I literally thought this was a satire article until I watched the speech and realized he really did say these things:
"Rusted-out"
"Tombstones"
"Gangs"
"Drugs"
"Carnage"
"Depletion"
"Disrepair"
"Decay"
"Ravages"
"Destroying"
"Bleed"
"Blood"

"It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedom..."
You interpret a call for unity and an end to racism as a negative thing. I don't get that.
Please list the negative words in the following:
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same Almighty Creator.
So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words -- you will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way. Together, we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And yes, together, we will make America great again. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you. God bless America.

He even said islamic extremists. How dare he.
I suspect he was elected be cause he sees problems that people are experiencing.
If he were Democrat, we would have heard about the trials of transgendersa, and gays, and blacks, and muslims, etc.
But having said that, parts of his speech could have been spoken by a Democrat--B. Sanders even. It wasn't conservative. Both sides paint dark pictures, so that they can fix them.
said what a demagogue says.
He actually said that united, Americans can do anything. It was filled with positive language...which is another thing that makes DRO's post so strange, as the majority of the speech seemed to be full of positive hope and change talk, but all he heard were negative words, which were just precursors to the positive statements.
In fact, if there is a real criticism of the speech, it is that it was too positive. It was "this is the moment the oceans stopped rising speech." He promised to wipe Islamic extremism from the face of the earth. He making too many promises. His problem is not being negative. His problem is that he is too positive about the future.
Like him.
Try listening to it. It was awful.
It was so incredibly ungracious and crass. I really don't see how this Presidency can be a success.
As for me, I think the two main parties were already doing that. I guess that is why I can be so calm about Trump. He doesn't have the support of either party, so he really can't be a dictator, I don't think. But, he MIGHT actually get something done in a different direction than where our two parties were leading us. If he doesn't, well, we had nothing to lose anyway.
I don't think he will be a dictator, but he could well still be a disaster.

Not that he wouldn't like to be if that were an option.

Our President. It's really he that does not want to be the President to half the country. No effort on his part. No concept of real leadership. See quotes from Lincoln, Churchill etc. Guess his support in Russia is more important to him.

The Dems have been in control of the inner cities for almost 100 years, and there has been no progress. If the Dems fix things, they lose their base.
But, if Trump fixes things (and I'm not sure he can if the Dems can keep people divided, but at least he seems to want to try), then the inner city inhabitants will start to vote in a 50-50 split more like the rest of the nation. Enabled people and independent people vote 50-50, not 90-10 for one party.

Even his own supporters know not to take him literally, like he's going to give every American health insurance. He said that also.
you want him to fail--no you are praying he fails.
And he regularly says shit that he has no intention of doing.
failed--so there is nothing to lose. pray a little harder.

But, if there are enough condemnations, then they will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If he succeeds, though, it would crush the Democrat Party, and the Dem leadership know that.
Number of times Trump said "I", 2017: 3
Number of times Trump said "we", 2017: 45
Number of times Obama said "I", 2009: 3
Number of times Obama said "we", 2009: 59
As always, you hear what you want to hear. And you disregard the rest, as Paul Simon said.
If you are tying to imply that Trump is less narcissistic than Obama, then you should be in an institution.

But there are multiple examples to point towards which support my comment about Obama's predilection for use of the word, but really, so what? He probably doesn't even write his own speeches.

I think he said that

He delivered the exact same message in the primaries and in the general election. Only fools expect him to pivot now.
This is the message the people voted for. This is the message he delivered.
He is what he is.

He'll never stop campaigning, b/c that's all he's ever done...sell his own brand. He doesn't know how to do anything else.
What are Huff Po, Mother Jones, and Daily Kos down?
That must have been a Trump imposter in the video, right? Afterall, they are such a biased source.
