..."Oh, thank God! What a relief!"

My guess is that it triggered his "double-down" instincts so it wouldn't look like he ran with his tail between his legs after the "light and disinfectant" fiasco.

Please note how these CEOs genuflect and show deference and servility to Trump. I wonder how much of the American taxpayer's money was used to make all those cushy no bid govt contracts?

He was pitched so far forward I thought he was going to fall on his face. He looked like a senile old coot the way be kept rocking back and forth. Or maybe he just has so new, higher heel lifts in his shoes and isn't accustomed to the height.

When he messes up a press conference, he often comes back with a teleprompter speech to keep him "on task".....But Trump on a teleprompter is a snooze-fest

He goes between "unhinged" and "snoozefest" like clockwork
