That was the Awfullest speech I've ever heard a Pres make

[mudwhistle]

Last night's speech by Trump at his 100 Day Rally in Pennsylvania was truly stirring, but not in a good way. It was not only disappointing, it was frightening. As one CNN guest, a former governor, put it, "I feel like I need a shower."

Why was this one so bad, when I've watched so many others of his without feeling the need to growl at the television set like I did last night? It wasn't because I've lost my ability to listen to another's point of view. It wasn't that I've turned into a partisan froot loop who will automatically criticize everything the man says or does. It was because:

• During his rambling prelude, giving a 10 minute perfunctory slamming of the press, he wore the smug, self satisfied smirk of a bully safe in his position that would lead most parents to say "Wipe that smirk off your face or I'll wipe it off for you."

• He spent a great deal of time deftly conflating the genuine concerns about MS-13 with all illegal immigrants and then to frost the cake, he read that damned "The Snake."

• He did spend a few minutes talking about his accomplishments in the first 100 days, but then spent the rest of the speech giving the exact same campaign promises that he has not actually been able to take the first steps toward. Last I knew, ISIS is no more "on the run" than it was at the end of Obama's term. Economic growth this quarter was .7%. When he mentioned the Wall, it was to say "Don't worry--we'll have a Wall." How? Since you just took it off the spending bill because Congress won't fund it? Yadda, yadda, yadda. He's making us safe, making us prosperous, making us GREAT.

Tbh, what bothered me the most was the way the crowd was reacting with their chanting on demand at the end of each of his pronouncements like a brainwashed proletariat. I was reminded of watching the NK parade--everyone in the crowd chanting exactly what the Boss wants to hear. That was actually the creepiest, most frightening part, what we seem to be turning into.

That was not a president's speech. It was the ill tempered rant of a man who smugly feels he can get away with anything, and who continues to ignore or demean the 60% of the country that doesn't approve of the job he's doing. It was mostly an old recycled stump speech from his glory days of the campaign, when any hollow promise goes.

Very disappointing all around and like I said, it gave me the creeps.

Most people don't pay attention to their 'sixth sense', when they sense something isn't right. It was clear to many and is becoming clear to most now that trump is a child trapped in a man's body. And he has the mentality and temper (or lack of) that a child has.

An astute observation that the crowds resembled the crowds for Kim Jong Un. Trump has praised a number of the vilest dictators around the world. He recently praised Kim Jong Un for doing a 'tough job at his age'. Trump is a danger to the Republic. He talks constantly about 'doing something about the press and the courts'. Doing something? Sorry chump you aren't a dictator and you have to eat the spoon fed shit the courts give you. The people that follow him don't operate on reason, they only operate on gut level emotion. This is true on a general level with conservatives but with trump followers it is an absolute.

The people that follow him don't operate on reason, they only operate on gut level emotion. This is true on a general level with conservatives but with trump followers it is an absolute.
I can't go that far; there are plenty of decent reasonable conservatives out there who for some reason thought they could control Trump once he got in office. I believe they were wrong and we will see more and more of the unpleasant side of him as he gets comfortable in his position. As you pointed out, the other two branches of government will hold him in check, so I'm not too worried about him demolishing the country. It's just disgusting to watch him.

I don't think you care what he says or does. You are just so deranged that he exists.
Nevermind that it's apparent that regardless who won, if the guy wasn't a Democrat you'd feel exactly the same way about him too.

In other words, you didn't like the speech because you saw it was a success.

 

[pismoe]

I guess maybe I didn't make it clear in my OP, but my problem is not with the conservative agenda, but with the man. We should not conflate the two. I don't agree with all the conservative agenda, but what I am having a little gut level reaction to this morning is the smugness and the propaganda hype bulloney instead of thoughtful intelligent speech to ALL the American people. I don't rush to seek out Trump's interviews or addresses anymore, but I thought a 100 Day Rally by the sitting President deserved an hour of my time. Maybe I need to start building a bit of a bubble there, like Care4All. Or maybe I shouldn't--should remain informed. I don't know. It troubled me.

There is a difference between the person and the political agenda. The two are different. I disagree with the agenda but it's not much different then the platform other republicans have run on. But I don't like what I've seen in the man.

---------------------------------------------------- i approve of all of that and woulda been at the Rally if it wasn't so far away JQP !!

Then i take it you have personally taken all of your 19 to 30 year old loved ones down to the local recruiter as military offerings to your elected god.?

------------------------------------- take it anyway you like but if you have young people [kiddos] you might want to start getting them ready for the 'norks' and iran that mrobama and other administration have allowed to prosper and build themselves up JQP !!

Hmmm. It seems Obama was listening to the American people when they collectively suggested they were tired of war. Also, surely you remember the economic mess Obama inherited, don't you? After all Republicans had destroyed the economy with unfunded wars and undermined the war effort by giving tax breaks to the rich. How was Obama expected to stop Iran or any other nation under those circumstances? He certainty couldn't rely on a hostile Congress; one top heavy with racist demagoguery.

-------------------------------------------------- mrobama kissed iranian azz with his nukes deal and transfer of billions of USA dollars to 'iran' .

I hear it was Iran's own money being returned to them. Obama just showed he isn't a thief.

-------------------------------- USA had control of the money rather than the iranian enemy . mrobama never should have given them any money and sanctions should have been ramped up JQP !!

I loved it. The anti American leftists and their republican allies and the courts are trying to bring down America and President Trump is trying to save it. He is not going to sugarcoat the ugly truth,people NEED to hear the damn ugly truth and get their heads out of the damn ground and if that's what it takes to do it so be it!

