I am in Washington to attend Turning Point USA’s first-ever Young Black Leadership Summit. Today’s highlight was a visit to the White House, where President Trump addressed the group in the East Room. We arrived at the East Entrance to the White House around 9:30, started going through security at 10:00, and were in the White House proper by 10:30 or so.
At 11:30, Ben Carson warmed up the audience for the president. This is what a portion of the crowd in the East Room looked like as we waited for President Trump to appear. There were lots of MAGA hats in evidence, many of which Trump signed when his speech was over:
Trump got a rapturous reception from the Turning Point audience, which sometimes bordered on the rowdy, to the president’s evident delight. He began by acknowledging the arrest of the bombing suspect, whom he did not name. Nor did he comment on the partisan dimension of the bomb story. He praised law enforcement for speedily solving the crime and denounced political violence. He said that the Republican Party is the party of unity for all Americans.
The crowd at the Turning Point summit is the Left’s worst nightmare–hundreds of young, articulate, thoughtful African-American conservatives. We chatted with some of them, mostly students from colleges across the country–a math major from Stanford, a filmmaker from Columbia, a political science major from DePaul. They sounded like pretty much any group of conservatives at a Trump rally: “USA! USA!” “Build that wall!” “Trump! Trump!” In short, it was fun.
This is the first couple of minutes when Trump emerges to shouts of “USA!” and begins his speech by talking about the bomber:
The Young Black Leadership Summit continues with a dinner tonight and a full slate of programs tomorrow and Sunday.
The guy's got a few synapses not firing in sequence.
IOW, a crackpot. :-)
You’re forgetting some basic truths:
1) Democrats lie
2) Democrats are antifa
3) Real Trump supporters don’t act like antifa
To make it simple, I have only one point here: Cesar Altieri is not a real Trump supporter.
Can’t disagree with you there.
I read his father is Pillipino and his mother is Italian.
And my one point is you are not the Pope of Trump support.
Indeed, you are setting yourself (and us) up for a REAL setback if this thing breaks the wrong way.
I think you’re overreacting.
We need to review a few things on a conceptual level.
1. Trump’s idea to make America great again means working
within the system
A) what has made America great are things like truth,
justice and love
B) what has detracted from America’s greatness are
things like
i. The racism of the democrat party
ii. Sending bombs to political opponents
2. Making America great again will be accomplished by returning to the principle listed in 1A and eliminating the stuff in 1B
In what universe is hesitating to postulate some sort of a conspiracy theory, or refusing to grant some person on the internet the authority to write the rubric for definitive “Trump support” qualify as an “overreaction?”
Sure. Just as soon as your "conceptual level" isn't populated by little more than cliches'.
