Trump's LSU victory celebration @ the WH: "You got a good POTUS & they're trying to impeach the SOB"

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar
Trump ends LSU event by turning it into a rally: "You got a good [POTUS] now - even though they're trying to impeach the son of a bitch! Can you believe that?... we took out those terrorists like your football team would've taken out those terrorists!"

Players look uncomfortable

Especially that black guy in the blue jacket. Looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. So, did they get their Big Macs and pizza?

I hear the orange anus tried to order their coveted chicken sandwiches, but they told him to get in line.

I think that may be because he is referring to the specific character he plays depending on the audience. It has a motive and a target.

Con men are flexible and proficient with that kind of method acting. I mean, you have to be able to do that in order to play people right and not have them suspect it and even when they do, which is the best game they play.

...an anecdote from the Mooch, it was shared on Raw Story earlier this week and I'm too lazy right now to go back and find it, but basically he asked Trump "is this an act" and Trump replied "of course it is." He never left "Apprentice." It's all a goof, and a costly one.

You bet. It is a good act, really, because it seems that it is something people just have to get in order to see it. It helps to study the philosophy of media, linguistics, etc.

Of course, even if people want to debate it, my view is that show people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Maher, etc., are only about showmanship and it really doesn't matter if they really believe what they portray and say, it's really good income. If you are flexible and can method act, that's a formula for success in this spectacle. It is about the show.

The more evocative the character, the more people believe it and are convinced it is real and then react as if that is true. So, here we are, with both sides getting a show that fits from this great imposter. Now, he's playing a President from Oceania, circa 1984.

The very fact that those people haven't choked to death on their own toenails is very disturbing to me. Yet here they are, his proud base, moronically clueless, buying a very bad act. It has a very weird showbiz connection that is akin to really great movies being panned, while some shit movie makes mega billions. Who the fuck are these people? How did they become that way? Don't answer I know, I have 4 children that I raised carefully, these fucks who hate abortion have kids and treat them like trash. Here are your Trump supporters.

It’s a trick egotistical people use to say things about himself that wouldn’t pass muster if he was talked about himself. “They say...” variations to make himself look good pretending that’s what he’s been told about himself.

If instead of saying, “I’m a real beautiful woman who is a knockout” I say, “They say I’m a beautiful woman who is a knockout”, I can get away with it because I’m not really bragging about myself.

In truth I’m a 71 year old matronly woman.

The team is at least half black players, and yesterday's poll says 80% of black americans think DOLTUS is a racist.

So, he had 40$ of the team already hating him, and then how many of the white players are really good friends with some of the black players.

The OP said the players looked uncomfortable. I think a good % didn't want to be there at all, but they don't have the power of pro athletes to just say "No, i'm not going."

In the words of Yoda, there is no Try, there is only Do or Do Not.

The House has done it Trump. You've been impeached. Keep it up. You can be the first President* to be impeached multiple times.

Fred Trump married an illegal Scottish immigrant. So given his views on immigrants maybe Donald feels justified in calling his mother a bitch.
