There are people out there who want to hurt us badly. It’s Trump’s priority to keep them far away. The streets of America have roaming gangs of savage beasts.
Yep, and there they were last night...

Let’s not kid ourselves. That was a super speech. Not flowery, except that in parts it was eloquent without being flowery. Not poetry, except that it was poetry. It was a blast from the heart of the heart of America. It was as if Mr. Trump did not even have to use words. His sincerity and power in touching what Americans want to hear was beyond prose.

I have been a speechwriter since I was 18. First for Senator Joe Tydings (D-Md.) and then for Mr. Nixon and Mr. Ford and for decades for myself. I listen to all speeches carefully and with an ear to their music. Sometimes, as with Jimmy Carter, there was a dull thud. Recently, there was the wild self-mockery of Mr. Obama talking to whites like a Cambridge, Mass. Don, and a few hours later to black people in Philadelphia as if he were raised with hands bleeding from picking cotton in the Mississippi Delta.
Tonight’s was an early Mozart symphony —far better than we could have expected, hitting every right note, and with the promise of still greater to come. This man is a fast learner. And as my pal, John Coyne, an ace speechwriter himself, said to me recently, “His heart is in the right place.” He’s off and running.
Ping.
Link goes to article about bathrooms ...
RR, I think the link is not right.
“Bueller? Bueller?”
Ben Stein isn’t one to get overly hysterical.
He also hasn’t been a yuge Trump fan.
The fact that he does use superlatives, is telling.
Yep. Thx.
MY President !
His heart is in the right place.
President Trump did a great job.
Thx for that correct link. I made the original post from my Kindle Fire, which often leads to snafu’s.
save for later
He makes perhaps the most important point - that Trump is sincere. That is refreshing after 8 years of a sneaky lying politician.
I’m glad you found it. I put Stein’s name in the search bar, and it wasn’t on the list that showed up.
I looked at about 100 newspaper front pages at the newseum website. Only half had anything about the speech but every one that did, had something positive in its headline. I guess they couldn’t find a single gotcha phrase in the entire speech. It was a great speech, in words, delivery and sincerity. Wow!

Isn’t white Muslim garb?
If only Mr. Stein had seen the light earlier. His failure to do so, spoke volumes about him.
