Trump's obsessed with ratings because he needs constant reinforcement that people like him because he's insecure AF

that's why he constantly reiterates his successes/accomplishments. he's gotta remind you non-stop that he's the biggest and the best at everything he's ever done believe me. meanwhile, people who are secure with themselves and accomplishments let them speak for themselves.

Good. I wish he would stay the fuck off Twitter.
---

He went off script and just devolved into incoherent rambling that made no sense at all, attacking allies of the US while praising dictatorships once again, randomly shooting off at the mouth about Rosanne and falling back on his old classics like blaming hilliary and obama, fake news, rabble rabble.

"i like him because he speaks his mind"

I like the part where he suggested calling community colleges something different because apparently he doesn't think people know what those words mean.

This from a guy who called his fake college a university, lol

WASHINGTONUntil his speech on Thursday afternoon, U.S. President Donald Trump had not made any public remarks all week.

He had a lot to say. And most of it was false, strange, outlandish or confusing.

The speech, to Ohio workers, was supposed to be about infrastructure, but we know by now that Trumps supposed infrastructure events are almost never actually about infrastructure. As usual, he meandered freely to make dramatic statements about the Middle East and the Koreas, to disparage Hillary Clinton, to declare his ignorance of what a community college is, and, eventually, to express excitement about the ratings of the sitcom Roseanne.

Heres what happened:

2:09 p.m. Trump begins with a reference to his election victory: What a group. Remember, you cant win unless you win the state of Ohio, right?

2:13 p.m. Trump says of Democrats: They want people to come in from the border, and they want, I guess, want, I cant imagine they want, but certainly drugs are flowing across borders. We need walls.

2:14 p.m. Trump falsely claims that a California project to replace a section of existing border wall a project proposed in 2009 and entirely separate from his own proposed new wall is indeed his own wall project. And then he brags about how this wall is a high-quality wall because of his own talents as a builder.

We started building our wall. Im so proud of it. We started. We started. We have $1.6 billion. And weve already started. You saw the pictures yesterday, and I said what a thing of beauty. And on September 28 we go further. And were gettin that sucker built. And you think thats easy? People said, Oh, has he given up on the wall? Nah, I never give up. I never And you saw those beautiful pictures, and the wall looks good. Its properly designed. Thats what I do is I build. I was always very good at building. It was always my best thing.

2:16 p.m. Trump says the U.S. has been treated better on trade by its enemies than its allies: Frankly our friends did more damage to us than our enemies. Because we didnt deal with our enemies, we dealt with our friends, and we dealt incompetently.

2:16 p.m. That was a Hillary Clinton special, I hate to say it, Trump says of the existing free trade agreement with South Korea, which was negotiated by the George W. Bush administration and then revised by the Obama administration.

2:18 p.m. One day after his administration boasted of the successful completion of a revised trade agreement with South Korea, Trump says, I may hold it up til after a deal is made with North Korea.

Does everybody understand that? You know why, right? You know why? Because its a very strong card, and I want to make sure everyone is treated fairly and were moving along very nicely with North Korea. Well see what happens.

2:19 p.m. Trump says the media the fake news would have accused him of exaggerating if he had claimed three million jobs would be created between Election Day and today. In fact, slightly more jobs were created over the previous 16-month period, under Obama.

2:21 p.m. Trump makes his midterm election pitch, telling voters that they cannot afford to jeopardize the strong economy by voting for Democrats. You know the expression from, I guess it was, Bill Clinton: its the economy, stupid? Well, it is the economy.

2:24 p.m. Trump falsely claims, We got rid of the bump stocks. The bump stocks now are under very strict control. His administrations proposed ban on the firearm device has not been finalized; it will be accepting public comments on the proposal until June 27. Then he falsely claims, Nobody reported it. It doesnt get reported.
---

2:25 p.m. Trump says, Ive been in construction and building all my life. I love it. I love the smell of a construction site, right? Theres just something about it.

2:28 p.m. Trump brings up Clinton again in boasting of his decision to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Alberta: Hillary wasnt gonna approve it. Nobody was. It was a dead project. I got in, almost, like, right at the beginning, I approved that.

2:29 p.m. Trump falsely says nobody protested his approval of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines: Nobody. I approved it, the pickets, they picked up their stuff and they left and it was the end of it. In fact, the North Dakota protesters were ordered to leave by the governor. About 20 were arrested for refusing to do so.

2:32 p.m. Trump returns to his prepared text for a moment, saying nearly 40 per cent of our bridges were built before, think of this, before the first moon landing. He then laments that another country is currently building 29 bridges. He says he will not name this country because it is friendly to me.

2:33 p.m. Trump complains that TransCanada Corp. was not sufficiently grateful for his decision to approve Keystone XL: And I just say to myself, can you imagine the boss of whatever the hell company it is, who never actually called me to say thank you, but thats OK. Well remember. So this guys sitting behind his beautiful chair in a certain place, I know exactly where, nice place, big company, and the consultants march into his office to tell him what a great job they did. They were dead. They had no chance, they failed. I got it approved.

In fact, TransCanada chief executive Russ Girling thanked Trump twice, in person, in the Oval Office, with cameras rolling.

2:34 Trump complains that the U.S. spends money building up foreign countries while allowing its own infrastructure to fall into disrepair. He specifically complains about U.S. support for South Korea.

Look at Korea. We have a border at Korea. We have a wall of soldiers. We dont get paid very much for this, do we? We have, you look at that, nobody comes through. But our own border, we dont take care of it. Think of it. We spend billions of dollars in other countries maintaining their borders and we cant maintain our borders in our own country. Is there something a little bit wrong with that? Think of it. We spend billions and billions of dollars. Look: North and South Korea. Thirty-two thousand soldiers. The finest equipment. Barbed wire all over the place. We protect that whole thing, nobody comes through. But our country, we dont do it. Things are changing, folks.

