It felt like @realDonaldTrump read the TelePrompTer message condemning hate groups like a hostage forced to read a statement by his captors.

(1,105 posts)He never really animates until he goes off script and ad lib's it.
Never fails, every time he does that everything he says bites him and the GOP in the ass

(840 posts)and so true. I can't stand to listen to Trump it is worse when he's reading other people's words.

You either read this or I quit.
Hmmm.
It's too late now, anyway. The Republican Party is now firmly connected to white supremacists. David Duke thanked Trump. The lunatic fringe wore khaki pants and white polo shirts in honor of their "Dear Leader."
It gets more disgusting every day.

(16,728 posts)as he read the teleprompter. They were written for him and he did not mean any of it. There was no heart, just empty words from an emptry man.

(3,434 posts)...read every word vebetim or else, and he did just that...didn't he--as if he was holding a huge pedo between his nalgas.
Regardless, it was disingenuous, 2 days too late; hate groups are now more embolden, planned white- kkk-nazi-terrorist hate march, in San Antonio; planned for September 11, 2018. Seems like read a recent tweet or something he announced, that something big was going to happen in September. Wonder what he meant?

(9,760 posts)I would love to know who did write it.
Not batshit enough to be Miller. Bannon maybe. Though, of course, he wouldn't have meant what he was writing any more than Trump meant what he was reading. Attempted damage control.

(6,137 posts)his words mean nothing to alt right. As long as he has these individuals in WH who are directly linked to neo nazi movement, he continues to empower them.

(7,220 posts)As Bryan Cranston said, Trump read the 2nd speech like a hostage being forced to say what his captors wrote.

(1,257 posts)It probably goes without saying that he will not change.
It would just be a tad more difficult for him to be influenced by those clowns if they were removed.
The Generals may try to do their best to have some sanity in the Whiter House, but we as a nation have a very serious problem that goes far beyond the so called "human" that occupies the oval office.

Sounded like something a hostage would read with a gun to his head.

(81,110 posts)I knew as soon as I saw him make that statement today -
#1 AHA - he's reading straight off the teleprompter.
#2 - there's that word "egregious" again. Bet he doesn't even know for sure what that means except that it might be something bad. That's typically too big a word for him to be using. Proof that somebody wrote this up for him and stuck it in front of his face so he could read it.
This is NOT SuperVocabulary Man.

Was it really that obvious?

(9,670 posts)Miller? Nope. Bannon? Hell no. These guys comprise the Trumpian Axis of Evil.
General Kelly or Ivanka maybe. I doubt it was Ivanka, though; daddy would never hurt his little kitten's feelings by making a mockery of his condemnation.

Tone of voice and pacing completely different from his usual vitriol. He's monstrous.
