President Donald Trump jetted to South Dakota on Friday to deliver a paean to what he believes to be is a forgotten America, in the shadow of Mount Rushmore.
The speech laid out Trump's consistently grim vision for an America in which he is not its President as he engaged in his usual amount of fact-bending and breaking to serve his rhetorical and political purposes. I went through the transcript -- and pulled out the lines you need to see.
1. "Let us also send our deepest thanks to our wonderful veterans, law enforcement, first responders and the doctors, nurses and scientists working tirelessly to kill the virus."M/B>
This is the only time Trump mentions the coronavirus pandemic, which hit a record number of cases nationwide on Friday, during the entire speech. And away we go!
2. "I am here as your President to proclaim, before the country and before the world, this monument will never be desecrated."
Uh, was there some sort of movement to tear down Mount Rushmore I was unaware of or....?
3. "And yet, as we meet here tonight, there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing our ancestors fought so hard for, struggled, they bled to secure."
The nation under threat from the liberal horde is the theme of this speech -- and Trump hits it HARD. Repeatedly. Also: There is nothing so motivating as fear in terms of driving people to the polls. Or so Trump hopes.
4. "Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children."
Like I said...
5. "Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities."

CNN is ATT
Don’t forget that, loyal subscribers.
The butt hurt is immense. The President called the left out for what it is. They don’t like it.
Why even post this crap?
you could have waited a couple of days. I am so tired of seeing such jingoistic propaganda of FR.
( PUKE)
Liberalism can never withstand scrutiny.
Cillizza finally found his resting place wih like minded rabid retromingent leftists who lie with a straight face and expect useful idiots adopt it as gospel. What a bastard.
“In Trump’s mind, there are only two kinds of protesters: dupes who have no idea what they are even protesting and professional rabble-rousers like Antifa. That, of course, totally dismisses the idea that the protesters — or some large chunk of them — are committed believers that the police need to be reformed and that racial inequity remains a real and pressing problem in America.”
In this case there are only two categories - useless and hopeless - because the percentage of deaths of blacks by police is extremely small compared to black on black deaths.
So any people that actually believe they are committed believers in an anti-cop protest are just being duped.
Or you could just go on to the next thread.
28 outrageous LIES CNN distorts about Trump’s speech.
I love this president. This was one of his best speeches.
Trump baited them good, and will double down today
>>Uh, was there some sort of movement to tear down Mount Rushmore I was unaware of or....? <<
Yes, there is you dumbass. Your own network called it a monument to white supremacy.
And the N.Y. Times called for its destruction.
Well, number 1 wasn’t a lie, so I quit reading.
Imagine if your entire window on the world, the extents and limits of your perception, was CNN.
...behold Sleepy Joe’s voter base.
Chris makes a pretty weak rebuttal to Trump’s speech. In fact, he actually makes Trump’s points stand out.
Are you freaking kidding me? Where has this guy been the last week? All he had to do was watch his own network.
My wife and I just watched it and it was spectacular. CNN and the NY Times are doing their best to control the negative narrative. It won’t work.
I read the speech and it was wonderful. CNN is the problem.
