The (UK) Telegraph on Trump's visit: "There were the marching bands with their flawless precision and the procession of ceremonial carriages whose windows are designed to allow a view of their esteemed occupants waving to jubilant crowds. But there was no waving because there were no crowds. Downing Street seems to have pulled off a remarkable operation in persuading Trump that having his second 'state visit' held at Windsor Castle behind virtual locked doors rather than the traditional triumphal procession down the Mall to Buckingham Palace was a great compliment. Windsor was, Trump told the media repeatedly, by far the superior venue and he alone in history had been so favoured. No one in his entourage, apparently, thought it odd that the legendary carriages which transported him in circles around the castle grounds were going from nowhere to nowhere. But whoever in Westminster conceived and orchestrated this extraordinary grovel knew exactly what they were doing. The most powerful man in the world was given not just the greatest day out ever, but the personal affection and approval which he requires in apparently limitless amounts."

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."
Jessica: He’ll build hopefully more than the 52 miles which is all he was able to get done— 500 miles where 450 of them were just repairing existing walls already. It’s 52 miles of new wall.
Watters: That’s not true
Welker: Do you have an actual plan at this point for health care?
Trump: Yes. We have concepts of a plan that will be better.
Welker: Still just concepts? Do you have a fully developed plan?
"For years to come, there are many people on the right... that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump."

"He will be surrounded by mostly political sycophants who are there to facilitate whatever it is he wants to do": Former FBI Deputy Director and CNN Senior Law Enforcement analyst Andrew McCabe on what the rule of law could like under Trump's second term.
CAVUTO: She called him a fascist
BUTTIGIEG: She said that she did not disagree with his chief of staff who said that
CAVUTO: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage
“When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory, but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a— he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was… So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches. I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right? The weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, no. There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works. It's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever”
