Only one marble left, and it's chipped

He was at a conference in Pennsylvania.  Here's Daniel Dale to tell us about it:

"You have a great ice hockey team, too," Trump says of Pittsburgh, praising Sidney Crosby and this "great sports place." He then reads praise for Pennsylvania's energy development for a moment, then immediately begins ad-lib-criticizing New York state's energy and tax policies.

Trump is talking about how he won Ohio and West Virginia. 

This is supposed to be the keynote speech at a shale energy conference.

Trump praises the work of Energy Secretary Rick Perry. He says Perry was "nasty" during the Republican primary but then became very nice.

Trump is now criticizing the impeachment push, saying, "I have witch hunts ever week. I say, what's the witch hunt this week?" He calls his opponents "nasty" people.

Trump falsely says Canada has already approved the USMCA ("new NAFTA" in Canadianese). Unlike Mexico, it has not voted yet. Trump goes back and forth between correctness and incorrectness on this.

At some length, Trump praises Rep. Guy Reschenthaler for getting elected despite being named Guy Reschenthaler. 

To people apparently saying "four more years," Trump advises them to drive the media "crazy" and say "16 more years."

Trump tells a sir story about how "almost all" of the people attending his event on a Waters of the US executive order were crying. He has previously said "half of them" were crying. There is video. None of them were crying.

Trump's vague talk of some sort of coal resurgence is not borne out by any kind of data. (Fox News headline last month: "Coal industry continues sharp decline despite Trump's promised revival.") 

"Don't hurt 'em. Don't hurt 'em, please. They don't know they're dealing with very tough people in this room," Trump says after a protest interruption. "They don't know who they're dealing with! They don't know who they're dealing with!...Go home to mom." 

He always says that about protesters.  Knowing how everything Trump criticizes is a projection, you have to wonder if he was a cry-baby who ran to his mommy whenever he felt threatened. (*)

Trump perpetually accuses the Obama administration of waging a "war" on American energy, then boasts that the US became the top energy producer in the world under Trump. The US took the #1 spot in Obama's first term, then kept increasing production.

Trump is telling his usual vague story about how somebody should have built a road straight but instead made it curvy for enviro reasons and it took forever. "They circled the nesting of things you want to save, you want to help, but you also have to -- worry about ourselves." 

"You'll never have another president like me," Trump says, it seems specifically about his regulatory and energy policies. "That's for sure." 

We're praying for it.

Trump says the Cameron LNG facility he visited in Louisiana was a "dead project, and I had it approved almost immediately." It got its approvals under the Obama administration. The company says this on its website.

Trump falsely says Hillary Clinton had said the trade agreement with South Korea would produce 250,000 American jobs ("I remember her saying"). Obama had said that the deal would "support at least 70,000 American jobs." 

Trump is telling his story about how kings, queens, prime ministers and dictators all come in and congratulate him on the greatness of the economy. He adds that dictators do not want to be known as dictators. He then adds, "Actually, some do." He then says that they don't. 

Trump is slamming "zealots" who oppose shale energy. He's mostly criticizing Democrats but also the European Union for supposedly trying to tell the US what to do. "We should be telling them how to do it," he says, based on how good the economy is. 

Well, at least he said something about shale.




...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Trump's latest sharpie chart:
