Ivanka Trump proudly proclaimed "Washington didn't change Donald Trump. Donald Trump changed Washington." The fact that Washington did not change Donald Trump is probably the single greatest tragedy of the Trump administration. In a country torn apart by racial strife, 4% of the world's population and 20% of a pandemic's fatalities, Donald Trump has not changed. He has learned nothing.
To me, the heart of Trump's message last night came in one of his unscripted asides. As the first President to ever turn the White House into the backdrop for a nomination acceptance speech, he turned and pointed to his residence.
What's the name of that building?, he asked.
The fact is that we're here, and they're not. Making America Great Again. Nyah, nyah.
In his 1968 GOP acceptance speech, Richard Nixon promised to "Bring us together". But you can't bring us together if half of the country is the demonized "other".

"So, Craig, what will you remember most about Donald Trump's #RepublicanNationalConvention speech?"

Please. Somebody tell me. What was that sh-it about civil unrest and Biden's America about? This is all happening on Trump's watch in real time.
This is Trump's America.
WTF?

The Democrats are in charge of most of these cities and have been for nearly a 70 years. Most also have Democrat governors. Trump offered federal help from the National Guard. The liberal governors and mayors refused.

Hmph. I was wondering how the morons were rationalizing this. I mean, I knew it would be with lies, because that's all you have, but I was curious what BS you'd go with in this case.
So, Trump is an awesome leader, but he can't persuade the liberal governors and mayors to calm the riots?
LOL... idiots are funny.

He shouldn't have to. Due process shouldn't be controversial either. You can't just send a lynch mob out to arrest policeman based on a snippet of footage. You have to do an investigation first.
