Its almost Reaganesque and has a personal touch to it that you rarely see from politicians.
I liked it for standing up for our country, for its hard working people and terminating policies that harm them.
Trump is the American populist version of Greece’s Alex Tsipras. Despite their different ideologies, the same thing fuels their insurgent candidacies.
Anger at the establishment, fears over the loss of national sovereignty and a desire to change things for the better.
All over Europe, establishment parties of the left and right are losing ground. The same thing is now happening here. Populism is here to stay.
I'd go farther. In Reagan's time, the solutions didn't seem as impossible. A majority of the population had memory of the promise of the US, and the direction we should be heading in. Reagan provided the promise of bringing things back in that direction.
This Trump speech went far beyond that. He has to provide a context to people who don't have much if any experience with those values and accomplishments the US has lost over the past few decades. Trump had to provide a vision, inspire other to follow it, and exhibit leadership. He did all that. I'd say that speech is a classic, one of only a handful of that caliber, compared to any historically remembered speech.
There had to be a speech writer involved. I'm wondering who it is. It does seem that Trump is getting a lot of talent on the team he's building, and it's people who share his agenda.
