Trump is going totally off-script (and off the rails) at CPAC.

[Atman]

He's in his element, playing to an adoring crowd of sycophants and morons. He's rambling worse than usual.

[Freethinker65]

1. Please proceed.

[Atman]

5. He literally stopped mid-sentence to admire himself on the overhead monitors!

"Who is that handsome man?" Then he pretended to preen and do his hair, but wouldn't even touch his own shellac job. He made a joke about covering his bald spot, while posing for the jumbotron, and telling the crown how awesome he looks. They ate it up.

Then he segued into his usual bullshit about how he "honestly believes" that he has had the best first year of any presidency in history. It's as horrible as any Trump performance art I've ever seen.

[emulatorloo]

6. Who does that? He is one sick puppy. This is just another manifestation

Thanks for posting the report.

[Atman]

9. Well, it didn't take long for him to prompt them into chanting LOCK HER UP!

He's pressing all the extremist hot-buttons. I'm half-expecting him to talk about the very nice Nazis soon. Of course, this crown will probably give him a standing O for it.

[Freethinker65]

12. Thanks for the update. Surreal.

[Neema]

21. Saddam Hussein had his information minister say all the delusional shit. Cheeto says it himself.

Seriously, the dude is going to strip and take a dump on stage at one of these speeches and the crowded is going to cheer like he just cured cancer.

[Clarity2]

43. CPAC is the titanic

Full of people unraveling as the ship goes down.

It will probably unravel more as the day goes on, after hearing about Gates plea.

[RKP5637]

2. The guy always reminds me of someone walking down the street ranting and raving to no one.

He's a total loon!

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. Oh, God.

I keep thinking this can't get any worse and then it does.

[BeyondGeography]

4. Leave the child be

He must live in the moment.

Probably not the best trait for a President though.

[nocalflea]

7. Big news dropping. So yeah, deflect, deflect, deflect.

I hope they enjoy his performance so much, he gets jazzed, then he feels invincible and says something incriminating.

[jpak]

8. Lock her up! - what horseshit

dumbasses

[spiderpig]

10. It's running in the background while I am thinking "What a loon"

If this isn't the definition of insanity, I don't know what is.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. He's heaping praise on himself out the wazoo.

Now nattering about "beautiful clean coal".

[BigmanPigman]

13. I can't stand to watch him but I bet he is giving the identical, word by word,

speech that the other fake prez (Wayne) gave yesterday, only without the self flattery.

[Atman]

17. No, he's far worse.

He's in ego-overdrive. He is incessantly talking about himself and his own greatness. It's sickening, even for a Trump speech.

[BigmanPigman]

56. I glad I chose to avoid it...

I would've lost my breakfast.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. OMIGOD! Now he's on about "beautiful, clean" coal and worse...

[spiderpig]

15. Can yo believe this? And now he says he's going off-script.

Lord love a duck.

[dewsgirl]

16. Was he not already off script? What a lying bufoon.

[LuckyCharms]

18. I hope he doesn't have a stroke...

and drop dead during the speech.

That would be awful.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. You forgot this:

[MFM008]

23. Especially since

I'd miss it LIVE.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. If such a terrible thing should happen, please post right away

so I can turn on my TV, because I don't want to miss it.

[RhodeIslandOne]

34. Im not entirely sure he hasnt had several since he started n/m

[dalton99a]

19. "More presidential than anybody!"

[Atman]

20. "Our nation's motto is 'In God We Trust.'"

Uh...no Mr. so-called president, our nation's motto is "E Pluribus Unum." Out of many, one. The exact opposite of the bile you're spewing.

[Mariana]

31. No. It used to be "E Pluribus Unum", once upon a time.

It was changed to be "In God We Trust" in 1956.

[Atman]

38. When was that made the "official" motto?

It is just a phrase added to money. E Pluribus Unum is still on the official seal, and everything else.

[Mariana]

40. Uh, in 1956.

36 U.S.C. § 302

[Mariana]

42. Public Law 851

JOINT RESOLUTION
To establish a national motto of the United States.

Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the national motto of the United States is hereby declared to be "In God we trust."

Approved July 30, 1956.

Signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower

[Atman]

46. Well, thank you.

Somehow, I never knew it was made official. Good to know.

[Mariana]

51. I like E Pluribus Unum much better. nt.

[Atman]

24. "Catch and release." He is literally just 100% making stuff up now.

He just told the adoring nutter crowd that our terrible laws say that when ICE catches a criminal in the act of a heinous crime (never mind his bizarro dive into "slicing them up, cutting them up into little pieces) that we're required to release them. Catch and release. That's what we do, catch and release! We need to get them out of our country!

Apparently only scary brown people who cross the borders commit heinous crimes, and then we catch and release them.

This man is a fucking nut case. But you knew that.

[Atman]

25. "You knew I was a snake before you took me in."

Did he actually intend that to be a metaphor for his own election?

[dalton99a]

26. That was a good one

[KewlKat]

27. I tried to watch but I had to change the channel.....how do we get him out of our house?

[Faux pas]

28. Glad someone here is

watching him since I refuse to. I wait for the news shows to recap.

[Atman]

30. There is too much material here for the news to do a "recap."

Virtually every word out of his mouth is more absurd than the one before it.

[Faux pas]

44. Oh noes!

Days of recapping then? Anything to make us look here, not over there.

[PatSeg]

49. It sounds intentional then

He needs a lot of diversion right now to deflect the shit-storms coming his way.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

32. I'm getting in before fox news

REGAN NESQUE?

😂😂😲😲

[nolabear]

33. They're going to have to hook him off. He's off into every stupid idea he's ever had.

[riversedge]

35. I just tuned it in a few moments ago. He is dissing on NAFTA and how he will make great deals.

[Kittycow]

45. I wonder if the corn farmers who voted for him

know that Mexico is lining up Brazilian corn imports for the whole of 2018, to the tune of billions of dollars.

[LisaM]

36. Wayne LaPierre did himself no favors yesterday

Let's hope this has the same effect.

[Blue_true]

37. He is in front of ones that adore him.

He could shit into his little hands and throw it at them and they would wildly cheer.

[The_Casual_Observer]

39. He is in his element. He knows exactly what he is doing there.

The rubes are eating it up. Its all a big joke to that fucker he doesn't care what he says just as long as it gets a big applause.

[Leghorn21]

41. Fun tweets:

[eppur_se_muova]

47. LOL ! Have to remember "liarrhea" ! nt

[Elwood P Dowd]

55. One of the side effects of Trump's Brain Spur medication is "liarrhea". (nm)

[Vinca]

50. I've so totally had it with this bloviating moron.

The way he's talking about guns and the response to violence, you'd think he had actually served in a war zone. Someone needs to remind him there's a reason he's called Cadet Bone Spurs. Fucking chickenshit idiot.

[Atman]

53. If I hear him use the term "...over the last long period of time" I'm gonna explode.

WTF is "the last long period of time?" Bullshit words used by a man who absolutely ZERO command of the facts and is making stuff up as he goes along.

[procon]

54. Trump is like a washed up lounge act playing some dive bar on the outskirts of Vegas.

He had good show back in the day, got a lot of laughs from the drunks and rubes, but he's never upgraded his act. He's still parroting the same lines that worked for him in past, doing the same pratfalls, making the same rubber faced, clownish expressions, and preening with every hint of applause. Nothing ever changes.