 

[JQPublic1]

I didn't hear it but it couldn't have been any worse than His inauguration speech.

Actually, in tone, it was far "darker." More divisive. And mostly a recycled stump speech.

Darker.....meaning America First.

You do know Trump is a pathological liar don't you?

 

[mudwhistle]

The crowd was patriotic Americans.

Something that a noodle spined semi-communist Canadian like you will never understand or be able to appreciate.

It was a bunch of dumb fucking yokels, begging Trump to fuck them harder.

That's rich......coming from Democrat voters.
I guess you're used to it by now.....getting fucked by Democrats and being told it's for your own good.

What's best for the U.S. is stopping Trump's agenda. Surprisingly, lots of members of the GOP have joined the efforts to defend America from Trump, which shocks me as I thought there was no integrity left in the GOP.

What's best for the U.S. is keeping Democrats from being in power.
After 8 years of Obama's disastrous results you still cannot recognize it.......mainly because you really don't care.

I personally, did not think the USA could survive the the wall street and mortgage crashes and housing bubble bust of 2007/ 2008 and am grateful Obama helped get us through the biggest world wide financial and economic crisis in our lifetime! All economic numbers are northbound, compared to when he first got started.

I don't remember Obama lifting a finger to reverse the housing bubble (which was a crash). Mainly all he did was once the GOP took control of Congress much of the damage he was prepared to do had to be shelved until Hillary took office. So Obama was stopped and he was left to making changes thru federal court appointments and through backing groups like Blackliesmatter.

You can't even spell "most awful" correctly on your title and are criticizing speeches made by beacons of competence.

Rich!

And of course CNN finds every Trump speech a horror story. They are the Clinton News Network, after all.

Norman, I'm fully aware that 'awfullest' is not a word. I'm an English teacher and I choose my words carefully, make them up when I feel it will work best. LOL

 

[JQPublic1]

There is a difference between the person and the political agenda. The two are different. I disagree with the agenda but it's not much different then the platform other republicans have run on. But I don't like what I've seen in the man.

Then i take it you have personally taken all of your 19 to 30 year old loved ones down to the local recruiter as military offerings to your elected god.?

------------------------------------- take it anyway you like but if you have young people [kiddos] you might want to start getting them ready for the 'norks' and iran that mrobama and other administration have allowed to prosper and build themselves up JQP !!

Hmmm. It seems Obama was listening to the American people when they collectively suggested they were tired of war. Also, surely you remember the economic mess Obama inherited, don't you?

Would you rather the international community with deposits in our banks see America play by the rules or would you have them recall their assets because we stole funds deposited by another nation.

 

[OldLady]

What bogus link are you using?

I don't link for leftist trash.

You should trademark a bumper sticker with that.

 

[Dragonlady]

Having the rally itself shows what a whiny little insecure bitch he is. He'll do anything for the feeling of people liking him.

He had to have an excuse for not going to the Correspondents' Dinner.

-------------------------------------- Trump has the Freedom to attend any event that he likes , no ones business but his business as to the events that he attends .

The White House Correspondents Dinner is HOSTED by the President at the White House. That's why it's called the WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER. What kind of host invites you to dinner and then doesn't show up?

 

[OldLady]

Sorry, I thought you were Dragonlady.

Nonetheless, President Trump's speech in Pennsylvania was a resounding success. Attending the loser convention aka correspondents dinner would have been nothing but a waste of time,

As far as results - there are 1360 more days in his first term .

And 1460 more days in his second term.

It took Obama 2960 days NOT to close Gitmo.

Patience, patience.

Like he gives a shit about his supporters?
Heck, his proposed atrocious tax bill, his defunct health care bill, and his plan to send other people's children off to fight for the military industrial complex shows how much he cares.

---------------------------------------------------- i approve of all of that and woulda been at the Rally if it wasn't so far away JQP !!

[Luddly Neddite]

Nothing new from the cheeto. Just the lies he's been spewing all along. What's interesting is that he even repeated some of the things he's already flip flopped and/or backed down on. And still the trumpkins fell for it. And, notice they loved it when he said he still wants to gut the constitution.

Honestly, I think that's what patriotic Americans should be paying attention to - the trumpkins are in favor of gutting, possibly even scrapping the US Constitution.

The rally was nothing more than attempt to deflect from the Annual Correspondent's Dinner, where he was too chicken to show up. He's the biggest coward to EVER gain the White House.

Unfortunately the correspondents dinner has become nothing more than an attempt to deflect from the fact that the left is filled with raging hate mongers.

 

[kiwiman127]

One thing is for sure, Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan. Reagan was an uniter, Trump on the other hand, is a divider. As a matter of fact, the US has not had such a blatant divider as president in modern history. How can Trump think that he can effectively govern, when the thinks that anyone who disagrees with him in "the enemy." Amazing.

 

[pismoe]

and mrobama kowtowed to the enemy , not really surprised . How long did the USA have control of this money before mrobama gave it to enemy 'iran' OldLady ??

I was reminded of watching the NK parade--everyone in the crowd chanting exactly what the Boss wants to hear. That was actually the creepiest, most frightening part, what we seem to be turning into.

That was not a president's speech. It was the ill tempered rant of a man who smugly feels he can get away with anything, and who continues to ignore or demean the 60% of the country that doesn't approve of the job he's doing. It was mostly an old recycled stump speech from his glory days of the campaign, when any hollow promise goes.

Very disappointing all around and like I said, it gave me the creeps.
