Donald Trump, but less fat.
Donald Trump, the man who brags about grabbing women by the pussy, the man a minority of voters and the Russian government got drunk and elected president of the United States in November, participated in a longstanding presidential tradition Monday night, addressing the quadrennial Boy Scouts Jamboree in West Virginia. Since the American president is also the honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America, this is a totally normal thing for Trump to be allowed to do. As you will see, despite being normal , it was clearly not advisable , because Trump is not a man who knows how to behave around children. Instead of delivering a presidential message, Trump used Jamboree to whine and bitch and complain, and also to try to indoctrinate the kids there, because his flaccid ego is so weak and sad he needs the approval of 10-year-olds.
Oh, and he got them to boo former President Barack Obama, because that's how American presidents are supposed to act.
Instead of subjecting you to a full video, because watching the president for too many minutes in a row makes people stupider, NBC's Bradd Jaffy helpfully tweeted a compilation of the best moments of Trump's speech:

I would if I was on the sound board and the right person asked or signalled. Legend among board ops is that Bill Clinton was twice cut. I have squelched a college president (at the request of the provost who then took a replacement mike up...and although only a few words were exchanged the tone changed for the rest of the speech). I also developed a technical problem when th wife of a distinquished US member of the House asked for him to be cut off/ He was going into a bit that may have been something that psychiatrists may have considered evidence of on-set dementia which was what was reported after his retirement. Oddly enough it was very much like how our current President sounds at times.
Well the Boy Scout leadership has sent a letter of apology.Regretfully it does not unring the bell.Worse is the press conference....when they could have made it clear that this was not what was intended. Instead it is a crowd cheering the President on. How many fights were there among the different scouts after or during this speech? This is not covered by the media on left or right...
I would comment on the press conference if comments were allowed here. Although i can say..."Sad. Just Sad."
