2018 State of the Union Address

This year's State of the Union Address is likely to be very revealing about trump. If his mental abilities are failing we could see a much shorter scripted speech (under 30 minutes). And depending on his emotional state he may go off on strange tangents. Given trump's unpredictability and increasing mental issues, here are some possible firsts: - Not a live speech. trump pre-records the speech on video. After the video is presented, he walks on stage waiving and then makes impromptu comments.
- The entire State of Union address is cancelled. trump tweets: "State of Union address is no longer necessary because I tweet to the american people every day. The SOTU address is just a waste of american people's time."
What to watch for is how well is he able to stay focused and composed for a full 60-90 minutes, or does he start to fade quickly unable to handle the moment. What I think is obvious is that if his inner circle already knows he can't handle it, they won't let him do it, and we shall see a limited\abbreviated version of the 2018 State of the Union address as I suggested above.

I pointed this out because it is one of the few times a year every president is expected to appear in public and give a rather long speech (about 60 minutes). The rest of the year it easy for the WH to control how much, and how long, he appears in public. If trump is having any mental difficulties it will be exposed during the State Of the Union where he is on his own for 60 minutes. For the remainder of year his exposure can easily be limited to photo ops, twitter, recorded speeches, and highly controlled Fox Interviews where questions are vetted\rehearsed in advance, and a lot of bad stuff remains on the cutting room floor. It will be interesting to see if he does any more rallies in 2018 and beyond. He loves doing them, so if no more are scheduled, it strongly suggests he can't handle being in public without something bad for his image happening. Don't worry. We've got now a "stable genius" at the helm, who loves himself deeply. Nothing what a few Prozac pills can't fix.

I hope he falters badly and it causes embarrassment that isn't easily cleaned up. Not that we want to watch a human physically suffer but then again, he's not human. A spectical -frailty - vulnerability - shamed humility. I will have a second scoop as well. January 30, 2018. Pop some popcorn and invite some friends over. Drinking game ? Every time he slurs or mumbles: 1 shot. Physical blunder: 1 shot. Actual stroke: 2 shots. Direct insult towards any group who constitutes 5% of our population: 1 shot. Make sure you have designated drivers.

Many women are planning to wear black attire. Democrats have invited several victims of sexual harassment to attend. I'm sure Trump will do likewise and perhaps invite "victims" of immigrant crimes and highlight them in his speech. Add to that a few middle class taxpayers who will benefit from the Trump tax cuts. In the end I'm not sure that any of these theatrics serve a useful purpose except to give comfort to their respective tribes...and fodder for Trump tweets. You can't beat Trump's theatrics, or it is Saturday Night Live; sorry right now this whole government and country is an huge joke. Even the "warning" system in Hawaii is a joke. Yes the whole world find this country a total joke; suggest to start writing another "book" about the "total joke" as follow up on the first book, to make another best seller worldwide.
