The media have lost their minds after Trump's magnificent speech on Monday. It's all hands on deck, no attack is too extreme. Their main point is: DO NOT LOOK AT THAT SPEECH. It has "words that wound." Much too dangerous even to read it.
Instead of reporting what Trump said, the media give us the "gist" of it (in the sense of an unrecognizable distortion). It was awful, Hitlerian, beneath our dignity as a nation. They lie about what he said and then attack their own lies as if they're attacking Trump.
The Washington Post's headline, which got their reporters banned from Trump's press briefings, was: "Donald Trump Seems to Connect President Obama to the Orlando Shooting."
I guess OK, You're Right, didn't sound professional, so the Post pretended not to understand Trump's speech, at all. We can't makes heads or tails of it, but he seems to be saying ...
One thing Trump is not, is unclear.
Contrary to the Post's headline suggesting that Trump had posited some crazy theory about Obama secretly meeting with Omar Mateen to plot the attack -- No, this gun is much better for a mass shooting, Omar -- Trump criticized the Obama administration policies that are not keeping us safe. (It's completely unprecedented to respond to a mass murder by criticizing the policies that allowed it to happen!)
After San Bernardino and Orlando -- also, the Boston Marathon, Fort Hood, Little Rock, Chattanooga and Times Square -- quite obviously, Trump is right.
You make all good points. Mocking everything, hating everything is the stuff that makes the news from that community. Frankly, I don’t think gays as a class are likely to be all that hateful. More the activists, the DebbieWSchultzes of the gay political world. For myself, one who would distance himself from the gay lifestyle, to put it cordially, I was shocked at this massacre and severely distressed that so many Americans were killed by that monster. Upon reflection, I found (to my relief) that it did not matter to me that these were gays. Their lives meant as much to me as a similar attack on a Christian Easter service. I did read later that gay leadership, such as it is, excoriated people like me for caring (Anderson Cooper). C’mon, A**, Cooper. You can be against the killing of gay Americans without being for, say, gay marriage. I don’t believe the average soul from that community would feel the same as these activists with their agendi.
Am I wrong?
Well said. Very well said.
Thank you for your powerful and detailed response
I heard it on OAN. Trump was like a surgeon performing delicate brain surgery
Yeah...the Soddies....or the Sows...depending on what day it is...in their mosks.
Bleep-em all.
Need more pics of Ann!
Thank you for providing the text. That was an excellent policy speech. I can see why Media heads might be exploding.
You mean Obama has not sent the Iwo Jima Memorial Statue back to the Citizens of Iwo? /sarc
I was out of town, but OAN always carries his speeches.......
....in a year, they may have missed only one or two
My husband’s sister posted a screed on Facebook about it being Prolife and NRA folks fault
No mention of Radical Islamist Terrorist
I’ve had to endure her ridiculous, hateful behavior far too long
I heard he Booed the Boy scouts and God oh wait that was the Democrats, never mind.
That's because nobody at the Post listened to Trump's speech, either. They got their talking points from Ben Rhodes and dutifully passed them on to their reader.
I fully appreciate the dilemma.
Dear Washington.
America is coming.
And they’re bringing Donald J Trump.
I don’t think I saw the speech, not sure. I saw part of the one in Dallas, until they cut in with Hillary. Watched her until I couldn’t stand it any more. I despise that woman but I need to know what she says. And it ain’t good...
The Dallas speech was good, he had fun with a couple of protesters, one in a cowboy hat, said that gave him the idea to put Make America Great Again on a cowboy hat.
Get him outta here...go home to mommy...
He told them to let one stay if he wanted to, then kicked him out later when he started trouble again...
Anyway I usually don’t have to see the speech, watch what the media says and turn it around backwards, I’ll pretty close to what he actually said.
A good example is Obama and Hillary both saying Trump wants to ban all muslims...no, he said temporary ban on all immigration from countries with a history of terrorist activity. The first time, he did say temporary ban on muslims, since then he rephrased it and made it more specific.
I sometimes wonder if the first version might just be to beat them at their own game and get it into the news...free coverage...then refine it later into a more specific and common sense policy.
Never underestimate Donald Trump...
What do you expect from the Muslim Stream Media?
The media lies as Americans die at the hands of third world criminals imported by the democrat party, the scum of the world.
