He needs all the eyes on him. If we turn our backs and put him on ignore unless we're tearing him down, he'll freak.

I should watch, just to know what he says, but I felt so repelled....his sycophants cheering his horror...I just couldn't!

Watching him is worse than tooth drilling without Novcaine.

I am pretty sure he has prepared remarks and a TelePrompTer but geese Louise. All of his "by the ways" and other inserted asides are the same old crap he's been blathering for months.

And that grand entrance of Battle Hymn of the Republic....honestly thought after the build up ...I thought that he would soar in on Superman's cape.

This is theater. All designed for his adoring minions. I can imagine him planning it all from the music to Melania's red dress and Lord's Prayer,which he claimed he didn't know she was going to do. Didn't know, my ass. He planned every bit of this farce.

I watched earlier and bailed. Came back after he was making his grand entrance and had to bail again. This was too painful to watch. I leave it to a stronger person. Good luck....now I need to go

Then, when he tells his minions facts are not as important as "what you believe" - belief being rooted in the absence of fact.

This guy is no better than a two-bit shyster flying into an airport like a TV evangelist wanting to take your money and fly away.

What a con.

Hopefully, he'll spend the rest of his days as a con, when the truth gets out!

She struggles with the language and you know Trump forced her to drill for hours to be able to recite it. It was painful to watch.
