I'm going to take your (and their) word for it that he was ranting and melting down; I can't handle listening to that thing for more than a few seconds at a time.

There should be thousands of people "talking about this".

He is angry, mad, furious. Watch his expressions. He wanted to pull a greg gianforte and punch him.

knowing it's all lies. he's a cornered, rabid dog. everything out of his mouth is a lie. he's losing it.

It's your patriotic duty to endure it until at least the first lie.

Can we have him sectioned yet? He is so out of control. He is a danger to the nation and everyone that crosses his path. It's not even a matter of politics anymore, he just needs to be locked up for the good of society.

It's all very one-note. Him him him strong tough weak loser winner blah blah blah...

The vast trove of shit he has said and done will have some interesting things but overall it may seem kind of boring, after the fact. He's mostly just "mental" (pick any designation). :p
