4. One can only hope. No one deserves it more.

Actually it's probably pretty hot out there.

[sprinkleeninow]

17. Yah, the Cov-id-fefe. Mb that what orangeous trying to tell us way back with that cryptic tweet.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Who let the air out of his balloon?

Oh yeah, I forgot. I think I heard something about a slight dip in the polls. (in reverse).

[FeelingBlue]

5. Creepy

What’s with Trump tonight. It feels creepy to watch him. Is he drugged? Scared?! What the heck?!?!

[Totally Tunsie]

11. Stoned?

[LeftInTX]

31. teleprompter

he's horrible at it

[Hortensis]

42. THIS. He literally doesn't understand what "perspective" and

"virtue" are. He doesn't feel them. So he dutifully plods through the speechwriters' words, while his followers know it and wait for their real Donald Trump to roar "and we're going to build that wall!"

And, of course, listening to him recite what they know the world thinks of them should be subduing.

[Demonaut]

6. they are busy eating every word uttered from his mouth, raptured

[dalton99a]

7. Asshole can't even read the teleprompter

[JohnnyLib2]

8. Really strange speach--

Reading basic history/biographies is just not Trump-like.
He sounded detached from the "cancel culture" bit, as if it was new to him.
Very, very strange so far.

9. Maybe he'll collapse!

It's still hot there and he's at about 5200ft elevation which is a big heft for him coming from <1000ft at DC. If he's got a good buzz on or coming down with the covid...

[Cha]

24. lol.. I'd rather read DU's reactions to

the Hell Monster speaks.

29. Exactly

I've noticed that too.

[torius]

12. Sniff, sniff

Sounds like he had a pinch o’ snuff.

[They_Live]

13. Whoa. That second clip is wacko.

He's all sweaty and delirious. Check out his annoyance of the wind blowing around him and coming through the microphone. He's gonna fire that audio engineer!

[2naSalit]

22. Could be elevation and heat playing a role here.

That would be the shitz if Mother Nature nailed him.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

43. 6000 feet? It ain't Everest.

He shouldn't need any oxygen tanks, being a young and vigorous man such as he is.

[2naSalit]

45. A rapid elevation change of 2000ft

can have serious effects on many. Doesn't mean just less oxygen. I live at 6000+ elevation and people who are healthy show up here and end up sick for their entire vacation.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. Thought this was supposed to be his rebel rousin' speech tonight.

He sounds like f*n Ben Carson.

[Cha]

26. lol you guys are cracking me up!

maybe he's sedated.. some adviser put something in his red bull.

[Farmgirl1961]

15. His eyes seem especially off

More beady than usual...

[2naSalit]

23. Drugs and elevation. That place is around 5200ft.

And he lives at sea level.

[usajumpedtheshark]

41. i have visited black hills many times and hiked the area around the monument

i never noticed anything different regarding the elevation but i am not as old as pumpkin boy. it has been hot in the eastern part of south dakota (90's) and humidty was in the 40's to 50's most of the day. not sure how it was west river. i don't all thinking all the stage lights would have helped much

[lunasun]

16. Oopsie Mixup they gave trump Melania's medication 😴

[procon]

18. That sing-song voice drives me crazy and

he's drawling out each word so slowly I'm waiting for him to stop in mid sentence. His batteries are low or he's sick. He has no enthusiasm, no energy. He's gonna all asleep sstanding at that podium. His his speech is boring. He's just reading bullet points off the teleprompter and he's laboring over every word.

Go to bed Donald!

[Demonaut]

20. it's a method of programming

it's how he captures his cult

[Demonaut]

19. and Tiffany is there clapping, she's no lib

[tanyev]

25. Girl's got to do what a girl's got to do to keep her inheritance.

[tanyev]

30. You didn't need to delete, sop, GMTA!

[Doreen]

21. Is there anyone there. No matter what he is spewing

he always has one of his followers at least make some type of comment or whoop, or yeah noise.

[sheshe2]

28. I think his hair is about to take flight.

[localroger]

32. Who'll stop the rain?

For some bizarre reason this reminds me of the heroes of the film holing up on the old hippie retreat mountain with the now deserted commune and badass sound system, and Nick Nolte telling the others "we used to make this mountain rock." Key thought being "used to." Now it's all derelict and empty and falling apart.

[tavernier]

33. Oh, great.

Now we’ll have to hear two weeks of blather about how he was very energetic but no one at such a high elevation other than mountain goats has ever spoken so enthusiastically in a standing position for so long... set a world record... Blah blah blah... but the fake news makes fun of him and he gets no respect... wonk wonk wonk.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Prompter speech. Bet they want their money back.

[Dem2theMax]

37. He really wants to incite a second Civil War, doesn't he?

And the most insane part of all is that he thinks he's describing the Democrats, when he's actually describing himself.

[PA Democrat]

38. Why the f*** are we paying for that racist scumbag to hold a campaign rally?

He is despicable up there spewing his ignorant, divisive hate speech at what is supposed to be an Independence Day celebration.

And what a sweaty ugly mess he is with that orange makeup pouring off his face.

39. Ugh.. I just inadvertently clicked on a Fox News article about this "celebration of America"

There was a a "GIANTS OF OUR PAST" caption along with a photo of Trump superimposed alongside the carvings on Mt. Rushmore, along with the usual sanctimonious language about "US Heroes" and "far-left fascism". Barf....

[rockfordfile]

40. Why give him space?
