That's not the conventionally-assumed geography.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. Pure theater. Mr. Showbiz knows how to play the rubes.

[PJMcK]

24. What was Chris Matthews talking about?

He said, "As if he was ascending from Heaven."

One ascends to Heaven. One ascends to Heaven from Earth. Or is there a higher plane than Heaven?

Ascending from Heaven doesn't make any sense.

Oh, that's right: it's Chris Matthews.

[madaboutharry]

29. He might have said descending.

It could be my mistake.

[PJMcK]

38. Fair enough

To be clear, I'm ragging on Matthews! He should retire.

Hope we're good!

[paleotn]

37. Ascending form hell maybe?

That would make better sense.

[Midnight Writer]

25. His golden hair is also supposed to remind us of a halo. Look at evangelical TV preachers.

I saw years ago a series of photos of Reagan with halo effect. A photographer purposefully lined up his shots with backlight to make Reagan look angelic.

[C_U_L8R]

26. A desperate attempt to undilate his high-as-a-kite pupils?

[yonder]

32. Bingo. My first thought too.

[SCVDem]

34. Can you see the light?

Jake and Elwood Blues.

[CaptYossarian]

35. Maybe next time he'll walk TOWARD the light.

Let the Grim Reaper take over removing him.

[paleotn]

36. I only wish "the end times"

would end IQ45, Pompeo and the rest of the loony fundies. The rest of us can just go about our business. I wish.

[StarryNite]

40. That's some creepy shit!

[Blue Owl]

41. Oh for fuck's fucking motherfucking sake...

[Wounded Bear]

43. They did it for Bush, too...

[Beartracks]

44. If he was ascending into view, then he came from below. Not above. n/t

[live love laugh]

45. Amateur night. nt

[Raine]

46. Typical Matthews

he never pays attention to what ANYONE has to say, he gets distracted by bright and or shiny objects.
