Drudge: Trump's Best Speech (at Trump Washington Hotel Grand Opening)
YouTube Video/CBS News ^ | 10/26/2016 | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 10/26/2016 8:06:10 PM PDT by poconopundit

Trump spoke beautiful poetry today at his short speech before the ribbon-cutting at the new Trump hotel in Washington DC -- the Old Post Office.

His tone was very subdued. He used a metaphor comparing the American people's potential to the old Post Office that was neglected and not taken care of for decades -- beautiful.

Gee, if Trump keeps giving speeches like this, he can't help but win. So he's mixing it up -- he roughs up Hillary at the rallies, but he also elevates the discussion by explaining the dream of what American can truly be if each American thinks like a champion.

I've heard Ronald Reagan give pep talks to America.

To me, this was more special. Trump was more conversational: it was as if you were listening to him in a quiet living room. Very well done, considering he was reading from the teleprompter :- )

Here was a man of great accomplishment and leadership speaking directly to the individual soul of each voter. Quite stirring. Echoes of his Gettysburg address too.

Many months ago I posted a pictorial essay on FR featuring the Old Post office and the Capitol Building shrouded in scaffolding. On this ribbon cutting day, it's worth linking to that:

Congratulations to the Trump family and Organization on this special day of TRiUMPh...

This quote from that speech should be etched in stone on the side of every Trump property, and should be the theme of Trump's campaign from this point on:

"I've been very lucky, and I've led a great life. Now I want to give back to the country which I love so much, and has been so good to me."

You'll never hear this heartfelt sentiment from any Democratic pr!ck in this country.

oh I hope and pray that there will be a similar set up for a VICTORY speech — and not a concession speech. :( I want them to inhabit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave...not merely be a “presence” in D.C.

Ahead of time and under budget. Hillary said Trump used illegals to help renovate the building. Trump called her a liar and said that did not happen. I say Hillary lied once again.

He did great! His best ever. He is coming into his own. In this speech he realizes or expresses that he realizes what is at stake and is forging a dream, a vision of what we can be again.

He is right about all he said in this speech.

I have been for Trump since the beginning. The early interview with his butler way back last year convinced me he is worthy of loyalty. He has thousands of people working for him. Not one has come forward with a complaint or expose of scandal. He has done deals with people all over the world. Not one has said he cheated me. Some have said he beat me but none ever said he cheated me. These things are a considerable recommendation. Much better than the politicans can muster.

I hope and pray he can win the Presidency.

He’s a maverick, but clearly talented and indisputably successful.

In my mind, though, that is all preamble to this presidential run. In my mind, he is the one who has stepped out from the crowd, as every word he has spoken has been electrifying and inspiring. I can’t think of anyone who has historically matched him in the arena of presidential campaigning.

So you know, this is it!

Could we possibly allow ourselves to sink back into the mire of moribund Clintonism? The MSM considers this a done deal.

The next time the media criticizes Trump for taking time out to open the hotel, I suggest that Trump hand out a list of the total number of jobs he created by opening that hotel.

Far more than any of those useless jackals. And Hillary has never created a damn thing in her entire life, other than chaos, destruction and death.

OUTSTANDING speech; Trump at his finest.

Dear God, please let this man be our next president and savior of the USA.

If your mind isn’t made up to vote Trump after that 10 minute speech then you simply are NOT an American.

Very nicely put, Sequoyah.

I too have been with Trump from the day he came down the escalator.  You could tell by they way he spoke he was someone very special.  And yes, his experience and reputation in the business world is incredible.

Critics are always saying: "But he has no political experience!"  Poppycock.  You can't build skyscrapers in big cities unless you know politics like the back of your hand.

And something very new and exciting Trump brings to the Oval Office is his understanding of the economy and the world of finance!

What does Hillary know about finance?  All she knows is how to steal the bread from a earthquake refugee child in Haiti -- what a cold, heartless b*tch.

The Crooked One is also incapable of giving a speech like Trump gave today.  She can't because the Wizardess of Oz is a complete and utter fraud.  She pushes other people's buttons by intimidation, but she's totally incapable of creating anything of enduring value herself -- the proof is the complete collapse of her campaign.

Plus, through the miracle of WilkLeaks, the secrecy and shady practices she chose to hide by deleting her 30,000 emails are coming back to haunt her in the Podesta messages.

Happy Halloween, Crooked Hillary.  Enjoy it while you can: no Trick or Treat Foundation games are allowed at Fort Leavenworth.

After Donald Trump's great little 10 minute speech, YouTube ran another news video showing the damage done to Mr. Trump's star embedded in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The bronze letters and the star and marble stone around them were obliterated this morning by a man wielding a sledgehammer mouthing anti-Trump sentiments. The perp has not yet been apprehended. He was dressed as a construction worker, fitting into the landscape like he was doing work in the area.

It was a rich liberal from BevHills. And he used a pickaxe (not a sledgehammer) - apparently for the first time.

This is the first speech from Trump that I've heard. I despise political speeches, regardless who gives them, so I never listen. This time I did.
Just....wow. That was so very well done, that a bitter cynic like myself wanted to cheer, but the wife is asleep. My view of Trump has been hugely elevated by that speech. It was inspiring and brings shades of the Great Communicator to the present day.
