Hope you're happy Republicans, because here is your standard bearer this November....
Trump today in Indianapolis:
"When our country continues to go forward even when it has massive problems, massive deficits .. our country is being taking advantage of and eventually our country is going to be in such trouble and I'm not going to use because I would never use the word, that our country is going to die. It's going to be a much different place if we don't get smart very, very quickly on trade, on defense.
(Applause)
We have to build our military strong, we have to build it big, strong --- powerful!! So that we're not messed with. Look at what Putin's doing in Russia with nukes! You look at what Putin is doing in Russia with his military! It's modernized. They're building all over, wherever they feel they need they put! We don't do that! We're getting smaller, smaller, weaker, weaker. WE HAVE TO BUILD UP OUR MILITARY. WE HAVE TO MAKE IT STRONG![ WILD APPLAUSE.]
We're gonna build the wall. [Audience chants "Build that wall! Build that wall!"]
Those are direct quotes, btw. Here are a few more:

"Here's the story folks: our country doesn't win anymore, We don't win on trade, we can't even beat ISIS. Can you imagine if you gave the word to General Douglas MacArthur to knock out ISIS? It would take him three days.
General George Patton who was not a politically correct person so he could probably never be a general as colonel probably couldn't even be a sergeant or a corporal. General George Patton. You say, General? Knock out ISIS. Yes sir! Three days later, "where's ISIS they're gone..."Oh, and "we should have kept the damn oil. "
Then he says we're going to kill oil truck drivers. Then he talked about how much he loves waterboarding, how he's stop Carrier from moving to Mexico.
.....And be sure to make America great again.
That 35% import tax he is talking about? Will if have an effect on his clothing made in Mexico or in China, Malaysia or Viet Nam?
What makes Trump more frightening is when you read his comments. Hearing him is one thing, but seeing them in black and white shows clearly that is eloquence is that of a boy, boasting, speaking big and saying nothing. Then as he tries to handle something more complicated than a simple declarative, this is what you get
ReplyDelete"our country is being taking advantage of and eventually our country is going to be in such trouble and I'm not going to use because I would never use the word, that our country is going to die." Would love to see a semanticist or logician have ago at that! He's a bull shit artist.
