“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for others. This is the spirit that forged America in her darkest hours, and this is the love that will lead America back to the summit of human achievement and greatness.”
Two words: Bone spurs.

“ We must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement. In that spirit, the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the Justice System and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy, especially since that is not true, in fact, I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country”
I’m feeling really united right now.

“ On Monday, a major ruling was handed down from a highly respected federal Judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, finding that the prosecutor and the fake documents case against me were totally unconstitutional and the entire case was thrown out.”
Actually, she said Smith was “unconstitutionally made a special prosecutor” — she never said your case was unconstitutional. But you were never skilled at understanding nuance. Or facts. Or much of anything, really.
4/
“ If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch hunts without delay, and allow an election to proceed that is worthy of our people.”
YOUR party said it wanted to unify Americans and there you go attacking Americans.
Hell, you’re a criminal. You literally were convicted.
You blame YOUR actions on others.
I’m sure it was the teleprompter’s fault.

“Thank you, Melania, and thank you also for your beautiful letter to America calling for national unity. It captivated so many. I also want to thank my entire family—Don and Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared, Eric and Lara, Tiffany and Michael, Barron, and of course, my ten wonderful grandchildren.”
Who will help me dismantle the US government and establish a monarchy for, by and ruled by the Trump family.

“ And by the way, Wisconsin, we are spending over $200 million dollars here, creating jobs and other economic development all over the place—I hope you will remember this and give us your vote in November! We will Make Wisconsin Great Again, I promise.”
Remember Wisconsin, quid pro quo. You don’t hand me the presidency I’ll come down HARD.

“ I am here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation. To every citizen, whether you are young or old, man or woman, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, black or white, Asian or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of loyalty and friendship.
Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen before. ”
Don’t say “you’ll get tired of winning” — we saw what happened last time: 400,000 Americans dead.

“ Under our leadership, the United States will be RESPECTED again. No nation will question our power. No enemy will doubt our might. Our borders will be totally SECURE. Our economy will soar. We will return LAW and ORDER to our streets, PATRIOTISM to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony all throughout the world. “
Basically, this is the Cliff Notes version of Mein Kampf. The Cliff Notes of the Cliff Notes.

“Then there is an INTERNATIONAL CRISIS the likes of which the world has seldom seen. War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three, and this will be a war like no other.”
Dude, no shrooms before the speech… aw fuck, he dropped acid instead.
Donny, what did I tell you about your stash?
10/
An aside, more people died under Trump in war than Biden. Inconvenient, but a fact nonetheless.
“I will END the devastating Inflation Crisis immediately, bring down interest rates, and lower the cost of energy—we will DRILL, BABY, DRILL, which will lead to a large-scale decline in prices.”
And a large-scale decline in being able to live on this planet.
But you don’t like Biden because he is old. So killing the planet is your better option?
11/
“Just a few short years ago under my presidency, we had the most secure border and the best economy in the history of our country. We had NO inflation, soaring incomes, and the world was at peace.“
SIXTY-FIVE AMERICANS DIED on your watch in Afghanistan! We didn’t have soaring incomes or inflation because your Administration wouldn’t address COVID. You put children in jails and took them from their parents. How was any of this good?
Oh, right, rich people!
12/
“But in less than four years, our opponents have turned incredible success into unparalleled tragedy and failure.
Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens. Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs taken. Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens, and forced the Middle Class into a state of depression and despair.”
I’m a divider, not a uniter.
More people are working, the economy is better. But the shrooms!
13/
“ mWith great humility, I am asking you to be EXCITED about the future of our country.”
OH, JUST FUCK OFF!
You don’t do humility. Hell, you cheat at golf.
“This week, the entire Republican Party has formally adopted an agenda for America’s renewal.”
More tax cuts for the rich.
“Total household costs have increased an average of $28,000 per family.”
We’re retired and on a fixed income. This is total and absolute bullshit.

“Under the Trump Administration, just three and a half short years ago, we were Energy Independent, but soon we will be Energy DOMINANT and supply not only ourselves but the world.”
False.

