Trump just delivered the most low key medal of honor speech ever given. He couldn’t pause properly between the end of a sentence and the start of the next one. It was about as sincere as a 10 year old boy being forced to apologize to his little sister for decapitating her Barbie.
He said he wouldn’t get bored with this war with all the vigor of someone already bored by the speech he is delivering. And then, out of nowhere, he dovetailed right into the fucking Epstein ballroom and its drapes. He got clearly excited about this process. You see, he had picked out those drapes in his first occupation. He was jubilant to cover useless details, and he mentioned how Melania is sick of the construction noise, as if she’s in earshot of the White House.
This was as pathetic a speech as any he’s given, but it’s very clear he was talked out of calling those already dead suckers and losers and was instead forced to read something off of a teleprompter as monotone and disinterested as possible. It was only when he got to the monstrous ballroom that he showed any interest at all. Then the live news feed was cut off as he was clearly meandering into the woods of dementia and lies.
UPDATE:
I’m not sure anyone will bother to transcribe that mess, so here’s what I’ve got, courtesy of CNN. Note this is the CNN live feed, so that link may go somewhere else.
“Following our obliteration of Iran’s nuclear program and Operation Midnight Hammer a short while ago, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location, because they were unable to use the ones we so powerfully blew up, but they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons,” the president said.
Trump was referring to US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites in June, which the White House claimed “totally” obliterated Tehran’s nuclear program.
“The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases, both local and overseas, and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America,” the president continued in his remarks Monday.
“This was our last best chance to strike — what we’re doing right now — and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime. And they are indeed sick and sinister,” Trump said during remarks from the White House today.
Followed by:
Moments after delivering a closely watched update on the US’ war with Iran, President Donald Trump pivoted to [his] priority closer to home: the White House ballroom.
Trump boasted about the construction around him during a Medal of Honor ceremony, predicting the renovations would create “the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world.”
It’s all so infuriatingly embarrassing.
