So Today's Trip To Texas For Trump Was A Dress Rehearsal....

I hear he's going back on Saturday.

Hope he's watching the cable stations evaluations of him today. Perhaps he'll learn how he should conduct himself and he'll do better Saturday - but I doubt it. Usually when he's criticized for something - he doubles down and does or says it again.

If his performance does improve on Saturday - no one will believe it's sincere.

You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

and her stilettos probably have him in a rage.

I wouldn't be surprised if on Saturday he launches into an epic rant about the fake media and claims that "No president has done more for the victims of a flood than Donald Trump, believe me."
Then he will claim that Barack Obama never visited the victims of a natural disaster.

Trump is an asshole and he will always behave like one.

Every time he reads correctly from a teleprompter or sends out a normal tweet, the media sings Hallelujah, he's pivoting at last! Then, like Lucy and Charlie Brown, he pulls the football away from him. They'll never learn.

useless. Can't he just go the fuck away and leave everyone alone for once? I, for one, am tired of being outraged daily because of him.

and it will be soaked in his self-adulation and aggrandizment. I don't know this for certain, but have learned his modus operandi.

he will threaten someone if they don't make that happen. He will then want sanitized and pre-selected "victims" with whom to hug and play fake empathy. He'll want to be driven around in a high-water military vehicle a la Bush. It will all be Hollywood scripted. It will make most of us gag.
