Donald Trump: The Art of the Address
NYT ^ | 03/31/2016 | Bob Garfield

Posted on 04/01/2016 12:30:03 AM PDT by BuckeyeTexan

FOURSCORE and seven years ago, our fathers — and also, our mothers. I love mothers, too, because we need our mothers — brought forth on this continent a huge nation, a great, amazing country dedicated to the proposition that we can beat any weak losers who are bad, bad guys and totally overrated, believe me.

Now, it just so happens we are in a horrible, stupid war. They’re killing us. Just killing us. I would sue for peace, because when I sue I never settle, but if it had been up to me we never would have been here to begin with. I would have negotiated, and I wouldn’t have risked the country over a few slaves, who some of them might be good people — I had some nice African-American ladies working for me, and they were very dependable ladies — but it’s dumb to risk the whole country for political correctness. It really is. The blacks love me, by the way. Frederick Douglass has been to my house.

So, here we are in front of you beautiful people of Gettysburg, and you are a very good-looking group of people. You know, I went to business school near here so I know Pennsylvania, believe me. I love the people of Gettysburg, and I can tell you are embarrassed about what our country has become.

Do you see these Amish people buggying around with their very unattractive women in their sad outfits? Please, who would even date these women?

Those bearded fanatics haven’t even bothered to learn English, and they’re taking your cow-milking jobs. It’s sad. It’s sick. It really is. And I know you are angry. I’m angry, too, because I love this country and I can make it great again.

This is funny but it does bring up a historical point. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was widely panned in its day for being short and sweet. Speeches of that era seemed to go on forever (I guess no TV-radio-internet meant people viewed this as a form of entertainment to pass the time?) so maybe a 100 years from now Trump’s speeches will be studied and repeated like that - kids getting chuckles at his wit, etc. Kennedy was the first to be funny on TV with witty one liners if I recall.

my mother’s horrifically naïve.

I’m thinking of telling her in the morning that i’m leaving my wife for a transgender woman named Amber.

And we’re going to adopt.

If Trump is elected, he should hire Mark Steyn as his speechwriter and spokesman.
