A total history ignoramus who doesn’t read books or do research, Trump did not know most of the names and events he was reading off the teleprompter that his speechwriters had written. Trump was responsible for none of his speech except for slighting John McCain and adding the coarse Trumpism–“poor bastards which brought a typical self-satisfied smile to his smirking face.
In fact, Trump was a military coward (buying his way out of the draft) with a cynical view of war (how he avoided STDs). He has exploited and manipulated the military as props and pawns to suit his ends, flatter his ego, and falsely portrayed himself as a patriot (having committed treason and consorted privately with Russian, North Korean, and Saudi killer-tyrants against America), He is, ironically, one of the dictators he mentioned in his speech.
Trump remains totally out of touch with reality and, consistent with his past behaviors, did not mention the California earthquake earlier yesterday (he doesn’t believe there are any ecological or climate issues and has no feeling for his fellow Americans), the border crisis (with the suffering of children and non-whites), and the plight of military veterans and their families (Note how he hasn’t given any money or resources to help them). Complimenting the military for tanks and fly pasts is frankly not being truly and genuinely supportive of the military.
From the get-go, all his blathering propaganda about American equality, equal rights and freedoms are everything this dictator-king is opposed to, He is destroying Western democracy, the Constitution, the law and court system, institutions, traditions, and the livelihoods of many Americans. With the nasty gutless Republicans, he has divided the country on political lines through means such as voter suppression, gerrymandering, and shutdowns. He is the single-most destructive, corrupt president in history. He personifies Lord Acon’s “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Re. women getting the vote, remember his many sexual assaults and “grab ’em by the …..”, exploitive immoral attitudes and behaviors toward women.
Re. his ‘salute’ to the black man refused service at a lunch counter, recall his “Get that sonofabitch off the field” comment.
After wrapping himself in the military, the flag, and the genuine accomplishments of notable Americans, he did a final sleight-of-hand by wrapping himself in “Almighty God”. All of this to get re-elected, to avoid jail, and to create a stupid mindless frenzy among his followers and the rest of any other not-so-bright Americans who might have been impressed or dazzled by his false, hypocritical speech and performance last evening.
