2, March 2017 Trump’s Speech
In
an incredibly low bar of expectations, President Trump stayed on script and was
able to read from his teleprompter taking long pauses for thunderous applause
from sycophantic Republicans who just a few months earlier had mocked and
ridiculed him.
Predictably,
Trump heaped praise on his many accomplishments with promises of creating
millions of jobs, winning wars, adding 56 billion to an already bloated
military and building a beautiful wall on our southern borders. ‘Huddled
masses’ will no longer be welcome to our shores. The architect of hate
condemned “hate in all of its very ugly forms.” Candidate Trump I hope you are
listening and embarrassed by your denigration and assaults on women, mocking
the disabled and anti-immigrant diatribes.
He
promised to repeal the ACA with TrumpCare with significant lower costs and
better coverage but the Pipe Piper offered no details on how this Houdini magic
would be accomplished. He recently admitted to the nation’s governors that
“nobody knew” replacing Obamacare “could be so complicated.” Oh really! Town
hall meetings are becoming so loud and raucous that Congressional
representatives are fearful to attend. The thud of shovels and pitch forks are
getting louder.
He
promised to commit $1 trillion in an infrastructure plan for the nation’s
“crumbling infrastructure” but offered no details.
Perhaps,
the lowest point of his speech was his cynical exploitation of the grieving
wife of Navy Seal Ryan Owens who lost his life in a botched raid in Yemen.
