Will he even take questions?

PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,746 posts)to inhale with an open mouth, that you should always inhale through the nose. It's not sniffing, it's simply breathing, although he's noisier than most.
Once I watched an interview with Princess Caroline of Monaco, and she did that exact same thing: always closed her mouth and inhaled through her nose for each breath. It was annoying and distracting. There was something about the way she presented herself that made me think that she'd been told what I said above. It also slows down a conversation considerably, because you can gulp air more quickly through the open mouth than just through the nose.

At times I can just ignore his vast stupidity but today was not one of them. I actually wished out loud that hed drop dead on the spot. Blow a gasket, a massive Infarct, cerebral vascular explosion. Not proud of that but just being honest how I feel. That wont solve all the problems he has brought upon the world but at least we would not have to ever have another presser like we witnessed today.
I am just wondering if he has the slightest clue how much he is despised? I doubt it but I hope before he draws his last breath he has a glimpse of reality. That will truly be his hell on earth moment. Grrrr, I am still pissed after seeing that sh*t show.
