Donald trump. The president , who luxuriates in the chance of amped up crowds will say anything at any time, no matter how vile or how true or false, and loves nothing more than to have the attention of the nation upon him. The polar opposite of that man was in front of congress today. Someone who very clearly almost painfully wants zero attention on him, who didnt want to be there, and simply wants to have the facts entered into the record. But the facts have always been damning.
