1. He

spaced it?

[Fla Dem]

2. What a pouty little man-boy.

[narnian60]

47. Exactly.

[Maraya1969]

73. This could work to our favor if he always has to have people around to sign these statements

Just ask him questions he doesn't want to answer or that piss him off

[caroldansen]

3. He knows it's getting ready to hit the fan. And all he can think about now is his own butt.

[japple]

25. ...and what a big butt that is! eom

[Maraya1969]

74. Check out these photos just from his debate with Hillary and now

[liquid diamond]

76. Stop fat shaming. It's bigotry.

[Girard442]

4. Left the ceremony in the middle with the work undone, did he?

I'll bet he took his ball too.

[unblock]

5. this clown really is a national embarrassment

[vlyons]

6. well at least he had the presence of mind to walk out of the room,

and not rant and rave and throw a public temper tantrum. Although personally, I would have preferred to capture him on video ranting and raving. Drive home what Hillary said all along. He's temperamentally unfit to be POTUS. Shame on me.

[NCjack]

49. So close, but no cigar. Well, maybe next time we will see der Fuehrer in full rant. n/t

[Maraya1969]

75. And he found the door. eom

[gratuitous]

7. Aw, did he lose his "I-signed-it-all-by-myself" moment?

Plane to Mar-A-Hideout is idling on the runway. Gotta go.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. He bravely ran away away

[colbertforpresident]

22. ha ha

That's great!

[OriginalGeek]

37. Less than three

I <3 this.

[dalton99a]

42. Yep.

[nocalflea]

44. My thought exactly. I know toddlers braver than Trump.

(we really must apologize to toddlers everywhere whenever we compare them Trump. )

[ET Awful]

51. When danger reared its ugly head

He bravely turned his tail and fled

[elleng]

9. Oh GOOD!

What disaster went un-signed???

[BainsBane]

10. My thoughts exactly

a win/win.

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Caught on video throwing a fit later.....

[narnian60]

48. Funny AND creepy.

[murielm99]

56. Who's driving?

Ivanka?

[Elwood P Dowd]

63. Nunes, Hannity, and McConnell

all took turns but were eventually replaced by Roscoe P. Coletrain.

[rogue emissary]

12. LOL!

We have a sociopath in the White House, but this made me laugh. He isn't even a 100 days in and he's losing it.

[Xipe Totec]

13. The wretch, concentred all in self,

Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

- Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

[Charles Bukowski]

16. "What's so funny? Don't you like poetry?"

"No, I love poetry. I just thought that was Willard Scott, I was confused."

[notdarkyet]

38. Sad.

[exboyfil]

14. You had one job

See Oscars and Samwell Tarley.

[world wide wally]

15. Ask him that question every day

[ananda]

17. 45 was never together but ..

.. he's really losing it now!

[Squinch]

18. Can't even be bothered to try to hide his craziness now.

[adigal]

35. Senile, Alzheimers, exhausted, WAY over his head. Look at his face as he starts to leave

He is slumped, color is horrible, face looks exhausted.

He needs more cocaine.

But seriously, he is old, obese, has lived a VERY unhealthy life, has high cholesterol and probably blood pressure, is on Statins which can cause dementia, and is a perfect candidate for a stroke or heart attack.

[bluedigger]

66. There's nothing wrong with him a few rounds of golf won't cure.

He just gets a little shaky on Fridays.

[hurple]

19. Alrighty... All together now...

SNOWFLAKE!

[Paladin]

24. +1000! Biggest SNOWFLAKE in the country! (nt)

[uponit7771]

41. +1

[sheshe2]

20. He can run...

but he can't hide.

[displacedtexan]

21. Had this been a real national security emergency...

He probably would've stayed for the signing ceremony.

Truly heavy sigh.

[randome]

29. LOL!

Or offer him a super-sized order of fries and he'll sign anything!

[Kingofalldems]

23. He's gotta be heading to Florida now.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

26. Please, let there be video. NT

[MelissaB]

27. Here ya go....

34. Why is Pence always there, anyway?

It seems weird to me.

[NCjack]

57. Pence carries a small wooden paddle to place between Trump's teeth if he becomes

uncontrollable. Also, Pence has special training on how to restrain #45 in the least obvious way, should he go into a temper fit. Pence's principle assignment is his teeth, and secondary is his right arm. Others have specific assignments, e.g., left arm, leg of opportunity, etc. Everyone! Watch out for his teeth! And -- you know who you are -- don't let cameras get shot of that bald head.

[lunasun]

69. You made laugh so much everyone is asking what I just read . Thanks for the image +++++

[KewlKat]

28. is there any video of this?

