Joe, how about you sit this one out, buddy? Ride off into the sunset with the Obama goodwill mostly intact, and we’ll let you know if we need an old man to challenge Trump to a fist fight, ok?

This video looks terrible on my phone. It needs to be cropped so it at least fills the screen and gets rid of the ugly black bars on the top and bottom.

When you are shooting a portrait video (and that’s clearly what this is), portrait mode makes sense.

It’s like the start of a YouTube instructional video. I kept expecting him to start making something.

Did you miss the joke?

Ironically that web link looks terrible on MY phone:

Wasn’t there one really odd photo of him after one of the debates in 2012 or so? I think the photographer said, “Look, my shutter went off accidentally, people look weird sometimes if you catch them at the right instant, can we all just forget about it,” or something like that – and surprisingly, I didn’t see that photo again. I might have thought that its time would be now. (Maybe I’m thinking of McCain?)

[ETA: It was McCain, see below.]

There’s a campaign slogan for 2020: “Do Better”

I kept expecting him to stand up and he wouldn’t have any pants on. Boxer shorts and black socks. 'Hey hon? are you done pressing my pants yet? Great. Thanks. Your hair smells marvelous… " Shuffles out of frame.

“… but with the vertical video fixed.”

There’s a joke in there, you know.

It’s like he’s practicing his woman grabbing kata.

I guess that fits on a bumper sticker better than: “Groping is the lesser of two evils relative to grabbing them by the pussy.”

True. But then I can see Melania getting involved, and Trump’s next slogan will be “Do Best”.

Even better, but also not great for bumper stickers.

We are in interesting times, were on a track to a better, more inclusive, more respectful and socially correct America…

Could be.
