A Night in Dallas
After a night of endless boredom in Westerville, Ohio from twelve lackluster democratic candidates, the President arrived in Dallas, Texas to speak before another packed stadium. The President, despite a long day of executive duties (including a tour of a new Louis Vuitton leather workshop in north central Texas and a fundraiser in Fort Worth) was full of energy and there was the usual chemistry with the lively crowd.
Response to democrats
The President first spoke of the democrats plot to impeach him & deliver a fatal political wound to his re-election bid: “These people are crazy. They have absolutely no respect for the will of the American people. First it was the Russia hoax. Then it was the smearing of a fine man, Justice Kavanaugh. Now they continue the outrageous impeachment witch hunt. They come after me, but what they are really doing is coming after the Republican Party.”
He issued another Trumpism when he said that democrats have been trying for three years to undo what Trump called "The greatest election in history."
He reminded people to vote
Reasoning on Syria
He explained his decision to remove troops from Syria, as he already had before by stating that he wanted to free up the military from the burden of endless wars. He revealed a bit of the long history between the Turks and the Kurds (both US allies) and how difficult it was to keep them from waging war on each other. He lamented “sometimes you have to let them fight like two kids. Then you pull them apart.”
The Economy
We all heard the usual description of the solid state of the economy. Normally an incumbent president wouldn't have to constantly remind people, but this President has been dogged by an adversarial media which never concedes to the current level of prosperity, which has benefited all groups. The media will only focus on their "imminent recession narrative." We also heard of the effort to lower drug prices and correct long standing trade imbalances.
The Border
Always a special topic is the key campaign promise of 2016 - the securing of the southern border and preserving American sovereignty. We were reminded of the fierce resistance the President faced via liberal judges, activist groups, the media, progressive governors and House democrats when it came to securing the southern border. It was good to hear him talk of the wall again and how, despite all the obstruction, he managed to take money from "here and there" to get some wall built. There is a man determined to keep his promises.
Dignitaries
As is now the custom, Trump introduced important state dignitaries. In attendance were some of Texas most influential elected officials, including Senators Cruz and Cornyn, state representatives, the Lt Governor, former Gov Rick Perry and GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. Trump had some fun with Sen Ted Cruz by fondly reminiscing about their primary battles during the 2016 campaign. He praised Cruz's debating skills and noted how weak the current democratic field is - advising Cruz to run as a democrat and score an easy win. Ted just waved his arms (no way!).
I don't blame you Ted. It's one thing I'll never be - a democrat.
Estimated crowd - 20,000
Not counting those outside
Time of speech - 87 minutes

A great night had by all in the heart of Trump country.
At lease the Chinese company that makes MAGA hats made a profit.
The hats are produced by a California-based company called Cali-Fame .
A friend of mine has one and the tag inside of it says MADE IN CHINA.
Well shocker here, it is a knock off. All Maga campaign hats are made in the U.S.A.
Good report from la la land Vic.
The majority of Americans want to see this pos removed from office, and after yesterday that figure will undoubtedly rise, but you present the minority report with dutiful sincerity.
You should apply for a position at Fox News, or one of Trump's other propaganda outlets. Hell, once he notices you he might make you ambassador to Ukraine.
I take it "la la land" is anyplace outside of DC, CA or NY?
The majority of Americans want to see this pos removed from office
You better hope they are more spread out than last time
and after yesterday that figure will undoubtedly rise
Yesterday? You mean when Mulvaney said the President wanted to fight corruption in the Ukraine? Isn't that what Schiff leaked in an amended form?
Hell, once he notices you he might make you ambassador to Ukraine.
I only want John Durham's job. Just make me a US Attorney in charge of investigating & PROSECUTING all the deep state officials!
The 'deep state' is your psychological mechanism for defending and perpetrating Trumps personal, moral, ethical and intellectual failures. Where is the Mccabe indictment Vic, that you told everyone was days , if not hours away? When was that? a month ago? six weeks? McCabe and Comey are really shaking in their boots. They both regularly come on tv and appear to not have a legal care in the world.
Unfortunately for Durham, who may for all we know be a good man, anything he comes up with now, if he ever does, which is doubtful, will be tainted by the stench of his appointment by Barr, who is tainted by the stench of his slavish devotion to Trumpism.
Awe, John, have the same patience you had for the Mueller Report. Remember when you and others told us how long these things take?
