Trump goes for Biden’s jugular in convention speech
Spectator USA ^ | 8-28-2020 | Freddy Gray

The Democratic nominee went after Trump’s character – the President focused on his opponent’s political sins

President Donald J. Trump just gave an impressive and unprecedented State of the Union address from the lawn of the White House…oh wait, it was his 2020 Republication nomination speech. It just felt like a quasi-imperial event.

The address was long, too long for an acceptance speech — coming in at over 6,000 words, it took more than an hour. Trump just always has to dwell on all his achievements. ‘I say very modestly that I have done more for the African American community than any president since Abraham Lincoln, our first Republican president,’ he said. That really is his idea of modesty.

(snip)

The speech lacked some of the wild energy of his campaign rallies, which led even some Fox News analysts to call it ‘flat’, but it also had many strong moments. Perhaps the most notable aspect was the sharpness of Trump’s direct attacks on his opponent. (emphasis mine) Trump has given up on teasing Joe Biden for not being ‘all there’ because it wasn’t working. Instead, he mocked Biden and the Democrats for their record in government.

‘In America, we do not turn to government to restore our souls,’ he said. ‘We put our faith in almighty God’ — a neat jab at the Democratic promise to ‘restore the soul’ of America. ....

(more snip)

Then he went for the jugular, ‘Joe Biden is not a savior of America’s soul,’ he said.

‘He is the destroyer of America’s jobs, and if given the chance, he will be the destroyer of America’s greatness. For 47 years, Joe Biden took the donations of blue-collar workers, gave them hugs, and even kisses, and told them he felt their pain, and then he flew back to Washington and voted to ship our jobs to China and many other distant lands.

‘Joe Biden spent his entire career outsourcing their dreams and the dreams of American workers, offshoring their jobs, opening their borders and sending their sons and daughters to fight in endless foreign wars, wars that never ended.’

Whereas Biden had spoken in rather vague and grandiose terms about the President’s not inconsiderable character flaws, Trump was more specific about all Biden’s political sins.


TOPICS: Campaign News; Issues; Parties
KEYWORDS:
Biden said "in rather vague and grandiose terms about the President"????

You have the whole 4 days of DNC convention, speaker after speaker accusing president Trump of 'murder', "genocide", etc. etc. Falsely accused him of mishandle the pandemic, and the cause of current unrest/riots (if they even mentioned it).

Spectator USA is slipping, shame if it goes the way of NR (and/or other outlets).

I tested to see if I could hold my breath longer than Biden’s acceptance speech. I did. It was only 50 seconds. That is about all the gas that old bag has.

I can’t wait for Byedone to hit the campaign trail. Trump is like Jaws. Circling with a fork and knife and bib on.

Of course President Trump is correct that he has done more not just for the African American community, but for ALL of us.

All the media does is look for negative spin on some irrelevant aspect of what Trump said.

CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and all the others have only one narrative in mind: to destroy Trump.

Their obvious lack of integrity, fair reporting, and disdain for even the least of the journalist standards, will come back to haunt them.

They are unAmerican, and enemies of the America we know and of the Constitution are they not?

Are you thinking of The American Spectator? A different publication than Spectator USA.

If you think that was sharp, wait till you see what the Dems say about Trump in October. Buy popcorn!!

The Dems/Biden are planning to rob the middle class of their IRAs and 401(k)s. What’s left all be confiscated in inheritance taxes. They need the capital to pay reparations and support for Illegals.

***Trump just always has to dwell on all his achievements.***

He sure does, otherwise, no one would ever get to know about them. The alphabet media sure won’t tell anyone.

Take as long as you want, Mr. President. I’ve got the time.

True. How do we really know Biden is alive? With CG, you can fake anything. I recall the movement “Weekend at Bernie’s”..Just sayin’.

Just to add fuel to your fire, how about RBG?

Dare ‘they’ put RBG and JB in the same photo?

Would they be able to say

“WEEKEND AT BERNIES, THE PORN VERSION”

(Damn that statement conjured up one helluva image..all needed is Helen T for the 3way and there ain’t enough eyewash)

I wish President would stop saying low IQ Joe and “I can’t imagine I will lose to low IQ Joe”. GOd forbid nightmare happens and Joe wins imagine the mocking of the press “Trump couldn’t beat low IQ Joe what does that say”.

Oh, piff.

Trump has given up on teasing Joe Biden for not being ‘all there’ because it wasn’t working.

Actually, I think it's "Mission Accomplished."
