Cheetolini wants to be a war pResident.

He mentioned 9/11

I don't know what to say.

[C_U_L8R]

1. President Yogi Berra?

[Rollo]

2. I listened to Snortolini on and off for about 10 minutes (was making a quick dinner)...

But finally shut off the sound because I can't stand the idiotic way he talks.

Lots of hand assholes too.

[Rollo]

3. Maybe I'll just call hiim Assholini from now on...

[a kennedy]

4. he reads so well don't he??

all THEY ever did was mock Barack's reading of his speeches......LOOK AT HIM!!!!! can't wait for the talking heads after this major speech. Ugh....I DESPISE THIS ORANG BLOB.

[Grammy23]

5. They sprinkled a tranquilizer on his Wheaties today.

I haven't seen him this reserved since? Forever. I have no recollection of him articulating and enunciating every syllable. So now we know what he was doing when he wasn't playing golf.
They tied him to a chair and he practiced over and over reciting this speech.

Can't wait for the talking heads to dissect what he said. Given that he has talked forever about getting out of Afghanistan, he had to do a 180. Hence the need for the sprinkles on his Wheaties.

9. "I have no recollection of him articulating and enunciating every syllable."

I think he was reading the teleprompter extra slowly because he was having trouble seeing it.



?w=669

[Grammy23]

12. Bingo! Retina burns might interfere with his vision.

So they were whispering the speech into his earpiece.

[PaulRevere08]

20. This just cries out for a parody of "The Kings Speech"

[spiderpig]

6. I'm confused. Are we going to war with Afghanistan, Pakistan, or both?

Oops - he just brought India into the picture.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. We'll be assisting Afghanis in rebuilding their country with military, economic, and diplomatic aid.

But, we aren't nation building.


We'll allow more military decisions to be made "in the field".


But, we won't be creating more terrorists after the inevitable increase in civilian casualties.


And, we'll increase troop levels and overall military spending.


But, we won't increase the debt and get bogged down in Afghanistan for another 15+ years.


If you believe all that, I've got some Trump™ Steaks to sell you.

7. Wag the Dog

[bucolic_frolic]

8. He's going to start WW3 at a time of historically low popularity

You could say there is no downside because he can't fall much further

but you could also say there is no upside because America is tired of
war in Afghanistan, and it will be an expensive war by every measure
with no clear objective in sight

[Blue Idaho]

10. One Question...

Was he on Quaaludes?

[Grammy23]

13. He was certainly reserved, wasn't he?

Compare and contrast tonight's performance with tomorrow night's
Arizona yuckfest.

[Skittles]

17. well we've all seen what happens when he is forced to toe the party line

he loses his shit the next day

[SharonClark]

16. Maybe his hair dye seeped into his brain and made him loopy.

[NecklyTyler]

18. Jared Kushner advised Trump to "Be like old 714 on this"

Trump confused:

With this:

[mobeau69]

14. Then resign ass hole.

Wag the dog all you want. I'll continue to detest your very existence.

[turbinetree]

15. I got more information from the total eclipse than this speech

at least I knew what was going to happen------------------this idiot babbled, so I went back to see what peace is all about with the Little World Championship

[Doug the Dem]

19. Just Wondering

Could we put him in a crate and address it to Afghanistan?
