Rate President Trump's Independence Day Speech

[Norman]

It was flipping awesome! Step in the right direction for certain.

1776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of Western civilization and the triumph of not only spirit, but of wisdom, philosophy, and reason. And yet, as we meet here tonight, there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing our ancestors fought so hard for, struggled, they bled to secure. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. Many of these people have no idea why they’re doing this, but some know what they are doing. They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive, but no, the American people are strong and proud and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history, and culture to be taken from them.

One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.

This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children from this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us.

Make no mistake. This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution. In so doing they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress. To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage.

Small step for a man, big step for America.

I read it and it was like I was hearing Trumps voice in my head as I read it. That's ok, thank God i don't hear Obama's!

Skimmed the transcript.....6.5, 7 tops

Could have toned down the politics of the day, but it's an election year and the overwrought hysteria over the covid cooties has him grabbing the political rallies where he can.

7? This alone was worth an 8

I'd have to say one of his best.
And the liberal media agrees. The more they froth at the mouth the better the speech.

 

[Blaine Sweeter]

I heard this:

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump speaks for the silent majority of Americans. Don't let the minority of left wing propagandists and rigged polls fool you.

 

[Meathead]

I heard this:

That would be the voice in your head.

 

[Thunk]

I'd give it a 90-95% which is an A.

I loved it when he told the filth you will not tear down our monuments or destroy our history!

10 YEARS you pieces of filth! Enjoy those 10 years in prison!

I wonder what the NFL kneelers were thinking about that.

 

[Brain357]

We need to come together and he brings us farther apart. Horrible speech.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

miketx - there was nothing new. Just his usual lies and blaming others for his screw ups.

The audience looked like they had the most fun ever without wearing a white hood.

 

[occupied]

A horribly partisan speech. The opening shots of the dirtiest presidential campaign we will ever see.

 

[rightwinger]

Not as good as last years 4th of July speech when he enthralled us with stories of Ramming the Ramparts and Washington capturing airports.

Your sig is as telling as your last one. Pretty funny though.

 

[Blaine Sweeter]

Trump should be the LAST one to thump his chest as some sort of fucking patriot.
Five fucking generations of grifters and.....DRAFT DODGERS.

 

[Blaine Sweeter]

Yup.
But it's rumored that Trump will drop out of the race if Moscow Mitch says so after Labor Day.

God willing and the creek don't rise.

 

[citygator]

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and round up to a 1 because there was no scary ramp to walk down so he looked less of a pussy than normal.
