    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.”

        Ok some are making it a bigger deal than it is. He was swearing in people to the military which that wording “I ( state your name)” but instead of you saying state your name, you say your name while the person continues to read the script.

        I did it when I swore in 2010.

        I felt bad for the people swearing in, but then realize they were swearing in during this presidency.

        I hope they feel that embarrassment throughout their career for serving while this guy is in.

          Got it. That does make more sense. It’s also a super weird thing to do on all sides at an NFL game.

            That was 100% political. It usually is a private event the first time. When you re-up you can chose how you want to swear in.

            Actually, I think he was swearing in soldiers and they were repeating after him. We just didn’t see the soldiers. I only realized that after seeing his interview section of the game.

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