SOTU prediction

[Proud liberal 80]

The idiot will stay on script reading from a TelePrompTer (not well I should add). He will get by without making a mistake and have some military wife in the crowd pulling at America’s heart. The media (not just Fox) will say it was a superb speech. Van Jones will say that “Trump became President tonight”

[CTyankee]

1. No. Everyone hates him now. Dems in Congress will boycott in droves and no one will want to

hear one word out of his mouth. He will make a farce out of this moment and disgrace himself and the GOP and the media will duly report it.

[PJMcK]

2. Deep thinking tonight, eh, '80?

Just kidding!

You're right, of course. It'll be a completely staged bullshit event with a couple of "spontaneous" eruptions to make it feel "real."

[lunasun]

3. Yep he already MAGA'd . Stock market jobs military bad things bad people

Media will reply USA!
I will not watch

4. I predict I'll have a blistering hangover...

the next day...

[NanceGreggs]

5. That's exactly why ...

... I'd like to see Democrats boycott the event.

If Shithole Trump sees a swath of empty seats, he'll be enraged - which always prompts him to go off-script.

In addition, if he thinks he's surrounded only by people who support him, he'll launch into a tirade about those who refused to attend - which will inevitably lead to some "quotable quotes" from the douchebag's mouth.

6. You left out the part where he hits twitter the next morning and sounds insane! nt

[Freethinker65]

7. It will be deserving of an Oscar or a Razzie. No middle ground.

8. GMTA. This is what I posted on a thread yesterday:

9. He will read someone else's words from a teleprompter, in a monotone. Then a bunch of
pundits will exclaim that he was soooooo presidential. Van Jones might even get a bit choked up over how Trump became president tonight, period.

And I will throw up in my mouth a bit.

11. Lol

I promise I didn’t see your post.

[tblue37]

16. I think we both reacted to what is patently obvious. LOL, though, that we both

hit the Van Jones point at the end of our description of how it would go down.

[L. Coyote]

9. He'll slip up and use the "N" word. He's way past due on that.

And his fans will cheer.

[Initech]

10. He'll congratulate himself, blame the democrats, and declare war on North Korea.

[left-of-center2012]

12. Trump will "sniff" throughout the whole speech

He will claim (as in the past) that he didn't 'sniff',
and that it was a malfunctioning microphone.

[Generic Brad]

13. You man a repeat of what happened last year?

And then he will blow it again within 24 hours.

[Marie Marie]

14. My prediction: Whatever happens, the following morning,

he will go on and on about what a great speech it was and that people are saying it was the best SOTU by any President EVER!!

[nadine_mn]

15. I think it will be a pre-recorded televised speech

Heavily edited. I don't think he has the stamina to do it AND stay on message. When he isn't doing a rally and has to stick to the script, he sounds heavily medicated like he was hit with a tranq dart.

He is a vampire, he gets energy from adoring fans which is why he can ramble on for over an hour at his rallies. There is no script he has to stick to (they try but then he gets side tracked) so he can just play to the base.

But the audience he will be in front of this time will be much more hostile, even his GOP supporters will be subdued. Without the adoring fan energy to sponge off...I don't think he can do it.

I think they will have him do pre recorded thing from the Oval Office like that did recently for the press pool.

That way they can edit out the worst of it and give him plenty of naps ...err Executive Time

17. Our media is easily impressed to the point of absurdity.

The praise tomorrow will be nauseating. Prepare for CNN analysts to disavow any criticism of Trump they made in 2017 and offer to kiss his feet because he was able to read a speechwriter's words without screwing up.

[LeftInTX]

18. Naa....Van Jones will say, "He has redeemed himself"

Because he "became presidential" last time, so Van will have to say something different.

Otherwise you are right on the money!!

Did Van Jones tear up last time? I predict he will tear up again.

[RussBLib]

19. why tolerate the liar?

call a spade a spade, a racist a racist, and a liar a liar

I hope a few Dems disrupt his speech with a few choice "Lies!"

The spectre of everyone applauding his lies is just bad theater.
