The actual event is, as usual, fascinatingly cringey.
This is right after the second guy fainted, so trump’s already been interrupted twice, the venue’s tiny, and I think he doesn’t like dog killer Kristi Noem despite obvious commonalities. She was probably insufficiently subservient.
He wants security to open the doors to let fresh air in, but they can’t because of USSS measures to protect his dumb ass. Watch how he loses his mind in rage, suppresses it, and rolls it into his patter in the span of one second.
Then he says hey everybody lets all hear my favorite - Pavarotti singing Ave Maria! (Crowd cheers). The fuck? It gets weirder from there.
The church people doing the both hands in the air thing has always struck me as odd.
This time it strikes me as infantile behavior. Like a child asking for their parent to pick them up... It's so weird.
I don't think he gets what's going on there, that there's people treating it like a church service. At least he doesn't recognize the symbols and gestures, he gets the "they're worshipping me" part, which I suppose is the "important" thing.
This shit is gonna stick around forever now. Ugh. I wonder if this is how the Romans felt.
I think they were too busy trying to keep the emperor from pimping their wives, or nailing them to a cross.
