I was taken back by his demeanor, as well. I have never seen him display a sustained deadly serious countenance. White hot rage is hard to choke down and he Iced it.
Actually bewildered, as were you, I wondered was he sick, or possibly had learned something he could not share. A rush of mixed thoughts concerning what exactly was behind his deadly serious detachment and unsmiling persona.
Thought something was definitely affecting FLOTUS, as well.
I noticed too
Sustained anger at someone......and there were multiple someone’s there!
Some grins from him, but no beautiful POTUS smile
Deadly serious
Hope we’re all wrong!
On his entrance:
I thought, “He’s effing Josey Wales coming into town!”
Melania was stoic, knowing what she was tasked to do later Rush medal). As is her way, she did not want to take any of the spotlight from her President and husband.
That Philly youngster showed genuine surprise as POTUS announced her scholarship. Her eyes just kept getting bigger as he led up to it. Made me smile.
And the family reunion was excellent as the father of my grandchildren served 3 tours in Ghanny. Hit home with me.
Then Nanzi tore it all into pieces with her contempt for the these “everyday” Americans.
We need a meme of Nanzi tearing each one of these people in half at the podium.
Thought something was definitely affecting FLOTUS, as well.

I know Our President loves his job, he loves all of us, and he loves Our Country and that is all that is on his mind and has been, why he ran for POTUS...
BUT: I wonder just how much can a person take...everything he does is great, he does his thinking, he does, I think with some people that no one even knows about, but look at the 3 years, people he thought were okay have stabbed him in the back, lied about him, leaked rumors and lies about him, and the House won’t work with him, they hate him because of Nanzi, and she herself have walked out of a meeting with him twice, that is bad right there, then she says things about him and you know the old game we used to play, start at one end and say something and then the last person says what they were told and it isn’t even like what was said at first...
I am wondering if he is ‘one and done’ and I wouldn’t blame him a bit, I don’t think he will, he will stay and do what he promised us he would do before he leaves, but investigation after investigation; and now impeachment that wasn’t even legal...come on, one person can only take so much, and when he was ‘his own boss’ and someone said or did something he fired them...our laws are different than having your own business although you have to be careful and have a paper trail or get sued...
I just think he is sick and tired of the b.s. and so are we, but the only thing we can do is vote them out...and maybe this is what we should be looking at, who do we vote in? Are we being informed on the people, do we research the people? Maybe all of this is OUR fault because like many of the Senators have said yesterday and so far this morning, you can vote people OUT if you don’t like them...
The word that comes o mind is focused, a man on a mission and not flippant or giddy...
His mission was NOT to come in and tell jokes but to convey what He has done and how He has led this country forward and upward, not what the Demo’s are spewing
If one takes some time and looks at the responses across the board on the Internet even Dems are impressed by the speech and the messages. Van Jones, no friend of the President spoke of the danger to the Democrats by his real and effective inclusion of Black Americans and the real progress and impact of what he is doing and has done. Of special note to me was the use of a term for “Education” and the delivery of it.
I love that he called it Government Schools, and the “Edutocracy” fully part of the Propoganda Ministry indoctrinating our youth and calling it Education. When he mentioned the “scholarships” being made available and how the Dems like the Governor of Pennsylvania denying them the battle was on.
So it was his game face, calmly and succinctly showing and sharing with the American People what he has done, and not sit there and counter punch that garbage they are spewing.
To me it was perfect, but obviously opinions vary...
Presidential
One of the very few times he looked at the Dems was when he spoke of the killing of the top terrorist in Iran. He was stone cold deliberate, precise and commanding. There was a message to those dems and they best be quaking in their Klan suits.
I wondered about the same thing.
