The word that comes o mind is focused, a man on a mission and not flippant or giddy...
His mission was NOT to come in and tell jokes but to convey what He has done and how He has led this country forward and upward, not what the Demo’s are spewing
If one takes some time and looks at the responses across the board on the Internet even Dems are impressed by the speech and the messages. Van Jones, no friend of the President spoke of the danger to the Democrats by his real and effective inclusion of Black Americans and the real progress and impact of what he is doing and has done. Of special note to me was the use of a term for “Education” and the delivery of it.
I love that he called it Government Schools, and the “Edutocracy” fully part of the Propoganda Ministry indoctrinating our youth and calling it Education. When he mentioned the “scholarships” being made available and how the Dems like the Governor of Pennsylvania denying them the battle was on.
So it was his game face, calmly and succinctly showing and sharing with the American People what he has done, and not sit there and counter punch that garbage they are spewing.
To me it was perfect, but obviously opinions vary...
Presidential
I agree with you that is what we saw, and is a given. Just dared to express the personal thought that what we saw was the short story, but I pose no argument against the rah, rah. We all agree on that. Bigly! Trump is our Patton, to the core.
Hubby said best Presidential speech EVER.
I also noticed that POTUS used the expression “government schools”. I’ve been using that term for years (thanks to some long-forgotten but fully appreciated FReeper who posted about it many years ago). Nice to see the expression. Most people are so accustomed to the term “public school”.
Perhaps this will begin to wake people up to the fact that our failing schools are GOVERNMENT run.
... and if they wake up to that idea, perhaps they will also wake up to the idea that the government is lousy at running things. They run things into the ground.
“The government that governs best, governs least.”
Thanks, 100A. Great post.
