He must be on the TelePrompter, he speaks like an eight year old with a runny nose. lmao...talking about losing jobs to overseas manufacturing. THIS coming from an asshole that has all of his shit made somewhere else!

(22,023 posts)Unfortunately, it's possible that the broadcast is linked to the directional microphone on the dais which would not be able to pick up the crowd noises because they would be behind the mic's orientation. They may have cheered but you couldn't hear it.
Hope not, though!
Donald Trump is an idiot.

(9,077 posts)His ego is being crushed and he is having a mental breakdown spread over several months, before our very eyes.
It is very sad!
He has zero charisma when reading the words of his son-in-law on a teleprompter. He looks and sounds like he doesn't understand or believe what he is saying. This is not the Donald Trump that millions embraced, thinking he tells it like it is.
The audience is very muted. He sniffs regularly into the microphone, and during the stilted applause he raises his head, batters his eyelids and breathes in, looking very effeminate.
He's says he's going to withdraw the United Straights from the TPP. Compare the audience reaction to Trump with Clinton and Warren.
There is no real excitement for Trump at all. Even his followers are bored of him.

If you are a struggling worker... He is resonating. Full. Stop.
You have him laying out the problem from the perspective of labor. You have him guiding their anger to the "other". Simple and straightforward.
Of course he is a thieving liar who will say anything to get elected to enrich himself & others like him. But thats so besides the point.
Like the stopped clock... Hes got trade deals down. Its not that "trade deals" are wrong. Its that they have been negotiated without any regard for safety nets for displaced workers. None. Under the guise of raising all boats they neglected to tell citizens that in order to raise 3rd world boats they are cutting your living standards.
Doesn't matter how global you're thinking & concern for global poverty. Doesn't matter how many names you call American workers. Doesn't matter if a thousand years from today vietnamese workers will also make $15 an hour. They don't vote here. Noone brought the american worker to the trade table and showed them a vision for global peace & prosperity. They weren't consulted regarding this global corporate giveaway. Common sense tells us that if you produce goods a world away & ship things back it hurts not just the workers, it hurts the environment.
He is dangerous.
HRC needs to place responsibility for bad trade deals right at the feet of the guilty. Apologise for the guilty even tho shes not at fault. Explain what she will change. And totally trash the TPP.
You know who needs to be brought to heel? Free traders. I'm all for free but very fair trade that doesn't take diminish the political, health, safety, environmental and self determination of nations.
He has a strong message. HRC needs to take it away from him and make it hers. She can make it happen. She needs to make this happen.
