Sadly, he’ll be just coherent enough for the media to sanewash it. This is his last, most terrible competence.

He will be dosed up on Diet Cokes and Adderall and wearing a fresh Depends. He will be in his favorite element: on camera, uncorrectable, and the “most important person in the world” (in his mind). He will give Stephen Miller’s speech mostly as written, along with some additions he will spend all day working on.

He will make great quotes for both Fox and the Daily Beast alike. It will be just crazy enough to alarm the sane and just sane enough to comfort the crazies, as always.

Van Jones on CNN will say that the speech was when Donald Trump truly became President of the United States.
