Blah, Blah, they got it all wrong.
It's OK for entertainment value, like:

Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief strategist, said the president will essentially declare victory,
Probably because he's tired of so much winning.

My guess is that something he was counting on went terribly wrong and ended up verbally delivering what he usually posts overnight on his phone.



In short, he was THE CONQUERING ZERO.

Nice Try, Politico

Now go home and get your shine box!!!
You, too, Orange Caligula.

1. Jeez, usonian - now I'm sorry I missed the speech. NOT. "CONQUERING ZERO" - Nice.

"President Donald Trump will use a primetime address Wednesday night to declare that the month-long war in Iran is winding down, against a backdrop of spiking oil prices and increasingly dismal poll numbers."

5. Well worth missing.

Like the Titanic, you want to get the reports second and third-hand rather than being eyewitness.

2. We watched it.

He can still read cue cards.

But something seems really kinda off about him. Either that or he took some tranquilizers before he went on. Yes, he read it all the way through. But there was no feeling. No verve. Nothing in there to telegraph to the viewers that this was super important and they should all be fully invested in it. Nothing in there to assure viewers that these words were of vital importance or relevance. Just reading a script or a TelePrompTer. And getting it over with.

Like he really deep-down doesn’t care anymore and is just tired of the whole mess. And just wants it to be over so somebody can crown him king or something. Did it move ANYBODY? Or motivate anybody to jump in with both feet and sacrifice everything for the Greater Glory of Whatever or Whoever. It was totally empty, as was its speaker.

That’s all I saw, and all I heard, anyway.

4. That's all I needed to know. Thanks for sharing and getting me updated, and...

... I'm sorry you had to endure it.

6. After the INFAMOUS Biden-Trump debate, I almost got banned here for suggesting that Joe got poisoned, Putin-style

and why not? A little bit of nerve gas? Fatigue doesn't go away at half-time.

Anyway, the accuser has been found guilty, as always.

Just another druggie like Hitler, Michael Jackson, Elvis ...

I wonder if some small country or even duchy can just surprise attack and beat the U.S.



Having fired all the experts in defense, we are completely unaware of the Q-bomb.

And he's so clueless that even his "Americas" cronies will pull a stunt on him he's not even aware of.

3. very refreshing to read an honest assessment

instead of the whitewashed shyte we get from the "mainstream media"
