JFK telling the country about life-threatening Cuban missiles.
George W Bush trying to calm the country after 9/11.
Now the Oval Office is simply used for a recycle/rehash of fake partisan talking points, in aid of a faux crisis. Networks cut Trump some slack, here.....although this morning they probably wonder why.
Blabbed on about the drugs, even though 90% (according to his own officials) comes in though legal points of entry.
Blabbed on about the murdering/rapist hordes flowing over the border, even though the vast majority of illegals are overstays
Blabbed on about Democrats asking him for a steel barrier (yet another lie)
He did drop the line, that 4,000 terrorists have crossed into the country from the porous southern border. Probably because Sarah Sanders, got demolished on Fox News by Chris Wallace, on it.
Then this business of Trump breathing heavily, gulping and rambling on about how he looked into peoples eyes, held their hands, felt their pain - while squinting right at the teleprompter. Having the king narcissist portraying himself as some agent of compassion and empathy, was as phony as a two dollar bill or for that matter, this entire cooked up "crisis"
True to form, the only time Trump actually seemed a bit animated, was when he went into fear factor mode, and rolled out a litany of murders and rapes, hammer beatings and knife stabbings, beheadings and dismemberments of Americans by “illegal aliens”.
The real current crisis, these days..... is having this immoral and mendacious idiot as US President.
