Trump's unhinged CPAC speech should concern us all
Eugene Robinson
The president of the United States gave a rambling and incoherent two-hour speech in which he raved like a lunatic and told crazy, self-serving lies from start to finish. If that no longer qualifies as alarming, were in serious trouble.
I realize the speed-of-light news cycle has moved on. I realize anything that happened last week has all but faded into the mists of time. But President Trumps unhinged performance Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference is surely worth more than a passing shrug. If you had an uncle or a grandpa who sounded so divorced from reality, youd be urgently concerned.
You know Im totally off script right now, he said. And this is how I got elected, by being off-script. True. And if we dont go off-script, our country is in big trouble, folks. Because we have to get it back.
There was nothing, anything, like a script.
He tried to talk about the Democratic Partys proposed Green New Deal: When the wind stops blowing, thats the end of your electric. Lets hurry up. Darling Darling, is the wind blowing today? Id like to watch television, darling. No, but its true.
Not even remotely true, but he was just getting started.