“And all of the trillions of dollars that are sitting there not yet spent, will be redirected for important projects like roads, bridges, dams, and we will not allow it to be spent on the meaningless Green New Scam.”
There were TWO bills. The first addressed the infrastructure, something Trump never addressed as President.
The second addressed what was required to STOP KILLING THE PLANET!
16/
“ I will END the Electric Vehicle Mandate on Day One — thereby saving the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration, and saving U.S. customers thousands of dollars per car.”
17/
We bought an EV. We will save THOUSANDS of dollars every year, not just from the one time buy.
Trump wants to help Big Oil and Big Auto on the backs of America. Workers. Oh, and did I mention, KILLING THE PLANET?
“The way they will sell their product in America is to BUILD it in America, and ONLY in America. This will create massive jobs and wealth for our country.”
Yeah, you promised this in 2016. You had merch made in China. No new manufacturing in the US under Trump.
18/
In fact, Trump’s tariffs, which he STILL DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, hurt American businesses who were forced to outsource to China because they couldn’t build it cheaper in the US.
“At the center of our plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers—and that includes NO TAX ON TIPS.”
See massive tax cuts for the rich that are permanent. Any cuts for us will be eliminated in a year.
19/
“I gave the biggest tax cut in history, bigger than the Reagan Tax Cuts, but I am going to lower taxes still further.”
And increase our debt more.
“By contrast, Democrats have promised to end the Trump Tax Cuts”
Because they did nothing but increase our debt.
“I am going to LOWER taxes…”
By increasing debt. Nothing is free. It’s called bullshit accounting. He would know.
20/
“ I am going to PROTECT Social Security and Medicare—Democrats are going to DESTROY Social Security and Medicare. ”
You can’t cut taxes and “save Social Security and Medicare” UNLESS your increase the debt.
What he means is he will cut taxes and to save Social Security and Medicare raise the age you can retire. He will cut Medicare so it will be useless.
That is his plan.
It’s like “saving” someone’s life by letting them die.
21/
“But no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the illegal immigrant invasion at our Southern Border.”
BROWN PEOPLE!
Take a drink.
“ At the heart of the Republican platform is our pledge to end this border nightmare, and to fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders of the United States of America—on Day One.”
Unite the White.
BTW notice how everything happens on day one.
How will he watch TV?
22/
“Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history.”
Also President Trump in 2018: “ The big Caravan of People from Honduras, now coming across Mexico and heading to our “Weak Laws” Border, had better be stopped before it gets there. Cash cow NAFTA is in play, as is foreign aid to Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen. Congress MUST ACT NOW!”
Apparently, the border wasn’t his fault in 2018.
24/
“We have become a dumping ground for the world, which is laughing at us. They think we’re stupid.”
To consider Trump is Presidential material. That is why they think we are stupid. That we would pick Trump over Biden.
“That is why, to keep our families safe, the Republican Platform promises to launch the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.”
And if one or two Americans are expelled, that’s the price of freedom.
25/
Ah, Eisenhower with “Operation Wetback” — about as racist as it gets. You know why there is a “problem”?
We let businesses get away with it. The problem IS NOT people entering the country, the problem is that business don’t want to hire people for minimum wage. So they hire people who will take less. Sometimes much less.
If Trump does as he says, food prices will skyrocket. You think they’re bad now? Try double under Trump’s plan.
26/
“I was the first president in modern times to start NO NEW WARS.”
He tried to START one by assassinating an Iranian general, but Iran didn’t take the bait.
So, no, it’s not that he didn’t try, it’s that EVEN IRAN recognizes a stupid fucking idiot.
He also kept wars that should have ended going.
The next bit is a doozy…
27/
“There was peace in Europe and the Middle East. Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine. Under President Trump, Russia took nothing.”
IRAQ under Bush. Obama we stopped Iran from pursuing nukes. Trump froze aid to Ukraine (Russia invaded in 2014). This alt-timeline of events is maddening. You could write 4000 words on how wrong it all is.
28/
“We defeated 100 percent of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, something that was going to take five years, and I did it in two months.”
2019-2017 = TWO FUCKING YEARS
Can’t subtract, doesn’t even try.

“We defeated 100 percent of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, something that was going to take five years, and I did it in two months.”

“ 13 heroic U.S. servicemembers were tragically and needlessly killed,”
65 died under Trump.
You know what?
Here’s the link to his speech.
It’s just wrong. All of it.
A final word: Trump’s speech is easily debunked as false. You can do it as well, if not better, than myself.
Use your favorite search engine.
Truly, most of this stuff you can find in minutes. Much you have to set a search range. It helps that I have a good memory for useless trivia. Sometimes I’m wrong on details but right on the overall “big picture”.
If this was supposed to be a “unite America” speech, it pisses me off. It is historically inaccurate, deceptive at best…
… and just plain wrong at worst. He invents history to align to his world view, He spews racist THEM talking points as if all America is stupidly crazy straight white cis-men.
Trump is, at best, average. He has no interest in learning. His mind is stuck in the 1960’s. Does he know what TODAY’s reality actually is? No. He thinks PoC live in slums and white men run all businesses.
He can’t unite America, when he doesn’t know what it is.
Nor cares to learn.
@feloneouscat Thanks for the link!
@feloneouscat "He is interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections."
@feloneouscat #politics #DemocratAction #DoTheMath
Okay, after suffering through 
speech-I got an idea.
I propose a new counter-offensive called "Do The Math". Here's just a couple of lies/bullshit trump promised tonight:
Finish building the Border Wall
Mass deportation Day 1
Build an Iron Dome over all America to protect from missles
My favorite: DO THE MATH based on a range of income levels to show exactly what reductions non-billionaires people get vs uber rich/corporations
@feloneouscat #politics #DoTheMath
If Democrats sponsor a campaign that FACTUALIZES trumps lies/fantasy/bullshit and make them REAL- I think that could change peoples minds.
@QueenOfEverything @feloneouscat
It’s crazy the way they were gleeful about uprooting millions of people’s lives many being forced back to who knows what. People will die. It’s migrant genocide, but “Hooray hooray Trump is our new Messiah!! MAGA, fuck yeahh mass deportations!”
Just totally disgusting lunacy.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @feloneouscat
They’re such sheep…. It all started with TFG’s grandstand behind him in each rally- where they’d hang out t-shirts and posters for the theme of the day like “Black Voters for Trump”. At the RNC different propaganda signs were passed out to inspire people and get shown on camera- “MASS DEPORTATION NOW” was the most visible, particularly during the final hours. His description of immigrants are mostly lies but he’s selling FEAR that only he can save them from.

“ The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country—they are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East—they’re coming from everywhere, and this administration does nothing to stop them.”
Did I mention BROWN PEOPLE!!!
Be scared!
And just to prove it, another lie:
“ Meanwhile, our crime rate is going UP…”
Nope, they are the lowest since his administration.
