After last night's little farce at the Lincoln Memorial . . . .

Last edited Tue May 5, 2020, 07:16 AM - Edit history (4)

Two score months ago, Donald Trump brought forth on this continent, a whole new nation, a tremendous nation, huge, conceived in venality, and dedicated to the proposition that some men are way, way more equal than others.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing (minimally and sporadically, because we’re not shipping clerks) whether that nation, or any nation so misconceived and so dedicated can deal with reality. We are met on a great social media platform of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that platform as a final resting place for those who here gave their professional reputations and careers that I might be reelected. I guess it’s fitting and proper that we should do this, but no, I don’t take responsibility at all.

But in a larger sense, we cannot decimate, we cannot concrete, we cannot Halloween these retweets and poll numbers. The world will little note, nor long remember whatever it was that Concast and Loser Sleepy Joe claim I said two or three months ago - that this would go away like a miracle - but it can never forget what I am saying right now. It is for us, who weren’t a bunch of losers who got sick from a Chinese bioweapon like a lot of people are saying, to reopen the Greatest Economy In History. It might work, it might not - what do you have to lose?

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated to getting lots of Great Rallies, Liberating Michigan and restoring your 2nd Amendment rights, because when you’re a star they let you do it, and they say “Sir”, with tears in their eyes providing the last full measurement of devotion, like Frederick Douglass, who’s done an amazing job.

Anyway, this nation – and by the way, we’re saying “Merry Christmas” again – shall have a new birth of Covfefe, so that Keep America Great of the people who voted for me, by the people who voted for me, for the people who voted for me shall Keep America Great.
