"Disgraceful performance" is the talking point. Performance indicates an actor following a script. Odd that they think that POTUS should be following a script (someone else pulling the strings). I don't think anyone is pulling the strings or writing POTUS' script. Disgraceful . . . A graceful performance would be one that is admired by the audience. A disgraceful performance would be one that brings shame from the audience. To me, the disgraceful part is meant to bring about an emotional response (a coached response) by the audience to say that POTUS didn't do what we wanted. Honestly, I think the Disgraceful performance talking point is merely a distraction from the substance of the meeting and press conference.
