1. Half-hearted. Half-wit. half-assed.

Seems about right.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Someone in the press corps should ask him to recite it, as speculation says he doesn't know it.

[LakeArenal]

22. Maybe just one complete sentence of it.

I remember TommyThompson was caught on tape singing : from the vountans to the verries hump hmmm ahhh mite with foam.

To God Bless American.

23. I bet the Trumps knows every word to the "State Anthem of the Russian Federation" 👍

[LakeArenal]

24. Da!

[Claustrum]

2. Why are they frowning? There is a difference of being somber and frowning

It looks like they really don't want to be there

[2naSalit]

9. They don't because it's not about them...

And botox, I'd imagine, makes it hard to show many expressions other than grimace, fake smile (actually simply baring of their teeth which looks more like painful exercise than smiling) and frown.

19. Because they hate each other. Because their handlers told them

no more of this goofy bullshit

3. He's reading from the teleprompter

8. I remember when a certain President was mocked by republicans for using a teleprompter

Republicans mock Obama’s teleprompter use

It’s one of the very symbols of the presidency — the ultimate accessory to the ultimate bully pulpit, seemingly trumpeting to all that the words being uttered actually matter.

So why, on the campaign trail, has the teleprompter instead become a symbol of ineptitude, mocked repeatedly by Republican candidates?

Picking up on a theme that has been rippling through GOP circles for two years, Republican presidential candidates are trying to use President Obama’s reliance on teleprompters to deflate one of his biggest strengths — his oratorical skill. If Obama can’t give a two-minute speech without a screen telling him what to say, the critique goes, it’s a sign that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and can’t be trusted to do his job.

“Obama ruined the teleprompter for the rest of the politicians,” said Fred Davis, a media strategist who advised Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in his 2008 presidential run and, until this summer, Republican candidate and former ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr.

10. And they are currently always mocking Biden for using teleprompter

I don't see a problem with teleprompter. It's actually a good thing because you should prepare well for any public speeches for everyone. Their obsession over teleprompter is weird even though I know they are insinuating that Biden is not all there.

4. I'm shocked, shocked I tells ya!

5. He knows this pledge of allegiance:

«Я, Дональд Трамп, принимая гражданство Российской Федерации, добровольно и сознательно клянусь соблюдать Конституцию и законы Российской Федерации, права и свободы ее граждан; выполнять обязанности гражданина России на благо государства и общества; защищать свободу и независимость Российской Федерации; быть верным России и уважать ее культуру, историю и традиции ».

18. LMAO

6. The Third Lady's lips never moved

I wonder why? (No, I don't; not really)

[Solly Mack]

7. What that man doesn't know is killing us.

[gademocrat7]

11. Two evil grifters

who have no empathy for this solemn ceremony.

[Totally Tunsie]

12. He doesn't know the words to "The Star Spangled Banner" either.

He sure learned "No collusion" easily enough.

[Nevilledog]

14. Let's get him to do the Lord's prayer next.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. It would probably come out...

"Donald tRump, who deserveth Heaven, hallowed is MY name. MY kingdom come, MY will be done, in Washington as it is in Palm Beach. Give me this day MY daily bread and forgive me MY debts, but I will never forgive my debtors. Lead me to temptation, and deliver me to evil."

(Excuse me while I duck that lightening strike!)

[Permanut]

13. "..with liberty and justice for all."..

Mango Mussolini wouldn't be able to get those words out in any case.

[BlueJac]

15. Boris and Natasha!

[dmr]

16. Melania doesn't even try, and she's got bigger hands than Donald's.

I guess Einstein Visa Melania thinks she too good for the Pledge. And, of course, Donald is just too ignorant. If this were the Obama's behaving this way ... well you know how the RWNJ's would react.

As an aside, look at their hands ... Donald's are really that small! At least compared to Melly's.

[Takket]

21. He doesn't know that national anthem either

Colbert lampooning him here for clearly not knowing the words

[Sogo]

25. ....and Melania doesn't care....

....Do U?
