I listened to about 10 minutes of the buffoon's presser. reminded me of...

a combo of someone trying to do a sell job on a timeshare or get someone into multilevel mareting

and

an emcee from a beauty pageant

and

a lampoon of a really terrible politician

(and more - my mind couldn't wrap around what I was hearing).

Vocabulary rarely extends beyond "wonderful" "Beautiful" "great" "amazing"

There was not an atom of anything presidential or competent.

I got back in the car and NPR was doing their wrap - or trying to. They weren't particularly cogent or coherent - which made me realize that our media is not at all equipped with this sort of gaslighting, lie a second politician. Which is a very perilous situation.

If #watersportsgate had me chuckling last night, just that small bit of time in the car listening brought me back down to earth - we are in a very, very bad spot.

I could not stand any more after that. He seemed to be recycling one of his stump speeches, but at slower speed. Maybe he was heavily medicated. Don't know that for sure, but some people were saying.....

without one decent actor involved.

Amateur idiocy...with highly lethal threat to the viewing audience.
