The good news is that Donald Trump managed to stay awake during the Veterans Day observance at Arlington National Cemetery. The bad news is that Donald Trump spoke at the observance.

Trump was in dull, disinterested mode as he read his script off the teleprompter, but as has become the norm, it seemed he had never seen the speech before reading it.
The president could not stick to the script and behave like a normal human being.
When Trump introduced a survivor of the Beirut bombing, he said:
Detonated a truck packed with explosives at the Marine barracks with hundreds of Americans inside. Dale's first memory is waking up in a hospital bed and his catastrophic head injuries and wounds, a collapsed lung, a broken back, torn up legs, ruptured eardrums, and horrific burns across his entire body and all over his face. He was the sole survivor of the men around him, and he joins us here to remember the 241 American service members murdered in the Beirut barracks bombing, the deadliest day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima.\
Dale, please stand up. Thank you. You look good, Dale. He looks good. Handsome guy. What's going on here? Thank you very much.

We should count ourselves fortunate that Trump didn’t start discussing Dale’s rear end, but Trump is scared, which means that he couldn’t give a speech without threatening Democrats.
