At Mount Rushmore, Trump exploits social divisions, warns of ‘left-wing cultural revolution’ in dark speech ahead of Independence Day

President Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his Presidency Friday evening at Mount Rushmore, and for evidence consider the echo-chamber headlines above. The chorus of independent media voices understands that Mr. Trump is trying to rally the country in defense of traditional American principles that are now under radical and unprecedented assault.
Dark? In most respects Mr. Trump’s speech was a familiar Fourth of July ode to liberty and U.S. achievement that any President might have delivered in front of an American landmark. “No nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America. And no people have done more to promote human progress than the citizens of our great nation,” he said.
Contrary to the media reporting, the America Mr. Trump described is one of genuine racial equality and diversity. He highlighted the central ideal of the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.” As he rightly put it, “these immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom” that included the abolition of slavery more than a half century later.
Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. also believed this to be true, and Mr. Trump cited them both, as he did other American notables black and white, historic and more recent. There was not a hint of racial division in his words except for those who want to distort their meaning

Just as one famous talk show host once said: When you have read one of those sources, you have read them all. It really is a rabid left echo chamber with no truth, validity or independent thinking. Screw them all.
Anti-America factions have been dreaming (and scheming) for this moment to come since the 60’s.
I hope we have the resolve as a country to repel them another time.
Pay wall.
Fine. Declare your own cogent, principled vision of what you think the country ought to be, send it off to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and start it. Anywhere, everywhere. I assume you want all of the country. So, just start it. Pick your Fort Sumter moment.
they’re not progressives their regressive. they want some old throw back to another century with their tired old communism/marxists ideas.
talk about an old flop
Fort Sumpter moment?
I would upgrade to Stone Mountain moment
“Divisive”
Yes, I suppose it divides the people who love the founding principles of this nation from those that hate them.
Forward over the cliff. Now that’s progressive lol.
The usual suspects. They all said the same thing about President Trump’s SOTU, every Independence Day speech and his Inauguration speech.
Well...weren’t there any white people to shoot? They said they would. Still just trying to provoke a first response? Gonna keep crying wolf? Better get on it. I don’t picture them enjoying the war so much in winter.
It started a lot longer ago than the Sixties. Anarchists and commies have been active in America since before the Civil War.
This has seemed to morph from an “Impeach Trump” effort into a destroy America effort by the Soros backed leftists and Democrats. The question is whether they will continue until they get the civil war they think they can win
The media is who is dividing the country.
btt
It’s only “dark” to those who cannot comprehend the light.
. Your relatives?
Yes..but we don’t speak of them.
They’ve never evolved to the whole air breathing level of things.
Do you invite them to dinner? Evolutionary racism, is that your excuse? :)
How can we invite them to dinner?
We’d have to submerge the whole dining room!
:D
