Sedated Sounding Trump Wastes No Time…Calls Kamala Harris ‘Nasty’ and Mispronounces Her Name
In the glow of the historic announcement out of the Biden campaign, Trump took to the podium for yet another “presidential press conference,” which are nothing of the sort. Trump read through a bunch of numbers, facts, and figures, that he believes make him look good politically. It is nothing more than a very drawn out and boring campaign statement.
Today Trump talked about what he calls domestic terrorists and anarchists – a word that he slurred through twice, attempting to convince poor Fox viewers that the nation is on fire and only Trump will stand up for law enforcement. Trump said that Democrats want every city to look like Portland.
Apparently America has become a violent hellscape under the current president, at least that’s what I think Donald Trump is telling us

Trump referred to himself in the third person a few more times saying that the pharmaceutical industry is attacking “your president” because he is fighting so hard to lower prices.
I’m stil not a Harris fan, but it looks like they practically had to shoot Trump with a tranquilizer rifle for him to be able to talk right now, so maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea.

The press conference format wouldn’t be a good one for Trump even if Trump could read, but he struggles to read in the best of times, watching Trump stand at a podium and read his notes is not only difficult but it makes one feels used and dirty. It is like he’s imposing himself upon everyone but he can’t be bothered to care that the viewer is in the room.
Trump assured everyone that college football should start, a lot of young great people are able to “fight it off,” and eventually people will develop sufficient immunity, and they should “stand for the flag.” Trump meandered through some of the most compelling issues in the United States, each of which deserves serious attention, but Trump can’t be bothered to engage anything beyond the most superficial analysis. He mentions each while reading under his breath.
Trump, mid-coronavirus update, is talking about the ratings for the NBA.

Trump took questions and tripped over “an executive AOFFER” and then restated it, an “executive order.” Trump truly appeared out of it.
“An executive offer, an executive order, you know that right”

A reporter just asked a really long question about Harris, and Trump couldn’t follow it, and he now just resorting to talking points because he didn’t retain or understand the original question.
randomly saying things like “fracking”

Asked about Kamala Harris, Trump continued to slur his speech badly – as soon as he got away from his notes Trump’s slurred speech became increasingly noticeable.
Every time a major moment has happened that would require Trump to look like he wants to fight for a second term, like the VP choice, he seems extremely subdued, as he does right now at this briefing.

“Subdued” is a very charitable word. Trump appeared very much out of it.
He attacked Kamala Harris as being the “nastiest” of the U.S. senators to Justice Kavanaugh, and then said that she was the most liberal Democratic senator – which would shock Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and Sherrod Brown.
Trump: “Harris was nastier to Joe Biden than Pocahontas.”
He is now pivoting to call on OAN. He got totally lost in that Snowden question – which he never answered – and now he’s going to go for his comfort food. I bet it’s the last question

And of course Trump couldn’t pronounce her name correctly. He doesn’t care enough to learn:

But the story coming out of this press conference was the slurred speech. Trump also wrapped up the press conference very suddenly after his rambling answer on Harris being “nasty” to Justice Kavanaugh.
As is his new style, President Trump only takes a handful of questions before leaving the briefing room without answering a shouted question about his previous donations to Kamala Harris.

Mr. President when are you going to stop lying to the American people. No answer as he lumbered off stage @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/4wOQ8CjBLm

It was one of the weakest, most “sedated” and slurred press conferences of Trump’s tenure and something seems very “off” about Trump.
Trump clutches a pillar as he stumble from the podium, completely woozy from whiffing brutally on the Kamala Harris pick. Stumbles through the sliding door muttering "Pence, evangelicals, Kavanaugh." Beaten man. Poor little fascist.
