I just saw the little dunce dance of Trumps at the NRA Convention. WTF? It is like he danced to insult the names of the victims. Pathetic and I just wonder how many other times he danced after tragic events like Uvalde?

He's done that stupid dance once too often. It doesn't show him youthful in in tune like he thinks it does. It shows him as an out if touch old man.

He is beyond the pale.

(351 posts)Hell, his voters probably all dance the same way, thinking that it's way cool.

(32,086 posts)Been doing that dance for well over a year. Other than the Gong Show victims name segment, that speech at the NRA Convention was just another rally to him. He comes out to Lee Greenwood's swill, bumbles through his usual low-energy litany of grievances off the teleprompter for an hour, and then ends with that stupid attempt at dancing. He doesn't give enough of a rat's ass about the Uvalde victims to insult them. He doesn't even care enough about his audience to do anything other than barely go through the motions to get out his lazy spew. It was the same tired, old shit at the Wyoming rally the next night, as it will be in any others that come up. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

(12,286 posts)HE NEVER THINKS ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF EVER.
He is just a clown.
He is out there to entertain the rubes and he will say whatever and do whatever pops into is drug addled syphilitic eaten brain. He wasnt insulting anyone because it never even occurred to him to bother to care.
He is just textbook NPD combined with low IQ.

(3,836 posts)is the victory "dance" he did at 5 years old when he first went potty by himself.
He "dances" still to make sure everyone knows he can still make potty like a good boy even though now he depends on his Depends.
Don't forget that giving what he believes to be good & righteous speeches makes him need to 'go'.

(150 posts)at the idea this may benefit him politically! He has no empathy or awareness of other human beings. There is only one person in the world that matters to this fucking psychopath and that is himself. Such a deranged disconnected ahole!

(9,151 posts)The Dean scream, also known as "I Have a Scream," was a speech delivered by Vermont governor Howard Dean on January 19, 2004 at the Val-Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa. That night, the presidential candidate had just lost the Iowa caucus to John Kerry and wanted to reassure his supporters. He listed states he would win to a raucous audience before screaming "Yeah!!!" Within four days, it was broadcast 633 times on national news networks and cable channels. The audio used in the airings of the scream was from Dean's unidirectional microphone, which decreased the volume of the background noise to the point where only Dean's voice was audible; this did not reflect the actual volume of the room that night, as the crowd was extremely loud.[citation needed]
Following the scream, Dean lost more primaries and suspended his campaign following his third-place result in Wisconsin. Some commentators have described the speech as a political gaffe that destroyed Dean's campaign; however, Dean and his campaign staff have claimed that he would have lost anyway, due to poor campaign organization. Additionally, Christine Pelosi, Pacific Standard, and historian Robert Thompson both consider that Dean's probability of being nominated was already low due to a lack of party insider support, the Iowa loss, and the media's previous painting of Dean as too tempered for the presidential position.

In terms of exposure on talk shows, Jay Leno responded, "Did you see Dean's speech last night? Oh my God! Now I hear the cows in Iowa are afraid of getting mad Dean disease. It's always a bad sign when at the end of your speech, your aide is shooting you with a tranquilizer gun;" and David Letterman joked, "Here's what happened: The people of Iowa realized they didn't want a president with the personality of a hockey dad."[8] Dennis Miller, on his show, also used a buzzer named the "Dean scream button" that played the scream when pressed.[14]

On second thought, he probably wouldn't GAF if they were his kids.
