3. I just posted in another thread that this is his xanax voice.

It is the fake voice he uses when he is pretending to be a decent human being.

No wonder people prefer his rallies. He's really painful when he's drugged and pretending to care about something other than himself.

I imagine his handlers did up the Xanax dosage for today, too.

how long do we have to put up with this?? He goes from a fight stance grimace to a drugged-like delivery on a day all Americans remember--where they were and what they were doing when the news of the Twin Towers exploded across the country.

And what was the Trumpster's reaction on that day? That his building was now the tallest in NYC. Because he has no genuine empathy.

The man is a disgrace.

I doubt the man was even aware of Shanksville until someone handed him the speech

15. Was going to ask who is the imposter

I turned in mid comments. He looked like Trump, had Trump voice, but was dignified, eloquent, mentioned the heroic acts, gave personal stories.. Never heard the "I" word, never attacking anyone... I guess there was a teleprompter but still... First time since the elections that he sound... there I say it? presidential.

17. Very s-l-o-w-l-y - you can tell Trump is not into giving this speech

Notice the speech writers only used only simple words - so Trump would hopefully be able to pronounce all the words.
