President Donald Trump on Friday said he is "thinking about" putting Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on the Supreme Court, joking about the senator's approval with Democrats.

BUT !
The overall presentation seemed near comedically staged.
a) There was a live if tiny audience, a conspicuously papered house.
b) They'd have seemed alarmingly zombie-like if without reaction. BUT !
perhaps due to time constraints etc., the entire presentation including audience reaction seemed quite scripted, choreographed.
That's an issue of style, not substance.
On substance (if any) President Trump's SOU seemed unimpressive.
Bottom line, this close to election, the U.S. seems alarmingly adrift. Republican acquiescence fuels the Trump juggernaut.
