The Trump Rally: "We are taking back our country."

It came down to this: 

White People built this country. We are proud of it. We own it.  I won't let you be displaced.

It was the Trump schtick, ninety minutes of free association, moving from topic to topic, spoken with animation and energy. 

It had an underlying message: we good people are under attack. We are lied to by the media and in danger of being destroyed by crazy liberals who will let foreigners and criminals to take our country away from us. 

But he won't let them.

The speech ended with a summation that imagined an American history of White people and culture achieving greatness, the happy whitewashed American greatness story I recall from elementary school in the 1950s. It is a country with an untroubled history of achievement by our great European founders, one without Indians, without Chinese, Japanese, or Latin American immigrants, without labor problems, without need for allies, and with the problem of Black slavery solved long ago.

The audience was almost entirely White. The message was that the country was slipping away from people like them, and Trump would restore his people to their place of greatness.

He finished this way:

    "We believe children should be taught to love our country, to honor our history and always salute our great American flag. We stand on the shoulders of American heroes, who crossed the ocean, blazed the trails, settled the continent, tamed the wilderness, dug out the Panama Canal, laid down the railroads, revolutionized industries, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism and made America the single greatest nation in the history of the the world.  And we are making it greater and greater every single day.  

Proud Citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you the American people."



Below is a live, real time description of his talk. I listened and typed. I wanted a primary source experience, so I  watched it on Fox News. This post is long, written in real time, with paragraphs for each time he switches subjects, which would happen sometimes in the middle of a sentence.

Trump:

You are warriors.

You are the silent majority, you want Law and Order.

We will beat Sleepy Joe.

We will have 350 new judges by the end of my term, the best ever in history.

There were bad, sadistic people in the VA. I got them out. We say "you're fired"  I got it done.

We got fair trade deals.

I got a great tax bill passed. 

Democrats want to raise your taxes.

We got regulation cuts, more than any other president.

You wonderful energy workers, here in Oklahoma. We are energy independent because of me..

Joe Biden gets the states he is in wrong. He confuses Iowa for Idaho. I never, ever forget where I am.

I called Russia and Saudi Arabia, and even Mexico. I got energy prices up to $40 a barrel, which is huge for the energy economy.

Imagine AOC in charge of energy in America. It would be socialists in charge of energy.

Fake News CNN. Standing in front of a fire, saying, "no problem, Anderson."

Minnesota, I got the to get the National Guard involved. That solved the problem.

Seattle, what a mess. I didn't rush in. Let it simmer. Left wing radicles burn down buildings, and the radical fake news says "how beautiful."

The looters, the radicals. 

Covid. The name doesn't say China. China.

"I saved hundreds of thousands a of lives, we get hardly get a mention"

Testing. We've tested 20 million people. We got tests.  A ten year old gets the sniffles, he will be ok in ten minutes, they claim he has the virus. If you test, you run up the numbers of people who test positive. 

The unhinged left wing mob, wants to desecrate our heritage. The want absolute and total control. Theirs is a cruel campaign of oppression, the want to defund our police departments. Defund them. Really, they aren't kidding. You call 911. The radical left wants them to say "sorry that number is no longer working." They are so crazy.

You are so lucky I am President. That's all I can say.

People ask how I can take it, all the abuse.  What choice do I have?

This disease has 19 different names. Kung Flu?

West Point. I gave commencement speech. It just goes to show you how bad the fake news is.  After an hour meeting people, doing inspections, after an hour, then we walk maybe three blocks, then I talk for an hour. Then I salute 600 times. 600!  I was on the stage for hours.  I don't get a tan, I sunburn, the sun on me for hours. They will say I am a liar, the fake news.  I salute 600 times, like this. finish the final salute. Time to go. Sir, are you ready?  I was there from early in the morning.  (Trump displays how he walked down the ramp.) I am wearing leather bottom shoes. They are good for flat but this is a steel ramp. Slick. The general has rubber soled shoes. I did not want to grab him to go down a steep ramp, but was ready to. "I can't fall with the fake news watching." 

I remember how another president fell, and how another threw up. I knew how the fake news would treat this if I fell. The general had rubber shoes. I didn't like the picture of me falling. I am sure it would be in an ad. The fake news, the dishonest fake news cut off the part where I ran down the last ten feet.  

I called the First Lady. She said you are trending number one. They say you may have Parkinson's disease.  

I will tell you if I had something wrong. Biden has something wrong with him. 

I didn't want to spill water on my tie drinking water. It's a silk tie. Expensive. I didn't want a water stain, ruins the tie. (Trump drank a sip of water, showing he can drink with one hand.) 

I have lived with the ramp and the water, but no one asked about the speech.  It's so unfair. The fake news are the most dishonest people on earth.

The left wing anarchists tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson. Two days ago leftist radicals tore flown a statue of George Washington.  Democrats, all are Democrat's.  

We should have a new law, burn the American flag, you go to jail for one year.  It's desecration. Burn the flag, go to jail. 

Radicals took over six blocks in Seattle. Anarchists. Let me in there and in less than an hour you'll have your city back.

