39. An import aspect of his speech is just as important.
Tue Feb 6, 2018, 02:20 PM
Feb 2018

Also being a veteran, I am in total agreement with Rep. Duckworth. It appears that he is obsessed with his personal approval to the point of demanding adoration. He is as ridiculous as the North Koreans who punished people who don't show ridiculous admiration for the dictator. Aside from the personal aspects, I am very concerned that he uses the bully pulpit of the presidency to attack Democrats as not being real Americans. This has been a important aspect of the Republican Party's vicious attack on Democrats they have been pursuing for the last forty years. They classifying anyone who apposes their fascist policies as being immoral anti-Christian bigots. They portray rural God-fearing Americans as real Americans and the liberal educated class as the enemy. They regard ignorance as a God given gift. Its Orwellian, ignorance is enlightenment, Republicans good, Democrats evil.
