Trump Uses Mount Rushmore Speech to Deliver Divisive Culture War Message

Trump Uses Mount Rushmore Speech to Deliver Divisive Culture War Message

Down in the polls and failing to control a raging pandemic, the president cast himself as waging battle against a “new far-left fascism” that imperils American values and seeks to erase history.
...
With the coronavirus pandemic raging and his campaign faltering in the polls, his appearance amounted to a fiery reboot of his re-election effort, using the holiday and an official presidential address to mount a full-on culture war against a straw-man version of the left that he portrayed as inciting mayhem and moving the country toward totalitarianism.

Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children,” Mr. Trump said, addressing a packed crowd of sign-waving supporters, few of whom wore masks. “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.

Lawyers are taught that when the law is on your side, pound the law; and when the facts are on your side, pound the facts -- and when neither the facts or law are on your side, pound the table. Trump's Mt. Rushmore speech is the equivalent of pounding the table, as his governance, such as it is, leaves America far worse and weaker than it was when he took over. That's why he needed to invent a straw-man enemy -- "far-left fascism," tearing down statutes of our founders {Confederate generals are our founders?}

An example of totalitarianism is HIS actions to use the wheels of government to punish his enemies, like those who testified before the Impeachment Hearings, and reward friends by allowing them to go free after committing high crimes.

The idea that Joe Biden is somehow a radical leftist is as silly as it sounds.

It's a bitch when you far-left radicals get called out in public.
 
One hundred and twenty countries and nations under American sanctions can prove the straw man theory. And as well all know, sanctions are an act of war.
But now, America, its nation and people are going to rue the day they gave away there rights, its sovereignty, its laws and its freedoms to those that corrupt the very existence and wealth of the nation.
The dollar is going to collapse, unless China throws you America and the west a life line, as at present, China cannot pay in gold, but how it's getting around that agreement is they offer to pay for oil in yuan, and can buy back the yuan for gold. Getting around agreements to allow American establishment greed destroy you and your families. Gone is the corruption that was the petrodollar.
Stand on your own feet, the rest of the world is no longer carrying your debt.
 
all these" Trump speech sux"" articles were written by the lw dem press before he even gave it. They just touched up some details. They know their audience isn't very bright or critical.
 
Take deaths / cases X population = for potentially 15,000,000 total dead if the infections to deaths doesn't change.

We won't ever know because we just don't have the wherewithal to test 330 million people and the major mistake that everyone has made is this BS that the virus just happened to start in early February when the first cases started. MSM trotted out this ridiculous story that it came from Europe because of testing of strains of virus and the reports I saw about that were really unintelligible. There is STILL this desire on the part of the lefty not to blame China at all costs. We see that when someone calls it the China Virus or Wuhan Flu. The media goes ape****. Thus,the diversion that it came from Europe.

Well over 400,000 people came from Wuhan and China primarily to the major cities, New York topping the list after this virus had already hit Wuhan hard. Wuhan is a major point for Chinese Americans to fly in and out of. They would be on huge 747s with hundreds of people spreading the Corona virus as if they would be on a cruise ship. Then they go back to their crammed condo or apartment or high rise and spread it some more, like wildfire and NO ONE knew it. How many people can 400,000 travelers infect in 2 and a half months from November 17th when the virus was discovered? My guess is many, many millions and my other guess is tens of millions already got it and don't know.
 
Now multiply .04% times 330,000,000.

semantics. .04% is just a way to represent the number .0004 IS .04%

I assume you know that, so then why are you all arguing it?
 
NO I don't
and putting everybody that doesn't think like you into a left hate group is not right
there are many people that are left leaning that do NOT think the same way as these people do and should not be grouped with them
and as for voting for Biden again I think it would be another case of voting for the lesser of two evils
If there was anybody else that I thought could win I would be voting for that person
and as for the " appeasement " of our enemies Trump has already done that,
have a nice day

So the party of tolerance(Democratic Party) is tolerant of people who disagree with them? I asked you what Biden brings to the table and this is your answer? I am still waiting, you tell me exactly what results you expect from a President and what skills that person needs to be successful?

Paradoxical didn't know the difference between .04 and .04%. We here at DP decided to give him a quick lesson at which point he pretended to know the whole time. If that doesn't sound like a trump supporter...

It is and was semantics. Only reason I belabored the point is to show that this is NOT a pandemic when only 0.0004 of the populace has died from this thing and that 80% of them are over 65. In California, almost half of the people who have died were over EIGHTY FIVE!!!

So what in the hell is it we are doing?? What is the normal life expectancy of a human? We're closing down a country so that people can line another week, another month, a few more months? Knowing that people who are over 65, wouldn't the prudent thing for MSM to do is to hammer this FACT home? No! Why? Because we have a dangerous sickness in this entire nation right now where MSM wants to stop Trump at all cost and anything they can do to damage him and make it seem like everyone is in danger of dying because of him so they will get their Marxist candidate in there, Joe Biden.

MSM is indeed the enemy of the people. We have a bunch of far left wingers in media today in all of the major TV and printed "news" whose main thing is to destroy Trump. Instead of reporting facts, they are reporting hysteria to sell air time and pin it on Trump. How many in the general public know the figure I quoted.....0.0004? Hardly any of them. If I were to do "man on the streets" thing and ask twenty liberals how many people have died from COVID as a percentage of the population, I would get a blank stare, or "A lot" or figures ranging from 4% to 10% with the 4% being 13 MILLION, 200 thousand instead of what I show at .0004

Many of these posters don't know this, either and are just parroting the stuff they hear from the usual clowns on TV that this is a major pandemic. It is NOT. The Spanish flu was a pandemic. This is NOT even close. When you deduct that 80% of people over 65, you are left with just 26,400 people under 65 who have died from this since it got over here in late November or early December, a full over 7 months ago! THAT is what MSM should be reporting on 24/7. Instead, no one knows this except for a handful of people who are heavily into this sort of thing. The majority just listen to hate news for their information. If MSM really were NOT the enemy of the people, they would say, "Look, this virus is pretty bad, but the people at risk are over 65 and we encourage all of those in that age group to stay home and have others get their groceries and medication, etc. You (over 65) are retired and can do that for the sake of the younger population and we ask that you all comply."

See my above comment, wise ass.

At this point where the virus started has no effect on our response. It's also of little merit to determine mortality rates based on a population that hasn't yet been exposed or infected.

People can hide under their beds, I suppose, or America could starve because no one is working. Economic collapse would follow.
 
The number offered for the equation was .0004%.

I did that for the dummies because I know that all of you are nail biting. But if it makes you happy to think that 4 percent of America is dying, you go girl.

Nail bite over one in twenty five thousand people dying with 80% of them being over 65 and already sick.

100% correct!!

Don't be silly. Only 4% of the people confirmed infected are dying.
 
It's a bitch when you far-left radicals get called out in public.

CONSERVATIVE DEFINITION: “far left radicals” — people protesting police abuses.

I didn’t know that is why they are rioting in left wing Oregon and blocking traffic for Trump. Thanks for letting us know.
