Normalization.
The best analysis I read was TPM's Josh Marshall - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few-thoughts-on-trump-s-speech--2
one of his thoughts - "I can't in good conscience not add here that the speech was strewn with demonstrably false claims. But we expect this now."
But shit I read elsewhere - Van Jones crying? "with this speech he became president"?
I knew this would happen and it was utterly predictable - because the media is largely incapable of doing anything like a competent job.

Trump will make an ass of himself by mid day tomorrow again. I do see the normalization thing too but He is just too stupid to not be a dick.

(743 posts)Oh my. That must be one helluva culture shock.
BTW, love your username. Unfortunately, it probably won't last very long. Then again, my liver probably won't either with Trump in office. I swear, this is may be the first time in history where the population is aging faster than the president occupant of 1600 Pennslvania.

I didn't watch much of the speech, but from I didn't hear "bigly" or his usual off the wall stuff. His speech was better than his inaugural address. He didn't sound as hyper as he can be.