[MelissaB]

30. I just updated the OP with it.

I had to turn the volume up as high as would go.

[adigal]

31. Watch the video and pay attention to Trump's face and body language

He looks totally confused. I have been saying Alzheimers since last year. He also looks utterly, totally exhausted and worn down. Sad!

Seriously, he is 70 years old, has never been a healthy, physical guy like some other presidents, is obese, has high cholesterol, is on Statins (which can cause dementia,) probably has high blood pressure. He is the perfect candidate for a stroke or heart attack. He may need to resign for "his health."

[MelissaB]

32. Video:

I also updated the OP with it.

[C_U_L8R]

33. Even he doesn't believe the script he's reading.

He sounds like he has a bad case of the sads.
Just give up, Trump.

[mainstreetonce]

36. Sometimes a guy just needs to

Change his pants.

[OldHippieChick]

39. When my son was in kindergarten, he was to give a magic show to his school of

over 600 students. They rehearsed, but when the performance came, one of the older kids ad-libbed. It threw my 5-year old off and he stomped from the stage before he finished his magic show. Somehow, Cheeto reminded me of that non-performance.

[klook]

55. Mom? Is that you??

[OldHippieChick]

61. LOL! I actually know this is not my kid as he is in rehearsal

right now, which tells me there were other 5-year olds w/ helicopter mothers like me! Yes, I followed him out into the hall, had a quiet talk and he returned to the stage and finished his show. That took about 10 years off my life.

[klook]

62. Hee hee!

As the parent of two boys (now grown) I can identify! Not many things more mortifying than school performance mishaps!

[OldHippieChick]

64. In all seriousness, he was out in the hall

beating his head against the wall. I first had to talk him down and then talk him into figuring out how to go back on stage in front of so many people. We figured out a joke and rehearsed it before he went back out. Mine is now grown as well and his rehearsal tonite is no longer for a magic show, but for the symphony for which he plays (cello). I still lose years off my life when he has performance problems. He calls me nearly every day. Thank God he is married and she fades a lot of the heat. He's a very needy guy! But I couldn't be more proud.

[klook]

65. Aw...

Sounds like you handled it well! Every child has different needs, and parenting ain't for sissies, that's for sure!

[demmiblue]

40. .

[cstanleytech]

43. Dear god he makes a pouty child look mature. nt

[KewlKat]

45. I found the full presser and watched it multiple times, with the volume turned up near his exit

He was already heading out the door BEFORE the question was asked.It was after he took a few steps toward the door that you can hear the question. So it didn't appear to me to have been the reason for his departure.

Here is the FULL video. Skip to 42:30 and he spews a few words and then heads to the door. Pencsky stops him to tell him he hadn't signed the document and the con says "we'll do it blah blah.....couldn't hear it. He looks completely deflated.

[Phoenix61]

54. That's the way it looked to me.

Pence went after him and grabbed his arm and 45 just kept walking away. I don't think he is doing well on any level.

[Blue_Roses]

72. I agree

the question was asked after he started walking off. He doesn't look well. He has no business in that position and he looks like he hates it.

[JDC]

46. He's leaving before the question is asked. He just forgets to sign it

Pence goes to get him to remind him to sign and trump tells him to get it and bring it along. I'm not seeing that it's tied specifically to the Flynn question, he just leaves anyhow. Odd to be sure

[KewlKat]

59. yeah, that's the way I see it. I'm no so sure he forgot, but he could have. He was just determined

to leave. I think he knew they would be asking him about flynn so he just exited.

[Achilleaze]

50. is the wepubwican Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief having another hissy?

Maybe a heaping tub of US taxpayer-funded russian caviar would cheer him up...

[underpants]

52. Well then he should have a RESIGNING ceremony

[klook]

58. Ha! Good one!!

#SurrenderDonothy

[Barack_America]

60. WINNER!

Amazing.

Wow, what a spectacle. This is history we're witnessing.

[calimary]

53. But did he not yowl to his sycophants - "I need a ceremony!"?

Maybe that's all he wanted. Take photos of ME. Watch ME. Pay attention to ME. Ask questions to ME - that I may or may not answer.

As my husband puts it - "More ME please." Or in trump's case, it'd just be "More ME!"

[colorado_ufo]

67. He mouthed the usual superlatives

but there was no energy there. He looked dead inside and exhausted outside. Overall, clueless about what to do next.

[keithbvadu2]

68. One tin soldier rides away

One tin soldier rides away

This kind of fits but not with Trump as an honorable man.

[bucolic_frolic]

70. Demoralized

Keep up the pressure, RESIST!

[Cha]

71. he was so pissed he forgot what he was doing.. thanks Flynn
