Thanks. Does anyone else think that something has changed about his style of delivery?

In the past IMO he's typically sounded like a single-digit age child who's been forced to go up to the front of the class and read some random book passage. The average person who needs to give a speech as well as possible would at least give the script a once-over and get a feel for the pacing and decide where to apply emphasis / tone, whereas he would sound unenergetic and bored, apparently not attempting to make his speech sound like it's remotely interesting. If I had to be present at a formal event with him giving a speech like that, I'd have to feign having a medical emergency in a matter of minutes because he was just painfully boring to listen to.

This excerpt is actually an improvement for him IMO, I think someone's been giving him lessons and he was actually receptive to what he was being instructed. An alternative is that he watched one too many Trump parodies and decided to buck the trend, but I don't believe for a second that he would ever respond positively to that kind of mockery.

Someone mentioned that maybe he's been given some stimulants (which IMO could be correct) but I think this is more than that. I don't think that simply giving the world's worst orator a tonne of uppers is going to improve the quality of the delivery, probably just the pace.

One other thing I find weird about his (standing) speeches is how he clutches the lectern like he's being possessed by it. His whole body periodically seems to twist awkwardly from time to time.

Very normal things happening in this administration. VA gov candidate went all in on trans issues and got shellacked by 15 points.

What you are witnessing is proof that the idea box is empty and is likely to remain so. Trump has got nothing to offer the electorate and thinks the voters should be grateful and is saying as much.

Does this ever happen to a minor in the US outside of real edge cases like reconstructive surgery for major injuries or genetic intersex related conditions?

For minors? Not that I'm aware of besides some really unusual circumstances like your examples.

Also kudos to the Trump admin for such rampant cock and ball price inflation. Must be the tariffs.

Here's an article about it: https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/
TLDR; incredibly rare for teenagers (and it's mostly breast reductions), never for kids who haven't reached puberty because that's not even something they recommend, and most gender-affirming surgeries for minors are done for cis minors.

The $150k average quote for phalloplasty or metoidioplasty sure reeks of utter bullshit to me though.

Yeah, more yearly cases of lottery winners being eaten by Sharks only to recover and then die by lightning strike.

And in other news Trump found it necessary to name the Kennedy Center Trump Kennedy Center; naturally he stuck his name on it so everyone will know who fucked it up.

Real Ozymandias energy radiating from him lately. I hope he’s dying (quickly).

Kennedy Ctr name is enshrined in law. The board can't change it. Same thing really as the DoD.

It's a fake vanity thing.

Saw some clips of his televised rant and seems fairly clear they have to pump him full of stimmies to keep him awake and lucid. Otherwise basically a series of Truth social posts blurted at a camera without stopping for punctuation.

He literally ended his speech by yelling in anger, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NIEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

Apparently the "warrior dividend" is going to come from the military housing budget?
If memory serves, it's not the first time he's done that.

The general tone from MAGAts on Twitter seems to be that it was an amazing speech and he knocked it out of the park. And some sound really sincere, I'm trying to grasp that even for clueless cult members. Also, they're still bitching about what Rob Reiner said about Trump when he was alive. I've been confused since he was murdered and Trump said he died from TDS. HOW the fuck is that the reason? A MAGA lady broke it down to me. If Reiner had focused on helping his son get off drugs and not hating on Trump, his son could have gotten the help he needed. Apparently, a few Tweets a week from Reiner means he didn't have the time or even care about helping his son.

So I asked her how she feels when Trump posts 100+ nonsensical Tweets in a single night, by her words Trump can easily Tweet 100+ times a day and still fix the country and economy. It's weird how a couple tweets a week from Reiner completely prevented him from helping his son. She also justified Trump's mean tweet by saying if Trump had died Rob would have posted a celebatory Tweet. While I don't think he would have done that, even if that were true. I'd say 2 wrongs don't make a right applies.

And if they had voted against this, she would have Tweeted how they're all unsuccessful and have TDS. What this unbelievable Trump has done she's speaking about? I must have completely missed the news stories that brought up all this amazing work she's speaking about.

I mean the press secretary definitely wouldn't lie about these things...

Honestly, I also feel he's done many unbelievable things in his almost year in office. But my unbelievable and hers are definitely not the same lol.

They wouldn't have voted against it because the syphilitic orange menace fired the board and installed his own lackeys and made himself, chairman.

Quote from the NYT..

"Mr. Trump stunned the cultural and political worlds when he made himself chairman of the Kennedy Center and purged its previously bipartisan board of Biden appointees. He ousted the longtime chairman — the financier David M. Rubenstein, who was the center’s largest donor — and stacked the board with his own aides and allies. Deborah F. Rutter, the center’s president for more than a decade, was fired and replaced with a Trump loyalist, Richard Grenell."

Oh now it’s starting to make sense. The party of pedos wants to preserve big breasted teens.
