I've been waiting for him to sneeze, whereupon I fully expect his head to cave in.

I noticed that and was trying to figure out what he was talking about (as if Trump has ever done anything profound in his life).

Switched channel shortly thereafter. What a snore fest.

And I only saw an excerpt because no way in hell was I going to watch that shit-fest. He seemed to squint at the teleprompter at times and I thought he was hanging on to the podium like it was the only thing that was holding him up. Really, he seemed to be drunk.

He often sounds and looks like he is just getting a first glance at what he is supposed to be saying. Because he is. So naturally, he often flubs up and misreads the teleprompter. I love it when he tries to act like he meant what he said and then tries to slip in the real word. He thinks he is being subtle and clever. He’s not.

Most Christians know this one by heart, he doesn't and probably couldn't find the passage anyhow.

everything else he does and says IS worse.

Let's keep focused on the critical stuff. This is just noise.

When used appropriately.

When the so-called leader of the free world is ignorantly using inappropriate words, don't dare tell me it's not important.

He can barely read at a "hooked-on-phonics" level. He can sound-out the words, but he doesn't know what they mean when strung-together in a complete sentence. (Or as NEAR to "complete" as one can expect when he's trying to read.)
