    I’m thinking Watters also fears his mom’s mom-strength given their public interactions. Watters fears so much in life, it’s a wonder that he has that ever present smug smirk. Probably a nervous tick.

    Ah, Trump displayed “dad strength”. Well, at least Watters imagined Trump having dad strength without evidence But there was clear evidence Trump cheats at golf. I assume Watters skipped past that.

    But I have a question, who provided the caddy? I would have assumed he was an employee of Trump’s club, but with cameras watching he didn’t make much of an effort to hide that ball drop.

    I feel that every day when Jesse Watters gets up in the morning, he asks himself, “What is the most ridiculous, over-the-top, hyperbolic thing I could say on the air today?” And then he checks with the lawyers to make sure it’s ok to say it.

    I mean, WWF wrestlers (question of the day, does the WWF have writers?) could not outdo this guy. And he doesn’t have to put his health at risk.

    I have long held that the WWF best explains Trump and MAGA.

    It’s been the WWE for decades now, since they lost a legal fight with the World Wildlife Federation. Yes, the WWE has writers. Responsible for everything from the major story arcs that can run for a year, to the in-ring rants, down to the “spontaneous” backstage dialog.

    I like how you put in ”legal,” so we would know that it wasn’t just Hulk Hogan getting his ass kicked by a red panda.

    I guess I would really impress him. I can lift up my grandkids and toss them in the air. I am way stronger than they are. Of course, they are 5. OTOH, they are now faster than I am.

    I view Jesse Watters and pretty much the whole Fox News crew of talking bobbing heads, as a sort of “professional mourners” — people who have no real vested or personal interest in the matter at hand but get paid for wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Professional mourners, also called wailers, moirologists,[1] or mutes, are compensated to lament or deliver a eulogy and help comfort and entertain the grieving family, or to improve the public spectacle of the funeral

    Jesse Watters cries for help…putting his daddy issues on display for all to see. Fox News – must see viewing for mental health professionals.
