The Reviews are In: Trump’s CPAC Speech Was So Off the Rails It’s Obvious He’s Lost It
Trump was as out of control tonight as we’ve seen him in a long time. Perhaps some of the anxiety is catching up to him. He is on the run in the New York A.G. case, Letitia James may bring down the Trump empire and he will have to sit for a deposition, always a tricky thing for Trump. It might have something to do with all the revelations of late, the mutilation of documents, classified docs in Mar-a-Lago, and perhaps – just maybe – the fact that his buddy, Putin, seems to be in a bit of trouble. When one’s sugar daddy is maybe running low on honey…
Regardless, Trump was all over the map. At times he seemed to blame the SCOTUS for his loss, as if all they needed to do was take his case and declare him president, it was so simple:

There is a nation on earth that invaded a tranquil democracy and yet Trump wanted to talk about the tyranny in Canada (he did say it was wrong of Putin to invade.)

Trump went back to being the entertainer, the guy paid to do a routine after dinner, before dessert, telling some old war stories about the good old days and how tough he used to be, sorta dropped an F-bomb while telling the audience that he was tougher than any prior president.

Speaking of which, he wanted the audience to know just how bad Biden has been. Listen to this description and laugh out loud about his need to always be the salesman, always biggest, worst, greatest, most awful…
Trump claims “you could take the 5 worst presidents in American history, & put them together, and they would not have done the damage” that Biden has done. Reminder that Trump was the first POTUS in a century to preside over job loss. Then Biden presided over historic job gains.

Total, utter, insanity.
Twitter agreed:
Trump called killer Putin smart’ at CPAC tonight. Republicans will continue to kiss his ample ass instead of telling him to kiss theirs. There is no place in Democracy for traitors. They are all beyond redemption. It is time the media & Dem leadership takes them down.#FreshWords

Something struck me about Trump at CPAC, which is that he's somewhat a victim of his own political success. Because the entire GOP now sounds like Trump, Trump in turn now sounds like a generic Republican. So much of his success in 2016 was sounding *different* and standing out.

Just listened to snippets of Trump at CPAC. He is a sociopath. He is a traitor. He is a buffoon. Always remember, Putin didn’t do anything under the Trump presidency because they were in bed together. While Putin plays Trump in the long game, Trump stays a blind buffoon.

In the last 24 hours, Russian missiles have hit a children’s cancer hospital, a kindergarten, and a residential building.
In his CPAC speech, Donald Trump called Putin smart.

Trump just called the Canadian Government fascist in his speech at #CPAC. Admires war criminal #Putin, attacks the US’s closest ally. There are no words.

trump’s CPAC speech tonight further solidifies the fact that he’s Putin’s bitch, so I reiterate: If you love trump, you’re Putin’s bitch too.

It’s worth noting that Fox News isn’t carrying Trump’s CPAC keynote speech live.

Trump seemed to be on an upper at the start of his CPAC speech, now seems sedated. He seems not to understand the syntax of what he's reading off the teleprompter.

I was looking for a great fiction drama too watch tonight. Trump's @CPAC speech is certainly not great, but it IS fiction. Holy hell.

Trump's CPAC speech is a septic tank of lies, projections, delusions, and childlike emotional stuntedness. It is depressing to see those unable to use any critical thinking at all to, in a Pavlovian way, cheer him on as though he is their messiah.

At CPAC tonight Trump doubles down on his praise of killer Putin, again calling him “smart” and attacking America & NATO as “dumb”
He kisses Putin’s ass as Kyiv comes under brutal shelling
This treasonous bastard has betrayed America time and again. Go to hell, Putin and Trump
