Trump's Bizarre Stream of Consciousness Pressie

People voted for Trump precisely because he was not like a typical stereotypical politician. For better or worse, the people got what they wanted.
Come on, Loc.........if there wasn't at least a couple of moments when even you winced at that performance yesterday, then you are truly and hopelessly lost. It was the most un-Presidential news conference I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing and I've seen hundreds over the decades.
He did list what he sees as his accomplishments so far though even while doing so, he couldn't resist going off on wild tangents, boasts and broken sentences.
As an example...
"Well, that's what I've been talking about for a year and a half, strong borders. They're so surprised, oh, he having strong borders, well that's what I've been talking about to the press and to everybody else. One promise after another after years of politicians lying to you to get elected. They lied to the American people in order to get elected. Some of the things I'm doing probably aren't popular but they're necessary for security and for other reasons.
And then coming to Washington and pursuing their own interests which is more important to many politicians. I'm here following through on what I pledged to do. That's all I'm doing. I put it out before the American people, got 306 electoral college votes. I wasn't supposed to get 222. They said there's no way to get 222, 230's impossible."

BTW, was anyone else slightly puzzled by the fact that though past nominees had been paraded in front of the camera as their names were announced, Alexander Acosta was noticeably absent yesterday? He barely got a paragraph of recognition, in spite of the fact that the presser was called specifically for the announcement.
"I just wanted to begin by mentioning that the nominee for secretary of the Department of Labor will be Mr. Alex Acosta. He has a law degree from Harvard Law School, was a great student; former clerk for Justice Samuel Alito. And he has had a tremendous career.
He's a member and has been a member of the National Labor Relations Board, and has been through Senate confirmation three times, confirmed; did very, very well.
And so Alex, I've wished him the best. We just spoke. And he's going to be -- I think he'll be a tremendous secretary of labor."
That's it..........barely a paragraph for the Secretary of Labor followed by pages of comments mixed with promises, accomplishments, numerous mentions of Hilary Clinton, the election, fake news and rants.
I think Donald's doing fine. It's the press that is in complete disarray. Convulsing with frustration that their fakery isn't gaining any traction.
1) my post is the reader's comment section of a blog
2) I didn't vote for Trump
3) a lot of people seem to be bristling because their idea of 'presidential' has been shook to the core
4) times have changed
5) change is relative and some will always oppose it
6) the media is the opposition party, they live on ratings
7) the cbc example is a prime example
8 ) king ralph and dave were a decent movies
9) hopefully this is the beginning of the end of status quo
10) times have just changed again
Unfortunately, it appears that what they wanted was a carnival barker, because that is what they got.
