What was the point of this prime time address? Normally, presidents only do this in times of war or national tragedy. But now that MAGA is in control, the GOP and the networks have decided that 20 minutes of drugged up word vomit is where we are at when it comes to a national address. It's like this country has been taken over by a mafia that snorts their own supply - and we have to witness it.

I mean yes, this. Why can’t the NYT headline tomorrow read “Trump STILL does not understand tariffs are a tax on YOY”

I'm so glad I watched a rerun of Barney Miller and I'll watch Kimmel for his take on trump's speech.

Was this a skit?

Speculation that this was supposed to be about invading Venezuela but got pulled last minute. Which would explain what Trump was speeding through this.

The military deployment has an 18 million a day burn rate and has been going on since September.

I love how the leader of the free world gets graded on a curve like this.

Given the gestapo on our streets, I don't think the US is part of the "free world" at the moment.

so now our own National Guard are the gestapo? FFS ! you are a total nutter

Not my post, but the ones terrorizing cities aren’t “our” National guard. They’ve been trucked in from other states. And frankly, beyond being masked thugs they’re also parasitic cowards. There. Is that more accurate?

Except he’s really not the leader of much of anything and we are no longer part of the “free world”. Have you seen all the masked thugs terrorizing cities?

Theoretically if somebody were to attack one of our NATO allies we'd have their back. Right? Maybe?

Not a bloody chance unless they directed funds or a plane directly to one of his accounts.

Well, it was exactly what Leavitt previewed yesterday.

Nothing but a bunch of pathetic talking points and false claims about how great everything is (but isn't really)...

And no questions from reporters?

Came across really really poorly. This was pathetic desperation.

Everything is kinda great right now though.

What's "great"? The Great Recession 2.0? Maga literally will eat Trump's feces.

I don’t even see what the point was. He didn’t convince anyone to change his mind about him except maybe some military members with the cash. Every thing else has already been said before.

You meant "grate", right?

No the pp meant “grift”
