Sorry folks, but I really have to post this about today's New York Times account of last night's Trump's Rome, GA talk!
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/03/10/us/2024-presidential-election
For all of our non-subscribers:
"In a combative speech filled with insults, Trump mocks Biden’s stutter and vilifies migrants and others.
"Early in his remarks in Rome, Ga., at what was effectively his first campaign rally of the general election, former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday blasted President Biden’s State of the Union address as an “angry, dark, hate-filled rant” that was more divisive than unifying.
"He then mocked Mr. Biden’s lifelong stutter, a jab that set the tone for his lengthy speech that followed.
"Over nearly two hours, Mr. Trump lobbed sharp personal attacks at Mr. Biden’s mental and physical health and revived a litany of grievances against political opponents, prosecutors and television executives. He used inflammatory language to stoke fears about immigration, called the press “criminals” and repeated his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
"Mr. Trump told thousands of his supporters gathered at the rally that “everything Joe Biden touches” turns to filth, though he used an expletive to describe the result. “Everything. I tried finding a different word, but there are some words that cannot be duplicated.” (He used the word, or a variant, at least four times in his speech.)
"The speech that Mr. Trump gave on Saturday was his first since Mr. Biden repeatedly attacked him and his policies in his State of the Union address. “Joe Biden should not be shouting angrily at America,” Mr. Trump said. “America should be shouting angrily at Joe Biden.”
I apologize for the paste folks, but I wasn't in Rome, GA and this account sounds EXACTLY like former POTUS Trump to me!
Thankfully, at least the reporter was prescient enough to let 'filth' surrogate for the 's-word'
