    Good. Booed in his backyard. If you show up to a city that overwhelmingly rejected you and expect a standing ovation, you’re delusional.

    Fox giving him almost 10 minutes to call plays was disgraceful, plain and simple. That’s not journalism, that’s a campaign PSA. Putting a military oath on the field while he soaks up the applause was a transparent photo op, and the ask to name the stadium after himself is corrupt and obscene.

    Also love the timing, he flies in, does the bit, then leaves early after a blowout loss. Classic.

    Calling plays is a stretch. The announcers asked him to call one but he basically said we’ll see what happens as the play ran.

      He doesn’t have the mental dexterity required to improv on the spot like that.

      And just to be clear, we’re talking about something that’s done almost exclusively by men who spent the majority of their lives undergoing repeated head trauma.

    I sort of wonder what this does to his brain.

    Like he’s antisocial/narcissistic knows his policies are unpopular, but still powers through because he gets what he wants anyway.

    But the ego in his head has gotten be doing little shit that’s making him think: “I’m going to nuke this stadium when I get back to the office.”

    Inject that shit in my veins. Watching the video is well worth it, don’t just look at the picture and enjoy the headline.
