The braggadacio was still there, but muted compared to the usual level. He sang his own praises, and introduced the Sycophant Trio (McConnell, Ryan, Pence) to sing his praises, but it wasn't as over-the-top as it's often been in the past. He didn't seem as overconfident as we've come to expect.
I'm guessing that even as he probably demanded, in private, that the GOP Congress defend him, he was told he'd have to tone it down if he wants to discourage the talk that he's mentally unfit.
I also thought he was blinking more than usual, which is supposed to happen when someone is stressed and/or focusing hard on what they're saying (in Trump's case, trying desperately to sound intelligent and sane, no doubt after being told he HAS to avoid going off the rails this time).

Type 2 Diabetic.
Has High Cholesterol(with all the McDonalds he eats.)
Has High Blood Pressure.
Is out of shape due to being overweight.
Probably has Gout.
High PSA count.(Prostate issues)
Of course he will suppress the results from the American people and say how FIT he is. Just watch. Like his Tax Returns, people.

Trump is an employee of the People. We are his boss, not the other way around. It will be leaked out anyway, as information from the White House usually is.

If Trump approves a release, I suspect we won't see anything more than a cursory positive statement.

(34,661 posts)Ryan,McConnell,Grassley,and Hatch are going to take out Sessions,Rosenstein,and Mueller. All in one sweep in a attempt to kill TrumpGate once and for all.
Appears the Roberts court is in on this Power Play. All in a attempt to save the GOP majority one way or another. When talk of a national voter ID card surfaced,you can see it coming,as well as all Electronic Voting for all States.
Do these Suckers think we are that Stupid?

When Stewart of Utah shot his mouth off yesterday,that told me something is not right. Knowing Chris Stewart,he is a Player,and he is looking for a Guaranteed Federal Paycheck much like his Brother.
