Weak voice, weak voice, don’t worry
Some horrors from Trump’s speech in Youngstown, Ohio yesterday.
Then yesterday I was in West Virginia with almost 50,000 of our most impressive young Americans. They are young men who learned to cherish words like duty, honor, god, and country, the Boy Scouts. Then only a few hours ago the senate approved a vote to begin debating the repealing and replacing the Obamacare disaster. [ cheers and applause ] Finally. You think that’s easy? That’s not easy. We’re now one step closer to liberating our citizens from this Obamacare nightmare, and delivering great health care for the American people.

I’m here this evening to cut through the fake news filter and to speak straight to the American people. Fake news. fake, fake, fake news. [Chants of “drain the swamp” from arena]. Boy oh boy, people. Is there anyplace that’s more fun, more exciting and safer than a Trump rally?

This has been a difficult week for the media because I forced them to travel with us all around the country and spend time with tens of thousands of proud Americans who believe in defending our values, our culture, our borders, our civilization, and our great American way of life.
It’s funny he says that, really, because in reality he is no fan of our values, our culture, or our way of life. Our values include various norms about how people in government should behave, and he spits on those every minute of every day. Our values are not just right-wing values. Our culture includes science, scholarship, arts – music, dance, design – originality, creativity, discipline, collaboration – none of which he shows the smallest sign of sharing. The only version of “our great American way of life” he believes in is the one he shares with mobsters and Ponzi schemers – do whatever it takes to get as rich as you possibly can, and call everyone else “losers.” All he really means by that string of phrases is “white people.”
And finally, we believe that family and faith, not government and bureaucracy, are the foundation of our society. You’ve heard me say it before on the campaign trail and I’ll say it again tonight. In America we don’t worship government. We worship God.
Says a man who worships nothing but money and himself.
[Crowd boos at something]. They’re pointing to a protester. Honestly, if you don’t point, nobody’s even going to know he’s here. Weak voice, weak voice, don’t worry. [Chants of “USA” from crowd.] Boy,he’s a young one. He’s going back home to mommy. Oh is he in trouble. He’s in trouble. He’s in trouble. And I’ll bet his mommy voted for us, right?

Political correctness for me is easy. Sometimes they say he doesn’t act Presidential. And I say, hey look, great schools, smart guy, it’s so easy to act presidential but that’s not gonna to get it done. In fact, I said it’s much easier, by the way, to act presidential than what we’re doing here tonight, believe me. And I said — and I said with the exception of the late great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any President that’s ever held this office. That I can tell you. It’s real easy. [Cheers]
Hm.
We will never be silenced by the media. I want to protect America, and i want to protect the citizens of america. Your hopes are my hopes. Your dreams are my dreams. I’ve had a great successful career. I’ve built a great, great business. This is the only thing that matters. This is the only thing that matters. There is nothing else.
Values.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. I’ll opt for that.
@iknklast is it for a root canal? Even that sounds more fun than a Trump rally.
No, Claire, fortunately it’s just a crown. A bit of drilling, but nothing too intense. I’ve never had a root canal, so i can’t say for sure if it’s more fun than a Trump rally, but I’ve had kidney stones, and that is more fun that a Trump rally.
I suspect a Trump rally may be a fairly exciting place, precisely in the way that the intense, immediate, urgent absence of safety often is. So we’ll give him that. He does bring the riot, and we’re all the shop windows.
…”and he spits on those every minute of every day. ”
Sorry Ophelia, I think you spelled that third word incorrectly. Second letter should be “h”.
Spitting would be an improvement.
