Trump Riding High at this
Moment in History
Trump's reaction to the very
successful and motivating DNC convention that just ended in Philly highlights.
The DNC National Convention
in Philadelphia week was a massive success – political experts on both sides of
the aisle have agreed on that. Disaffected Republicans have even openly
expressed their jealousy of a convention that painted a hopeful,
optimistic picture of America’s future, instead of the hell-scape that Trump
and company have tried to portray America as during their gatherings and such. That
convention also took in a whopping 17 million more total viewers than the RNC’s
show in Cleveland the week before.
These things bothered the
thin-skinned Trump so much that he actually distanced himself from his own
convention, saying in part just recently: “I didn’t produce our show — I just
showed up for the final speech on Thursday.” Wow – and ouch – talk about being
disloyal.
There has been plenty
of reporting to contradict Trump’s claim that he was hands-off with
his convention, but he gets the benefit of the doubt on this one key gaff. But,
this year’s DNC was so effective that it would’ve been hard to top in any
scenario and most rational folks agree.
But that’s not nearly the end
of Trump’s post-DNC meltdown. A bit more:
About Hillary Clinton’s
historic and well-received acceptance speech last night, wherein she
said: “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear
weapons.” He retorted via tweet as expected:
He whined about Clinton’s
address and the positive media coverage that followed. He also went hard after
former NY City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who called Trump a “dangerous
demagogue” in his speech at the DNC. Trump referred to the former mayor as
“little,” recycling a line he used on former GOP rival Marco Rubio, saying in
Iowa that night later on that, “I wanted
to hit a couple of those (DNC) speakers so hard, it would make their heads
spin. Especially the little guy.”
That childish outburst
continued when he spoke in Colorado when he said, “After watching that
performance last night, such lies, I don’t have to be so nice anymore. I’m taking
the gloves off. I’m not going to be Mr. Nice Guy.”
This qualifies as the 2016
academy for the “Joke of the Year.” The envelope please. The winner, hands
down, is Donald J. Trump.
Thanks for stopping by.
