Yes that's right, for the first time ever, today's Pic Of The Moment is a video!
I happened to catch a bit of Trump's speech at CPAC last weekend and was struck by how terrible he looked and sounded. So I went back and looked at footage from his speech to CPAC ten years ago -- before he announced he was running for president -- and the difference is stark.
This is a 20 minute long video comparing the two. I know it sounds slighly insane to ask you to sit and watch Trump speak for a full 20 minutes, but if, like most of us, you are still somewhat traumatized from 2016 election results, this video may set your mind at ease a little. The Donald Trump of 2016 is gone.
