This speech essentially went off the rails the minute that Trump opened his little anus shaped mouth.
CNN did their very best to itemize the incredible cavalcade of lies and misrepresentation of the facts that Trump vomited forth on his audience, and you can see that here.
I will present some of the lowlights to save you some time:
"And just so you know from the Secret Service, there aren't too many people outside protesting, OK. That I can tell you."
This was literally the first line, or should I say lie, of this speech.
There were in fact thousands of protesters outside of the venue and there was also a number of arrests.
"Our movement is a movement built on love."
Perhaps the biggest lie of the night, and one that Trump himself will refute a little later on when he starts attacking his opponents, on both side of the aisle, and in the media.
"Just like (the media doesn't) want to report that I spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence and strongly condemned the neo-Nazis, the White Supremacists, and the KKK."
"So here's what I said, really fast, here's what I said on Saturday: 'We're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia' -- this is me speaking. 'We condemn in the strongest, possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence.' That's me speaking on Saturday."
Trump purposefully left out the part about there being hatred and violence "on many sides, on many sides."
THAT is what sparked the initial criticism against him.
"The New York Times essentially apologized after I won the election, because their coverage was so bad, and it was so wrong, and they were losing so many subscribers that they practically apologized."
Trump has said this a number of time, but it did not happen.
"How good is Hannity? How good is Hannity? And he's a great guy, and he's an honest guy. And 'Fox and Friends in the Morning' is the best show, and it's the absolute, most honest show, and it's the show I watch."
I think that speaks for itself. (I will however remind everybody that in a 2012 study it was found that viewers of Fox News were LESS informed than those who watched no news at all.)
"But, you know, they all said, Mr. President, your speech was so good last night, please, please, Mr. President don't mention any names. So I won't. I won't. No I won't vote -- one vote away, I will not mention any names. Very presidential, isn't' it? Very presidential."
This is the sitting president literally going after one of the Senators, John McCain, in his home state, during a campaign style rally.
"And nobody wants me to talk about your other senator, who's weak on borders, weak on crime, so I won't talk about him. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who the hell he is."
And this is the sitting president going after the other Senator, Jeff Flake, in his home state, during a campaign style rally.
"I don't believe that any president has accomplished as much as this president in the first six or seven months. I really don't believe it."
The thing about facts is that you do not actually have to believe them. And the facts do not even come close to supporting this claim.
In fact they prove the exact opposite.
Trump also mentioned "They're trying to take away our culture. They are trying to take away our history," as a dog whistle to his faithful about the Confederate statues being torn down.
Another thing that Trump kept referencing was the huge size of the crowd gathered inside the convention center to hear his speech, but that was also quite the exaggeration.
But one thing that CNN left out that TPM caught was Trump toward the end of his speech suggesting that he might close down the government if Congress does not okay his stupid border wall.Here's the full crowd as #TrumpinAZ finishes up. pic.twitter.com/iUGVUmppGZ— David Catanese (@davecatanese) August 23, 2017
To be clear this is the guy in charge of the government, threatening to lock its doors and turn out the lights if he does not get his way.
Well I promised you unhinged, and you have to admit THAT was unhinged.

“That's $O funny. Look back there,” Trump told the crowd. “The live RED lights they're turning those $UCKER$ off fast, I'll tell you. They're turning those lights off fast. Like CNN. CNN does not want its falling viewership to watch what I'm saying tonight, I can tell you.” 3rd Person?

DeleteFor the president to threaten to shut down the government is a violation of his oath of office -- "to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
ReplyDeleteEven I had to swear to that when I was sworn in as a member of my local school committee. And I meant it. It was a solemn moment. Clearly, the words didn't sink into Trump's skull.
To bargain the good faith and credit of the U.S., which would throw out borrowing power into chaos, to threaten to withhold paychecks to millions of government employees, and to stop Social Security checks to millions more -- for a partisan political reason -- seems to me to be an impeachable offense.
It is the president's job to prevent Congress from doing that, to the best of his abilities.
DeleteIt is a violation of his oath for him to do so. Not that he alone can do it. The threat is an empty one. But it is entirely inappropirate.

Delete"The presence of Michael the Black Man - variously known as Michael Symonette, Maurice Woodside and Mikael Israel - has inspired not only trending Twitter hashtags but a great deal of curiosity and Google searches. Internet sleuths find the man's bizarre URL, a easily-accessible gateway to his strange and checkered past."
"The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites."
"Look at those signs behind me," Trump said to the roaring crowd. "Blacks for Trump. I like those signs.""You watch. You watch. Those signs are great, thank you."
"Before he started calling himself Michael the Black Man, the man identified as Maurice Woodside joined a cult led by Hulon Mitchell Jr., who went by Yahweh Ben Yahweh and eventually turned violent. The two men met when Woodside was 21 years old."In the early 1990s, the New Times reported, Woodside, Yahweh and 14 other members of the cult were arrested by federal agents and charged with racketeering and conspiracy in 14 murders and a firebombing."
Later"Woodside changed his name to Maurice Symonette. Eventually, he became Michael the Black Man, an anti-Democrat - or as he calls them, Demon-crat - who preaches the Bible and abhors homosexuality" Last night>"Michael the Black Man flashed one back, smiled and mouthed, "I love you!""
