1. One has to know them first in order to remember them

Eom

[awesomerwb1]

2. He's never known them. nt

[Sophia4]

3. Beyond belief! Really!

And he complains about people who take a knee.

But he never learned the words to this patriotic song???

Where did he attend grade school?

[quartz007]

7. I recently burned 78 candles..

I can barely remember what I had for breakfast. You will see...when you get to my age.

When I turned 70, I began to forget to zip up after peeing.
Now I sometimes forget to zip it down before peeing LOL.

[Sophia4]

9. I'm 75.

You and I are not pretending to be president of the United States.

We need someone in the White House who has a better, more present, mind that Donald Trump.

[quartz007]

11. I guess class is not needed anymore, to get elected president

How I miss the class and charisma of JFK.

[Sophia4]

25. And Obama!

[quartz007]

48. Yes, Obama & Bill Clinton both have enormous charm!

Wonder who will be nominated in 2020 against Pence. Noy easy to fill shoes of Barack or Bill.

I am almost certain Trump will not run even if out of jail in 2020.

[bdamomma]

51. President Obama

had class and was genuine and scandal free not like this POS we have now.

[Totally Tunsie]

57. and he would have sung "God Bless America" beautifully!

It's not that trumpie doesn't remember the words to this as well as The Star Spangled Banner, he had never learned them in the first place. trump's patriotism began AFTER he was elected...before that, he was just a bully who wanted power. He shows his phony patriotism only because he has to, not because it's genuine or ingrained.

I miss Obama.

[bdamomma]

62. me too

I miss him and his great speeches, not tweets either.

[tenderfoot]

10. WTF???

[quartz007]

12. Memory is the 2nd thing that goes!

I can't remember what was the first haha..

Since I am nearing 80, I empathize with memory loss of all geysers. My dislike of tRump is not about loss of memory, but about lack of class, lying and pardoning criminals such as Joe Arpaio & D'Souza. Not to mention raping the environment.

[rainin]

35. Neither dementia nor alzheimer's will erase memories from our childhood. A stroke could.

We might have trouble learning new memories, but we won't forget the Happy Birthday song, for example. Him not knowing this song is a disgrace, regardless of his age.

Plus, do we want someone with alzheimer's or dementia occupying the office of the President?

[True Blue American]

45. Dementia is short term memory loss

Alzheimer’s takes it all away.

I can remember the words to God Bless America. I can also remember the words to all the songs from my youth.

I can not remember a name.

[quartz007]

54. Names are hard to remember..especially after age 50.

Do not feel anything is wrong if you can't remember names.

[True Blue American]

70. Oh, I do not feel bad.

Life long problem. I share this trait with many others. and my memory is fine.


But I have seen many who suffer from both diseases. And it is sad.

[quartz007]

50. How old are you, if I may ask?

[rainin]

65. I'm old enough to know better than to speak in absolutes. It was lazy of me.

Having said that, I doubt he ever knew the words to God Bless America or the National Anthem. He doesn't care.

[catrose]

24. I can still remember the lyrics to many songs I learned as a child

What happened yesterday, not so much.

Maybe he never learned those words.

[Kittycow]

42. I'm 65 and never learned the song in question.

I just sang My Country Tis of Thee to myself though.

And a song I learned in Brownies

[True Blue American]

47. Hello Friend.:)

Nice to know another who remembers songs.

[quartz007]

52. I admire singers who can remember so many songs

I was never good at memorizing songs. But I am good at name that tune. Give me 5 notes and I know the song. My MP3 player has over 1000 music files, and I know which song is coming as soon as I hear first few notes.

I spent my teen years in India and must have sung India's national anthem more times than I can count. But now I have been in America for 50+ years and I have forgotten the anthem of India.

[saidsimplesimon]

4. Did he hear the tale of Humpty Dumpty?

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. Biggest faker of them all.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. Replacement shit show.

[Leghorn21]

8. I now call this tune "To the Prairies" - holy sjit - and also, "God Bless America" is trending

at #2 with a bullet!:

GOOD TIMES

[underpants]

14. Hilarious

[llmart]

29. Oh my lord...

Bobbing his ugly orange head like one of those German Shepherd dogs in the back window of an old car.

What a disgrace. Plus, has anyone else on here noticed how freakin' fat he's getting? Must be stress eating a lot these days. We can only hope the ole' ticker will give out.

[oberliner]

13. He wasn't unable to remember them

He never knew them in the first place.

[Flaleftist]

15. one of the greatest memories of all time!

[bearsfootball516]

16. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc should be playing this over and over

Hypocrisy at it's finest.

[NightWatcher]

17. Not a christian and doesn't give a shit about America...

He's the biggest phony in the word. He didn't even take the time to learn the words or try to fake it.

[lpbk2713]

18. Obama would be impeached.

But you won't hear a word about it on Faux.

[world wide wally]

19. Fraud, fake, phoney, liar, bullshitter, charlatan, con man, traitor piece of shit.

That is all.

