Only 24 hours after he read a serious speech off a teleprompter committing to send more young men and women to fight in Afghanistan, President Trump reverted to form, delivering a rambling, rage-filled, 77-minute harangue that was alternately defensive, angry, accusatory and just plain weird. Like a trapped animal, he lashed out in every direction, trying unsuccessfully to draw blood.
The opening 15 minutes or so were devoted to relitigating — and lying about — his response to the Charlottesville incident. He omitted his words a few days after the death of Heather Heyer in which he claimed that there were “fine people” on both sides and that there was blame on “many sides.”
All in all, he appeared desperate, out of control and emotionally needy. If Sen. Bob Corker expressed concern last week that Trump was not demonstrating fitness to lead, one can only imagine what he and other Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, with whom he is feuding must think now.
And once again, we saw that Trump is incapable of uniting the country. When he speaks from his heart, we see a hollow man whose bile, dog whistles (calling those local officials who would take down offensive Confederate monuments “weak, weak”), ignorance and narcissism prevent him from governing on behalf of all Americans. All he knows is how to beat the drum of white grievance, rile up an angry crowd and spread discord. His hate is consuming him, bringing his presidency crashing down before a horrified public.

LOL!
Bezos’ billionaire blog is at it with more lying.
Trump was great. He exposed the MSM lies about his press conferences and rallied his troops.
He should do another half dozen of these around the country in states where elections are coming up.
Is that a man in a wig?
FU Jennifer Rubin.
You are batsh!t from RINO crap.
I wonder how she really feels.
Bill O'Reilly: "You are ill-prepared for this interview, Ms. Rubin"
Obama couldn't put three words together without his teleprompter.
LMAO. When I saw that photo, my first thought was that it was one of the finalists in that infamous ‘Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians’ web story from some years ago.
I knew which bitch wrote this before the end of the first sentence.
TDS.
5.56mm
She must have been viewing a jOkeass speech.
does anyone read Rubin anymore? She is mental.
The Washington Post is worse than all of them. They’ll make up a fake news story and then all the other network and media outlets ..... “The Washington Post is reporting ....... blah ... blah ... blah ....”
Repeat it enough times and .......
I am boycotting Amazon. The best alternative I have found is Jet.com. Jet.com is now owned by Walmart. $35 and no shipping fee. Almost everything you can buy at Walmart/Sams except perishables. Walmart isn’t my favorite but they’re the only online company that can compete with Amazon. I prefer it to Amazon.
Jennifer Rubin, globalist among globalists.
I think Jennifer Rubin once played "Ricky" in "Seinfeld."
They’re trying to force impeachment now under the amendment that allows Presidents to be removed from office for incapacitation.
They’re trying to claim he’s mentally deranged - because they don’t like what he says.
Heh.
Those of us who have actually produced things of value think that he is very fit for the office.
Others who have no ability to think and reason and therefore became journalists, further demonstrate why they have never produced anything of value.
And never will.
If it is, he’s not doing a very good job of it.
Trump’s purpose was clear: To show the Republican Party officials the hell that awaits them at the polls in 2018 if they don’t get with the program.
Trump’s supporters are still with him, and will exact vengeance on a simple call from him.
If Trump publicly calls for his supporters to NOT VOTE for a particular candidate in the GOP primary, they are surely doomed.
Just a typical liberal bigot; the kind that complained Melania wearing white means she’s a racist but Hitlery wearing white means she’s ready to be President.
