Because he can.

Charlie Brotman, who has been the announcer for every presidential inauguration since 1957, will be away from the microphone for Trump’s inauguration Jan. 20 — after the Trump team dumped him.

That will make Trump the first President since Dwight Eisenhower whose parade will not be narrated by Brotman.

“I’m disappointed,” Brotman, 89, told the Washington Post last week…

“I know I can do it. I know that I’ve done it many many times. They ask me every time and it’s such an honor.”

Brotman also told WJLA he was “destroyed” by the decision.

    It sounds like Brotman voted for rump. Everyone else is happy to not be at this inauguration, this guy is sad he isn’t invited. Maybe he is know seeing what he voted for. Better late than never usually is true, but in this case, all the rump voters daddies should of wore condoms.

      I think he just sounds bummed because he’s been doing this gig for 60 years and now he’s being dumped for no good reason.

      Imagine getting to announce every inauguration for almost 60 years, then suddenly the new guy fires you just weeks before you were about to hit that 60 year mark.
      In light of all that, it sounds like he’s carrying himself quite respectably for having to shoulder that heavy of a disappointment.

      • Suzanne McFly January 8th, 2017 at 16:06

        I hope he is having a problem with this decision for that reason. He seems like a decent human who loves their country and that is not a typical rump voter.

        • Kick Frenzy January 8th, 2017 at 19:00

          I don’t get why you think he voted for Trump.

          This isn’t about Trump.
          This is about the job he’s been honored to have for almost 60 years.

          • Suzanne McFly January 8th, 2017 at 20:41

            The job supports the celebration for the incoming President, therefore it is about rump.

            • Kick Frenzy January 9th, 2017 at 15:57

              The job isn’t much about celebrating as much as it is announcing.

              For instance, when a hockey team wins the Stanley Cup, the person who announces that the winner’s are coming out to hold the cup and then that they’re holding the cup… they aren’t praising or supporting that team, they are sharing information on who got the top prize.

              Same thing here, basically.
              This is a person who has announced the inauguration of both Republican and Democrat presidents, not to support the president elect, but to announce the important event, whatever the outcome is.

    • Snick1946 January 9th, 2017 at 12:17

      I hope one of the TV outlets covering the event lets him sit in for the commentary.

    That will make Trump the first President since Dwight Eisenhower whose parade will not be narrated by Brotman.

      Pretty sure rump will not allow any big missiles at his inauguration, he has a confidence problem when it comes to phallic symbols as it is.

      • KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker January 8th, 2017 at 15:21

        Oh Snap!! :-)

        putin can do no wrong or so we are told

        everything else is subject to change with or without notice

        • Suzanne McFly January 8th, 2017 at 15:41

          As much as rump flaps in the breeze and changes his mind, I am surprised putin is the one constant in his life. That is what makes this love affair so curious, it just gets curiouser and curiouser….

          • robert January 8th, 2017 at 15:43

            i was convinced when putin can take several yrs off then take office again at will

            no curiosity here

            • Suzanne McFly January 8th, 2017 at 15:49

              Well we learned a long time ago that you should never ignore a tyrant. We didn’t have anything similar to WW2 to reflect on in the 1930’s but we have that knowledge now and we should use it.

              • robert January 8th, 2017 at 16:20

                the facts were always there

                Desperate people do desperate things

        He better stay away from the Mall then. https://www.nps.gov/wamo/learn/historyculture/images/WAMO_Aerial.jpg

    • Larry Schmitt January 8th, 2017 at 15:34

      Maybe they can move it to May 1.

    What a douchebag this Drumpf guy is.

  4. Suzanne McFly January 8th, 2017 at 16:12

    I made a mistake and went to a story about the Congressional Black Caucus and how it will push against rumps policies. The comment section is dangerous. A bunch of comments were claiming hyphenated Americans aren’t “true” Americans. One moron even had the nerve to say “Is there a Hispanic Caucus, an Asian Caucus….no, because they don’t whine like the black people do”. He was smacked around in a few on the comments, but most where fellow rump voters who were trying to educate him on how these other Caucuses actually do exist. If you are a rump voter, you should educate yourself on the world before you speak and announce that you are a tool.

    • Snick1946 January 9th, 2017 at 12:14

      Like the morons commenting on stories about the airport shooter being from Puerto Rico and how we need to ‘stop taking in these people’.

      • Suzanne McFly January 9th, 2017 at 14:18

        How have they lived till “adulthood” and not have some sort of an understanding about these things? Do they live in caves?

    Trump making Russia great again! No ethics. No intelligence. No accountability. No continuity. Zero accuracy.

    Dear leader does not need an announcer. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56a1de3541031a4eb85f4f7d3a1f89a9aeed3f8494f87f30406ac74e36cba7fe.jpg

      Nice how you shaved off a couple of trump’s chins there.

    FDR had the New Deal, LBJ had the Great Society, Trump will be known as the My Way presidency

    • maggiemoo January 9th, 2017 at 07:11

      My Way to the cesspool presidency.

    Donnie wanted to bring in an announcer who was willing to continually refer to him as “His Majesty” during the parade.

  9. labman57 January 8th, 2017 at 17:47

    There will be a whole bunch of senior citizens feeling “heartbroken” and “destroyed” once Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress finish decimating Social Security and Medicare.

  10. Obewon January 8th, 2017 at 17:51

    People are saying dim Donnie replaced him with wrestling announcer Michael the fluffer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6eQ78HCGEA

    In an administration full of comic book villains it’s hard to see how there would be room for any person associated with reality.

    That’s how you drain a swamp, I guess…
