In Speech to the CIA, Trump Offers to Build Them a Room Without Columns: ‘Do You Understand That?’

At the end of Trump's speech to a room filled with 400 employees of the CIA, Trump said, rather cryptically, that maybe he'd build them a bigger room 'by someone who knows how to build and we won't have columns, do you understand that?'

[OKSooner]

Duly chastened and contrite. :)

Time to bring back the great patriotic posters of WW II. I would so enjoy watching progressives melt into little quivering puddles of goo.

I really couldn’t care less if “bad language” offends you. No one is seven years old here, and we don’t need language cops.

Thank you!

Safe spaces are for special snowflakes.

Or maybe he was referencing Zero’s grandiloquent speech before 13 Greek columns after sewing up the `rat nomination?

It symbolized the 8 years that followed of I, I, I style, talk talk talk and no substance.

Indeed they can no longer rewrite history.

[Vaduz]

Their resistance is futile they have no idea what they are up against freedom is at risk.

They make veiled threats and he throws down a hulk-sized gauntlet....love that man.

It's not a matter of safe places. It's a matter of having enough intellect to be able to get your point across without being profane. Profanity interrupts and short circuits the flow of ideas—it's like putting in a big, loud, ugly exclamation point in your dialogue.

Columns are for ceiling support, there’s a way to build a bigger room but the architecture must be precise.

Profanity interrupts and short circuits the flow of ideas—it's like putting in a big, loud, ugly exclamation point in your dialogue.

And sometimes those big, loud, ugly exclamation points are perfectly warranted.

I can't tell if that was the case here or not because a special snowflake went crying to the mods and got the post removed.

And, for what it's worth, there's a difference between shouting profanities within the earshot of children and silently reading them. If someone can't handle reading a bad word, they've got serious issues that need to be addressed. That's their problem, not mine

PING!!!

It’s clear he meant the fifth column in the CIA. And that’s why Brennan is having fits.

Nothing wrong with courtesy and respect. The language employed was neither. An intelligent person can make his point better by using the language properly. Anyone can bellow like M. Louise Ciccone.

[The Westerner]

You’re so right. Here’s the thing though: what made these individuals applaud for five minutes and why were so many agents wanting to attend? Does that mean the worker bees are pro-American and only the management needs changing? Their reaction astonished me. I assumed the rank and file were leftists.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Thanks!

Special snowflakes don’t impress the mods at FR. Mods found that the language was not wanted on FR. Perhaps they were trying to preserve a minimal standard of civility?

[NellieMae]

Oh good grief!! President Trump has been around building construction his whole life!! I bet that as soon as he entered that room his builder instinct kicked in and he just meant that he could build a better constructed room,one without actual columns for support!! It was probably as simple as that!!

[ransomnote]

If he hadn’t followed with, “Do you understand....?” I might agree with you. He veiled it - and he only veils info for a reason because he’s usually both barrels.

[WildHighlander57]

Oooooooo........

I saw that (closed captions & speakers cranked up), but didn’t get the reference.

Now I do; many thanks for the insight!!!

What you were getting at was, he was referring to traitors in their midst (or in charge). !!!!

[poconopundit]

I assumed the rank and file were leftists.

I suppose with all the shenanigans going in the Boobamba era, you might think that the agents are leftists.

But my hunch is you don't normally agree to work in the service of your country and sometimes in dangerous posts if you're not a patriotic person.

It would be good to hear someone confirm my hunch.
