of course he doesn't do somber and he certainly doesn't do respectful.

For most people, somber and respect comes naturally. It doesn't for him, so he has to force it, and you can tell.

I mean, he came up with the bald-faced lie about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating on rooftops on 9/11, stuck to his story when called out by virtually the entire media, and paid no price.

Whatever else you might say about the Mango Mussolini, there’s little doubt that he’s learned well the notion that facts don’t matter when you make up a narrative that confirms what people already want to believe.

where he was cleaning up the dust and debris around the trade centers and looked up and there were Muslims on the New Jersey rooftops.............................................he's a fuckin hero and is going to get a commemorative "donnie the fuckin hero" badge from himself shortly.

I need a drink!

He stands there so uncomfortable delivering his lines.

I always say it's like he's portraying a President in some movie. Badly.
