3. But all the time he is reading from a script he is very "presidential."

4. And are his knees tired.

Not to mention his lips. Those asses don't kiss themselves.

5. If he can pretend to be pResident

He should also be able to pretend to know where he is.

6. sigh...He is SUCH a child.

His minders are just relieved that he didn't say "I just flew in from the Middle East and boy are my arms tired."

BTW, He doesn't know this, but his entourage HAD to go from Saudi Arabia TO Israel because the Saudis would absolutely NOT allow a flight directly from Israel to land in Saudi Arabia.

I used to fly in the region.
