Trump Fails To Remember The Words To GOD BLESS AMERICA
I just heard on Chris Matthews show that Trump did not know the words to God Bless America today.
I will take a stab at it, from memory ( I swear)
------
God Bless America, land that I love
stand beside her , and guide her
through the night with a light from above
from the mountains , to the prairies
to the oceans, white with foam
God Bless America , my home sweet home.
-----
According to his sorts of standards, I'm more patriotic than President* Trump, aren't I ?

Trump appears to forget lyrics to 'God Bless America' at his Celebration of America event
Watch the video at link.
Pitiful.
Trump is an excellent singer!
Obama's better.
Do you see him staring at the teleprompter at the Emmy's? He can sing if someone tells him what to say. Somewhat similar to what a five year old does.
Too late to get some crisis actors in?

The Philadelphia Eagles didn't want to go to the White House because they can't stand the president in dozens of different ways, not just because of the take a knee movement. One player told Jake Tapper that they didn't even discuss that.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said today that they were just trying to embarrass the president. Apparently, she is unaware that he embarrasses himself and the United States every minute of every day.
Here's the big celebration of Trump's Eagle fans:
Yeah. You'll recall that Trump hired actors for his presidential campaign announcement.
Fox News tweeted a video of Eagles players kneeling. But it was fake news:
And then there's this, from our alleged uber-patriot:
He sings "stand beside me" instead of "stand beside her"
He doesn't know the words to the national anthem either:
Did I mention that he is an embarrassment every minute of every day?
Heck of 'lip syncher' though. Well, that would be open to alterative facts or opinions.
Is that a necessary qualification to be POTUS?
He wants to be judge and jury of who is patriotic based on how they react to patriotic songs, and he doesn't even know the words to those songs? Come on Buzz, come back to the real world.
Do those who consider NFL role models for American children kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem patriotic but the POTUS who forgets the words of a song that is NOT the National Anthem UNpatriotic?
Shouldn't the President be held to a higher standard as the defacto head of our nation. If anybody should have the words committed to memory, it would be the president.
It's not the National Anthem. I know all the words to "O Canada", Canada's national anthem, even to "God Save the Queen" which USED to be the Canadian National Anthem, but damned if I know the words to "The Maple Leaf Forever".
Has anyone put Obama or Clinton or Bush (Jr & Sr) to the test of whether they knew by memory all the words to every song that has the word "America" in the title?
Picky picky picky...
You would think so by this time. He's, what, 71 y/o, was raised in this country, and been in the Oval office now for a year and a half, and he still does not know the words to America's national anthem or God Bless America? Kind of hard to believe if it was most people, but, not for Trump. He likely still won't know them when he reaches 101, should he live that long.
I think people would have noticed if they hadn't remembered.
Agreed.
It seems like it would be. Especially considering his base is largely highly religious.
"his base is highly religious." ? ? Uh, wouldn't that be depending upon the alternative facts of the day or the convenience of it all?
You make a solid point.
Of course not. But it seems it should be considering the Trump is a potus that for this moment anyway, is making the theme of patriotism---------the theme.
Not usually but most presidents dont make such a big deal about how others act when songs like the national anthem are sung. You'd think he'd have bothered to learn what he was complaining about a little more than evidently he has.
Well not so much with trump. He knows it all instinctively evidently because he has such a good brain.
You know we've got to be saving a ton of money not needing to hire experts to advise the president any more.
Not surprising considering the song contains the words "God", "bless", and "America"; three things he doesn't have a clue about.
Amen!!
LOL. Good one Larry.
