[struggle4progress]

... I didn't know that Melania was going to be saying the Lord's Prayer, but I thought that was very beautiful, thank you, thank you ... I am here to tell you about our incredible progress in making America great again ... We are here today to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ... The White House is running so smoothly. So smoothly ... A great spirit of optimism is sweeping and you see it ... We believe in two simple rules. I can tell you everybody in this massive, this is a massive hanger. For the big planes ... We're standing up ... If you were a bad student in high school, you can understand it ... You're all part of this incredible movement. This movement that we talk about so much. That's been written about on the cover of every magazine all over the world. It's a movement that is just sweeping ...

1. Thanks. I used an excerpt of this in another thread. n/t

2. Add this to 20% tax on foreign products:

...We don't want companies saying, everybody is fired. We're moving to another country. We're going to make the product. Sell it across the border and isn't that wonderful. Not going happen anymore.

We're going to have strong borders and when they want to sell that product back across our border, they're going to pay a 35% tax and you know what, they're never going to leave. They will never, ever leave.

What do you call a nation that can't afford to buy goods from other countries?

All this from a man who dismisses minimum wage, unions, Fair Pay and labor rights?

It's all back to where it started - we can't afford "Made in the USA!"

Such a mess.

8. Whoa, reading this is a struggle and I have been an avid reader since

before I started kindergarten!

There is just so much here that is disturbing. But one thing that really stood out to me...
(quote)
Okay. So we're going to have the gulf states pay for those safe zones. They've got nothing, but money.
(unquote)

Without googling, are Mississippi and Louisiana gulf states? And aren't they always on the list of the poorest states with the most people on assistance?

Also, he is bringing back all the talk about bad drug people just pouring into the country with cheap drugs. It seems to me the past several years, the drugs that are causing the most problems are the ones people can get at Walgreens!

These are just some big things that stand out to me. It is very hard to read. He seems incapable of speaking in complete and coherent sentences.
And I don't believe for one minute he did not know Melania was going to read that prayer. I know his followers (and it does seem like such a cult now) went nuts over that. OH PRAYER! That will make America great! Sure. Because everyone prays, and of course they all have the same prayers, right?

SO, basically....UGH!

9. I suppose he meant the "Arab states of the Persian Gulf"

but he's not very good at disambiguation.

11. "Persian Gulf"

yes i believe he was referring to the "gulf" as the Persian gulf. I feel like i heard that somewhere. Who knows, he could've meant "golf states" for all we know.

10. Makes more sense when you know it was a rally for bad high school students

Thanks for the clarification.