Biden is in his basement. He has absolutely no control over the radicals in his party.  Biden puts out things, written by English lit people, not him. He has no idea what is being done in his name.

Your 401k is back up. If we don't do something stupid on Nov 3, next year will be great

"Joe Biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left." 

We will never submit to those radicals.

Boeing wanted too much for a new Air Force One, actually two planes. Six billion. I negotiated. Boeing said no way. Boeing was riding high. Boeing messed up but is coming back.They wanted 5.6 billion. I said the price has to begin with a 3. Cancellation fee of 250 million. They came back with five billion. "It's got to have a three, you dumb son of a bitch." (Crowd roars in approval.)  I saved the country a billion six, a billion seven.  No one wants to talk about it.

Germany. I say get our troops down from 50 thousand to 25 thousand. I say, Angela, people forget about all the money you didn't pay for the past 25 years. Germany pays billions to Russia for oil, and we spend billions to protect Germany from Russia.  We are being ripped off. I stopped it.

The radical left mayor in DC, it's not going to be good for him. The protesters wanted to go to the Jefferson Memorial to vandalize it.

Do you want to bow to the radical left? We will never kneel to the national anthem we will stand tall. I didn't like what Roger Goodell did.

Joe Biden and the radical left want to prosecute you for going to church, but not for burning a church.  

They want to open the borders. They want to crush ICE. They confront tough MS13 gangs,  people with tattoos on their necks. rapists, murderers, the worst people on earth. They killed two women,  cut them up with a knife.  I called them animals, Nancy Pelosi said I shouldn't call them animals.

In Joe Biden's America rioters and looters have more rights than American citizens. 

The rioting we see will get worse. Joe Biden's record is four decades of betrayal. Biden supported every globalist attack on America. He supported NAFTA. China's entry into the World Trade Organization was the worst thing for America. 

He supported the Iraq war. He wants to give free health care to illegal aliens. Joe Biden sided with China rather America when I closed the border to Chins.

When the chips are down Biden will let you down, he will cave to the radical left. Joe Biden opposed killing Osama Bin Laden.  Biden is on the wrong side of every decision.

China wants Biden to win. Iran's wants him to win. Iran wants a deal right now but my terms are too high for them so they want Biden to win.

Biden's son was paid 83 thousand a month for nothing.  

You use a term that isn't perfect, they call you a racist. 

Democrats want to subsidize late term abortion and killing newborns. 

Take away your guns for certain, Beto O'Rourke wants to take your guns.  

They will ban fracking.

They want to nominate judges who will obliterate your constitution. Biden will stack the court with liberals.

You are the elite. They aren't the elite, You are the elite. I am nicer looking, have nicer houses, nicer properties, and I am better than those elites, and I won the presidency in my only run for office. We will be two for two in elections, and it will be a great country

Biden's judges will be extreme radicals.

"Biden is fully controlled by the fringe of his party. He doesn't even know where he is."  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is actually in charge of energy policy. She has no sense, no credentials. She has a little charisma, just a little, but that's all she has.

Ihlan Omar will be very involved in a Biden government. He will put an America-hating person in charge off America. "Biden is a very willing Trojan horse for socislism."

Joe Biden is a shameless hypocrite, gave eulogies for segregationists. He praises segregationists. He hollowed out our middle class. Those cages were built by Obama and Biden. They send young boys to fight in Iraq.  "Our country will be destroyed" If Biden is elected.

I've done more for black Americans in four years than Biden has done in 47 Years.

Here are great Senators Inhofe and Tom Cotton. Plus Oklahoma Governor. Congress members.

We built the best economy in the history of the world. The best employment and stock market numbers in the history of the world.  Last week the employment numbers came in. The best numbers in the history of the world. 

"The virus that should have been stopped where it began, China."  

We are going to have a phenomenal economy. It will be the best ever. The stock market will be the best. The past 50 days have been the best in the history. in the stock market. Democrats want the stock market to go down, even if it costs them money. 

Now it's time for America to get back to work. 

I restored money for historically black colleges. The economy has raised employment for the black community. 

Democrats are stoking division. Democrats would rather deny children the education they deserve in charter schools, independent schools, etc. Twenty of twenty cities with the highest murder rates are run by a Democrats. The Democrars push against police. As President I will always support the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

There is no limit to what we can achieve with four more years.

We will protect Social Security and Medicare.  

We will protect preexisting conditions. We built miles of wall. Anyone who doesn't want a wall to protect against a rough area has something wrong with them

"Made in USA": wonderful words.

We will keep America out of stupid foreign wars. We have captured 100% if the ISIS califate. 

When I took over health care was a mess. Empty shelves. 

We will be the first country to put a man on Mars.

"When you see lunatics all over the streets It's damn nice to have arms.. . .  Now people understand it."

"We believe in the dignity of work and the sanctity of life."  

"We believe children should be taught To love our country, to honor our history and always salute our great American flag."

"We stand on the shoulders of American heroes, who crossed the ocean, blazed the trails, settled the continent, Tamed the wilderness, dug out the Panama Canal laid down the railroads, revolutionized industries, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism and made America the single greatest nation in the history of the the world.  And we are making it greater and greater every single day. Proud citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you the American people."