[smirkymonkey]

37. I'll second that.

God, I hate him and I hate his fugly, fat face!

[bdamomma]

55. I second that

smirky I hate him too.

[smirkymonkey]

61. Hey bdamomma!

Hope all is well!

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. Bad Lip Reading needs to get on this right away!

It will be as good as his Super Bowl national anthem bad lip reading.

[Fritz Walter]

27. Beat me to it!

I'm guessing a lot of seriously off-tune humming when cadet bone spurs wasn't lip-syncing.
If they bundle it with the video of his trying to sing the national anthem, and maybe even a clip of him trying to recite the pledge -- with his hand placed over his left moob -- their YouTube ratings will skyrocket spectacularly (perhaps in time for Independence Day). And I'll be honored and happy to like and share said video.
Thank you!

[underpants]

21. WTF was that? Not just the words but WTF was that?

The West Point chorus as a prop?

The rest just had to be god awful pandering.

[KPN]

22. Do you think MSM will show this tonight?

Wouldn't that be a wonderful middle finger in his eye? ..... Not gonna get my hopes up, but nice fantasy.

[Fritz Walter]

33. Wait for it!

I'm counting the minutes until Stephen Colbert and his team have a go at this.
Not to mention Trevor Noah, John Oliver and other voices countering the establishment pundits.

Hopefully, their programs will include results of today's primaries. Rubbing his orange nose in the massive pile of shit that he has deposited on our great nation.

Please! Get Out The Vote. Too much is riding on this mid-term election!

[90-percent]

23. Zappa and the Mothers

did it fifty years ago. More respectfully, considering they got most of the lyrics right.

-90% Jimmy

[kimbutgar]

26. This was such a bs event to take the media off of Manafort being caught

Trying to tamper with witnesses.

I wonder if the Whitehouse has a list of things they can do to distract the media. I’d love to get the daily outrage list.

[MaryMagdaline]

28. Putin never taught him the words

[BannonsLiver]

30. I bet Red Don knows the words to Russia's anthem

And the equivalent patriotic Russian songs.

[BigmanPigman]

31. They should just have him lip sync to a pre-recorded

tape like lousy singers and cheesy musicians do. He would probably fuck that up too. He could pull a Milli Vanilli and it could skip, and skip, and skip, and....................

[Takket]

32. and let's not forget............

the guy that fires up his base with these absurd patriotism purity tests (that he doesn't give a fuck about, just wants to motivate stupid people) doesn't know the anthem words either......

Link to tweet

oh.... and the so called "Eagles fans" at this event? Those that came to support drumpf because they were embarrassed by their "unpatriotic team"? Crisis actors............ the real thing..............

[Totally Tunsie]

60. They rolled out all the WH staffers to be the "crowd"...

probably made them take a late lunch hour to do so.

[TlalocW]

34. He did this with the National Anthem as well before

Sang along then tried to mouth along in tune then closed his mouth. I also think he tried to look overcome with patriotic emotion when he closed his mouth, but I'm not sure I want to give him that much credit as an actor.

If there were some way to make him participate, I would bet good money that he can't say the pledge either - at least not in a timely manner with no mistakes.

[trof]

36. He really is a pig.

(No offense to pigs.)

[CatMor]

38. He does his ugly fish lips while singing.....

and he is more disgusting looking by the day.

[George II]

40. Fish lips, that's it! I've been trying to describe them for months. Thanks.

[CatMor]

41. Hi George II

Fish are cute it's trump who makes the lips ugly.

[Still In Wisconsin]

56. He looks like an ugly old bloated carp.

Fish lips is a perfect description.

[CatMor]

58. He sure does....

he makes the most weird faces of anyone I've seen.

[Totally Tunsie]

64. Fish lips and pig eyes...quite the alluring combo!

[George II]

39. It's not that he's unable to remember, he never knew the words.

[OldManTarHeel]

43. What a Fake SOB Patriot He Is . .

So sad.

[cstanleytech]

44. Its been so long since I heard it that I would probable botch it as well LOL

[Blue_true]

53. Any good President would have brushed up.

I haven't sang the song in decades, but I can still sing all stanzas from memory, the song is pretty short.

[Blue_true]

46. Really sad that we are being led by that fool. nt

[pazzyanne]

49. He doesn't even remember the word the the Star Spangeled Banner.

You know, that song that he loves so much and refers to as the national anthem.

[nolabear]

59. As Chris Hayes said, he just HAD to be front and center.

I laughed out loud at "Stand beside me..." Uh-huh. His clutch has slipped.

[LuckyCharms]

63. Plod stressed the periga

Sand in the glove
Shand inside hair, and slide hair
da da da
da da daa

[Beartracks]

66. Well, at least he doesn't salute while holding coffee! :roll eyes:

68. You had one job!

[Demovictory9]

69. hee!!! before the music starts he has this super smug look on his face

[PearliePoo2]

71. The asshole should have asked for a teleprompter with all the words on it in big letters!nt.
