For two centuries, Poland suffered constant and brutal attacks. But while Poland could be invaded and occupied, and its borders even erased from the map, it could never be erased from history or from your hearts. In those dark days, you have lost your land but you never lost your pride. (Applause.)
So it is with true admiration that I can say today, that from the farms and villages of your countryside to the cathedrals and squares of your great cities, Poland lives, Poland prospers, and Poland prevails. (Applause.)
Despite every effort to transform you, oppress you, or destroy you, you endured and overcame. You are the proud nation of Copernicus -- think of that -- (applause) -- Chopin, Saint John Paul II. Poland is a land of great heroes. (Applause.) And you are a people who know the true value of what you defend. The triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope for a future in which good conquers evil, and peace achieves victory over war.

I wonder if the German Chancellor ever could say something like this.
Trumps speech, while made in Poland and in front of several thousand Poles, was directed at the below.
1. Putin
2. Merkel
3. Pope Francis
4. The EU
Great speech!
Welcome to the EU.
President Trump represents America well.
It is a speech for the ages.
Magnificent speech to a crowd who loves freedom and knows it’s absence. BTW, did anyone notice the Confederate flag in the crowd? Southerners everywhere are smiling. The Mayor of New Orleans is apoplectic.
I wonder if the German Chancellor ever could say something like this.
Trump was nice enough to call them “Nazis” invading Poland. Calling them Germans would have been just as accurate.
Such a great speach, and the reception (viewed it this morning on Fox) was fantastic.
Whew boy, the pajama boys and jihadis are not going to like this one. Not one little bit!
What were the people in the audience chanting?
Message to Americans is that we need to defeat cultural Marxism in our own country! Everyone talks about “liberals,” but we all really know that they are communists. Communists are followers of a party line. They are not critical thinkers, they can’t reason, they have no use for real facts, and they have no powers of logic. it is their party line or it’s uncontrolled emotion and violence. Groups like antifa and BLM have grown and were fostered by the globalist communist Obama!
Trump’s message to us from Poland is clear.
Too bad for Gerald Ford, that he didn’t put it this way.
I hope Trump had a better translator than Jimmy Carter did.
