Worst "Comforter in Chief" performance ever

What a sad speech by the worlds leader (in name only). Reading in a lazy, lumpy manner, Trump ignored guns and read what others wrote for him. Sure to make NRA execs smile, his stilted and emotionless teleprompter performance only adds to the sad state of affairs we face today.

The federal response is over. The NRA has already won as there seems to be the "mental health" talking point has taken over even, as there is as of yet, no evidence of mental health issues here. This is a gun issue by a disturbed person, and the perp was able to legally purchase said weapon according to some reports. So, what federal response is left? All bases are covered for there to be no federal response except the specter that something is being done.

He actually has pretty good speech writers, when he uses them. I hate to say it, but it's true.

"Oh shit, looks like we have to do something this time. Go back and see what Obama did, and we'll do that."

Obama DID have good speechwriters.


That's disgusting. Bad enough for Milania to "borrow" from Michelle. But for Trump's minions to plagiarize is even more unforgivable. I wonder if anyone in the media will pick up on it?

Saying nothing at all right now would have been less offensive. He doesn't care and he proves that every single day. How anyone continues to listen to this heartless, clueless moran is beyond me.