LOL. Trump wants to fight corruption in Ukraine? He doesnt even want to fight corruption within his own administration, or within his own company and family. Or within himself. He might be the last person on the face of the earth who anyone in their right mind would associate with fighting corruption.
What corruption in Ukraine did Trump threaten to withhold aid over, other than his nutty ass conspiracy theory about the DNC server, and over his 2020 election rival Joe Biden? What other corruption Vic?
Trump doesnt care about corruption in Ukraine, he's a walking corruption factory himself. Thats like saying Al Capone wanted to rid the Chicago streets of gangland shootings. lol.
He never threatened to withhold aid!
What other corruption Vic?
There is plenty for all. I'll list two:
1) Burisma Holdings
2) The Manafort dirt
Ukraine focus isn't about 2020 election assistance, as some democrats keep claiming, but the 2016 election assistance they already gave ... to Hillary Clinton.
Hmmm. They say 1/3 supported Trump and those numbers are falling quickly to which you've got to trust many are not really the Maga [[deleted]] he so desperately tries to sustain with his dumbfounded lies and rhetorical hate speech.
He screams like the melting snowflake he is cuz he knows his shitshow is over.
I have been saying on this forum for 4 or 5 years that a day of reckoning would come for all those who stand with trump. He is not fit for office , that is 1000% obvious, and that makes those who continue to stand with him dishonest with themselves or the same type of moral and ethical disaster he is.
I have taken a LOT of grief on this forum for criticizing trump supporters from the beginning. A lot. It has essentially ruined my friendship with someone here. I get called names here just about every day. I get over moderated. But I dont regret it and now more and more people, not only on Newstalkers, but everywhere, are coming to that conclusion.
This morning Joe Scarborough said that the people at Trump's rally last night need to educate themselves about reality and stop looking stupid.
As someone famously said during the 2016 election - "If all those people showing up at rallies vote, Trump wins!"
John, you are on the wrong side of history!
But, but, he's a moderate and an independent. He's not a left winger. Moderates are what we are supposed to aspire to.
Uh, no. Trump and Trumpism will be seen by history as an aberrational disaster for the United States of America. Prepare yourself for the shock of seeing him rated by future historians as the worst president of all time. It is a sure thing.
LMAO....Even you can't be saying that with a straight face. Trump insulted him and his immoral lover and Scarborough has been like an attack dog ever since!
I think you better prepare - for the coming election and it's many consequences for the democratic party. Stay tuned John. There are many surprises on the way and you aren't going to like any one of them!
If scum like trump wins America is over.
To the contrary: If the scum on the left win America is over!
The ones who can't hide behind computer screens are beginning to speak out. Can't judge by what the blind ideologues, bots, trolls and ignorant people say at this point, they are going to be pissing in the wind soon.
You have been a stalworth of education and justice here. I think we've all lost former friends and family over this insanity. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Their idea we are in some sort of deep state says everything we need to know about them. Alex Jones conspiracy theorists have eaten this hook, line and sinker. They can't even be honest with themselves.
Many here, me included-- very much appreciate your fight for truth and justice. Thank you for your dedication. Keep up the good work! Don't ever let them bring you down. You know right from wrong as most have good moral compasses and great built -in bullshit detectors otherwise he'd have much more support than 1/3. When it looks like a duck, it is a duck. Our scouts will right this train wreck. Meanwhile, it is our duty to help combat their lies and distortions.
As to moderating fairness, it is sometimes head scratching, to say the least. I'm appalled at what some get away with. Especially those threatening violence and calling for civil war. I've thought about just going away permanently as their lack of critical thinking gets so very old but I guess I'm just not fed up enough yet as I find myself here more than I have time for.
All we can do is try to push through this travesty and try to come out on the other side with our self-respect intact. A LOT of people are in trouble in that score.
At least half the population is not impressed by his "accomplishments". His accomplishments relate to a right wing or conservative viewpoint.
For someone to say "Trump is cool because he is doing what I want to see happen" is a minority viewpoint.
But even that is not the point. He's unfit for office. He is a serial liar, a crook, a bigot, and a moron. The president of the United States has to be more than that, better than that.
There are other Republicans that can lower taxes, believe me.
This "only Trump can do bla bla bla" argument is horse shit.
FRENCH REPORTER: “You have a very low unemployment rate in the U.S. & we have a very high unemployment rate in France. — How come?”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well... maybe we have a better President than you do.”
TWO nights in Dallas that I will never forget. The first one was at the Traildust, the second was in the audience to hear Ann Richards speak. Boy, would SHE have been a POTUS.