2:34 p.m. Trump falsely claims that he was opposed to the Iraq War from the beginning. He haltingly supported the war when radio host Howard Stern asked him in 2002, saying, Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.

2:35 p.m. Trump appears to ad-lib a major foreign policy declaration that is at odds with his administrations stated policy claiming, with no details, that he will withdraw the U.S. military from Syria very soon.

And by the way were knockin the hell out of ISIS. Well be coming out of Syria like very soon. Let the other people take care of it now. Very soon. Very soon. Were coming out. Were going to have 100 per cent of the caliphate, as they call it, sometimes referred to as land, weve taken it all back quickly, quickly. But were gonna be coming out of there real soon, were gonna get back to our country, where we belong, where we wanna be.
---

2:36 p.m. Trump falsely claims, for the ninth time in office, that the U.S. has spent $7 trillion on Middle East wars. (One Brown University estimate put the current total at $4.3 trillion, and the total including estimated future costs at $5.6 trillion.) Trump then says, Nobody ever heard of the word trillion until 10 years ago.

2:38 p.m. Trump advocates a war crime, saying the U.S. should have seized Iraqi oil for itself: And you know what we have for it (the war)? Nothing. Remember I used to say keep the oil? ... We never kept the oil. If we kept the oil we wouldve been OK. If we kept the oil we wouldnt have ISIS They kept the oil, we didnt keep the oil. Stupid! Stupid!

2:39 p.m. Trump expresses confusion about all of the judicial vacancies that greeted him upon entering office: I dont know why Obama left that. It was like a big beautiful present to all of us. Why the hell did he leave it? Maybe he got complacent .What happened? How did he do that? What happened was Senate Republicans refused to approve Obamas judicial nominees.

2:39 p.m. Trump explains what judges are: We were left judges! Theyre the ones that judge all your disputes! They judge on whats fair on the environment and whats not fair!2:41 p.m. Trump complains of an international program in which wealthy countries help developing countries cover the cost of transitioning to cleaner energy. As far as Im concerned, were developing. Pay us some money. Right? Pay us. Were developing.

2:43 p.m. Trump says of the Department of Veterans Affairs before his presidency: They had sadists that treated our vets horribly. Horribly. Worse than a movie.

2:45 p.m. Trump says he does not know what a community college is. He says community colleges should be called vocational schools, though those are entirely different.

When I was growing up we had what was called vocational schools. They werent called community colleges. Cause I dont know what that means, a community college. To me, it means a 2-year college. I dont know what it means. But I know what vocational. And I tell people, call it vocational from now on. Its a great word. Its a great word. Call it vocational, and technical, perhaps. But use vocational, because thats what its all about. People know what that means. We dont know what a community college means.

2:46 p.m. Trump gives a rare shout-out to his daughter Tiffany, standing behind her better-known sister Ivanka.

2:49 p.m. Trump complains about an unnamed road in an unnamed state, which he says has been made too curvy. Not good if youre not feeling so good behind the wheel.

2:51 p.m. Trump says, America built the Empire State Building in one year. Think of it, one year. Its actually like nine months, can you believe that? It was 13 months.

2:54 p.m. Trump says Americas infrastructure is like, in many cases, a Third World country.

2:56 p.m. Trump suggests he deserves some credit for the SpaceX rocket launch and landing in February. He also suggests he doesnt think the government should fund such rocket programs and, incongruously, takes credit for reviving the governments space agency, NASA.

We must recapture the excitement of creation, the spirit of innovation, and the spark of invention. Were starting. You saw the rocket the other day, you see whats going on with cars, you see whats going on with so much, NASA, space agency, all of a sudden its back, you notice? It was dormant for many, many years. Now its back. And were trying to have the private sector invest the money. Why the hell should we do it, right? Let them invest. If they want to send rocket ships up, theyre rich, let em do it.

2:58 p.m. Trump tells workers: Youre restoring pride in this country again. Our country had very little pride. Look back. See what was happening. Our country had very little pride.
---

2:59 p.m. Trump is building up to his big conclusion. But he gets distracted by a thought in his head about the revival of the sitcom Roseanne, starring Roseanne Barr as a Trump supporter.

Even look at Roseanne! I called her yesterday! Look at her ratings! Look at her ratings! I got a call from Mark Burnett, he did The Apprentice, hes a great guy. He said, Donald, I called just to say hello and to tell you, did you see Roseannes ratings? I said, Mark, how big were they? They were unbelievable! Over 18 million people! And it was about us! They havent figured it out! The fake news hasnt quite figured it out yet! They have not figured it out! So that was great. And they havent figured it out. But they will. And when they do, theyll become much less fake. May take a while, but its happening.

3:00 p.m. Trump hastily pivots to his conclusion.

But youre the ones who are truly making America great again. Were going to work together, were going to work with the state of Ohio, were going to work with everybody, and were going to bring our country to a level of success and prominence and pride like it has never, ever seen before. Thank you, and God bless America.

Trump supporters: why do you support this idiot when most other Republicans would give the same positive results without making a joke of the GOP in the process?

Oh come on. The left has gone apeshit against everything that goes against their narrative for years now. They call people like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro nazis. Don't pretend that if someone like Romney had become president that the left wouldn't be just fanatical and making all the same sorts accusations of him being Hitler and him working with Russia that they're making against Trump.

Anyone else besides the guy whose gimmick is to support Trump in literally everything he does?

There have been plenty of times that I've disagreed with Trump.

I have disagreed with him. Just as one example, Trump once said that he was was more presidential than any other president except for Lincoln. I disagreed with him, as Trump is definitely more presidential than Lincoln was and I immediately called him out for that.

Maybe he broke his wiener.
