Generally, it is ideal to have a president of the United States who does not fall asleep on live TV, can remember the names of our most famous monuments, and doesn’t freak out during an interview and then later blame it on the rain.
As you may have heard (especially if you get your news from sources outside of the network evening news), Two-Time Failed President Donald Trump has been having a hard time staying awake during meetings, including those on live TV.
Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

Despite the curious insistence of some major media outlets not to cover the Snoozy Donald incidents, many Americans are becoming aware of his inability to stay awake during the workday, thanks to social media and the fact that this is far from the first time he has dozed off on live TV. Jake Tapper, for example, seems curiously oblivious to Trump’s decline despite his near-stroke over Biden being old.
That was Thursday of last week. The following evening was a “roundtable for farmers” in Wisconsin.
First, there was the unusual occurrence that Trump spoke while seated, which is low energy indeed, and not something he has done much of at rallies.
very noticeable that Trump is doing his exact rally speech in Wisconsin, only sitting. Almost like he's not able to stand for a long period of time right now and the "roundtable" (nobody has spoken other than him!) is a front
Trump then basically told all the farmers that affordability was a hoax, which is great to tell Americans right now. Of course, his hard-core cultists could be told they have to murder their first-born, and they would do the best first-born murders anyone has ever seen, many people are saying.
Trump: "They came in and they said, 'affordability.' They made up the word."
But then came this moment.
Trump can't come up with the name of the Washington monument: "Washington DC between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington — just think about this — you know that beautiful spire?"
I suppose one could present the argument that in the grand scheme of things, the president of these United States forgetting the name of the WASHINGTON FUCKING MONUMENT is not a huge deal, what with a war going on, a very shaky economy, etc., etc., etc. However, I would counter that we probably need someone in charge, given all these Big Issues Facing Our Nation, who at least knows the name of the big world-famous spire thingy that he sees every day.
Then, yesterday, Meet the Press ran a prerecorded interview with Donald Trump, which took place in a barn in Wisconsin, I suppose as part of Trump’s farm propaganda, despite the fact that his war-not-war with Iran is hurting farmers by causing fertilizer shortages.
Kristen Welker, who can be infuriatingly clueless and soft in her approach to political interviews, was surprisingly fierce (in relative terms) with Trump. Welker pushed him hard on questions such as where’s the evidence that the 2020 election was fixed, and why is Iran and the economy a mess? Trump, of course, being the reasoned and level-headed leader that he is, threw a fit and eventually stormed out like a pissy teen girl.
Unfortunately, Welker didn’t quit while she was ahead and later yesterday posted this “oh so very sorry, Mr. President” Tweet that included this odd claim that the weather was a factor in Trump being so agitated.
Oh, honey . . . the only “weather issues” that affected that interview were the electrical storms in Donald’s head causing him to completely misfire, get pathologically defensive, and rain down a torrent of rude lies and BS.

If Donald Trump was agitated and thrown off his game by the sound of rain on a barn roof or whatever, then that raises some serious questions about his ability to function under pressure. At least it should. It would be nice if this was a top story on every evening news program, as it seems bad.
The last word goes to Keane.
Dozy Donny should try lip-syncing to a recorded speech. Which is just like using an “auto-pen”, but in real time.
The fact that the result would look like a badly-dubbed Gojira movie? The only thing that would recommend it.
