I am going to make a prediction:

I have a feeling that All this Racial Hatred Trump has will come out in his state of the Union address. He can't stay on script without having to add his two cents and who knows what he will say. Expect the worst ...because He gets a kick out of shocking the world by showing how much he gives a fuck about his job. He is only there to entertain himself, frankly.

he usually does. He's just asking for someone to call him out on his lies, and the GOP will have no one to blame but themselves since, 1) they started it by disrespecting President Obama, and 2) if he tells a lie, everyone in that chamber will know its a lie and he deserves to be called out on it and not applauded for it.

Remember when that GOPutz yelled "You lie!" during one of Obama's SOTU's?

Well, ok, now we have a dyed-in-the-wool liar, who has lied about EVERYTHING!

Seems like a golden opportunity for multiple Dems to frequently call out "Lie!" "Another lie!"

I mean, can we call a liar a liar or not? What better audience?

Trump would freak out bigly.

Perhaps we should start a campaign and call up Dems and INSIST they call out "Lie!" when appropriate.

This speech will likely contain more lies than any previous SOTU in history, another "first" for the Donald.

I can picture him in a cowboy outfit designed by his daughter. Rhinestones spell out "MAGA" on the back of a naugahyde vest that is five sizes too small. He has coffee grounds stuck in honey that is slathered on his face to create a "manly beard". He comes out whooping and hollering "riding" a stick horse that looks suspiciously like a My Little Pony. And then he starts firing his cap gun in the air. "Let's play cowboys and injuns," he says, leaning in close to the microphone. Evangelicals in the crowd drop to their knees and proclaim that their savior has come at last. White supremacists take him at his word and start playing "cowboys and injuns" for real, beating the crap out of anyone who looks the least bit non-Aryan.

Trump is a New Yorker, and probably hates Cowboy hats. I bet he won't even listen to country music. Infact, bet he hardly listens to music at all unless he is forced to. on the Elevator.

Remember Obama had his music list of stuff he liked to listen to? I bet Trump doesn't own any kind of device for music. The man has no soul, so there for music is nothing to him.

if he brought out the racial Slurs... including the "N" word. If he did, the Republicans will say they didn't hear it, and the Dems though shocked would still be powerless to do anything other than to use it for future Commercials for those running against him. What am I saying, he won't do a second term, he hates his job! (That is if we still have a country left, by the time there is a second term.)

Which will cause some otherwise sensible pundits to lose their heads and claim that "At long last, Trump appears to finally be embracing the seriousness of his role as President."

Two days later, he'll openly mock the accent of the Mexican president and attack Pope Francis and the Queen of England on twitter, while threatening to charge President Obama with treason.

Democrats at SOTU should boo or make similar sounds when 45 tells a lie. It might provoke him to say something so over the top that even his gop enablers would have to distance themselves. All those years of gop insults and obstruction against Obama did not hurt them. In fact, they picked up more State legislatures, Governorships and Congressional seats. We need to take off the proverbial gloves.
