White House is considering a Trump speech to the nation on race and unity
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
It's horrifying to think of how insanely more effective he could be at pushing his shit heel lunatic agenda, with every single republican lock step behind him always, if he would just shut the fuck up. The biggest thing we have protecting us from things being even worse, is the fact that he is a child who can't stop putting his own ass in his face.
It's all gonna be bullshit anyways. No way would Trump would close to delivering this, as with any speech of his involving domestic issues. May as well stay in your bunker, Racist, Bunker Baby lol!
There's also a decent chance he says he understands exactly what black Americans go through being treated poorly by law enforcement because of how the FBI falsely arrested Michael Flynn, the go on for 5 to 10 minutes about how unfairly he's been treated.
Likely followed up by either actually saying the n-word or saying it would be a great display of racial unity if he and other white people were allowed to say it.
He's doing it solely to appeal to "moderate" Republicans (your Murkowski's, Collins's, Sasse's of the world) so that they can go out and say "hey, he's trying his best to bring this country together." And maybe try to win back those independent voters who are turning on him in droves.
What he wants is a few headlines (that I'm sure CNN and the NYT will happily provide) saying "TRUMP URGES UNITY AND PEACE"

The BLACKS they love me. All colored people love me. They say "Donald, you are so good to the economy. You are taking us out of poverty". They say Wow you are so tremendous against GYNA.
Can't wait to see the his annoyed face like last time he had to do one of these scripted speeches.
I had CNN on as background noise while cleaning up. So I preface this may not be an entirely accurate interpretation.
One of their WH reporters claimed this is essentially going to encompass some sort of divide and conquer, self congratulating component.
He sees defunding the police as a losing argument and the lack of violence yesterday as proof of concept of his "Law and Order" posturing using fascistIc threats of military force. Has been tweeting all day about it and his advisors see it as a winning strategy out of this and to reclaim the conversation.
Essentially it will likely incorporate some level of messaging along those lines to go with what I presume will be scripted but empty platitudes toward racial injustice.
So, essentially, about what you would expect in a Trump speech. Give empty rhetoric while mostly playing to his base and gaslighting the situation to try and peel off low information moderates.

Well, Presidents usually address the nations during times of turmoil. Trump botched it. Even his advisors felt the law and order approach was misguided. Then the Christian Right chastised his church photo-op, one of his strongest bases.
Additionally, I think Trump seriously thought the protest would remain overwhelming violent in terms of looters and bad actors (ANTIFA lol). That did not happen.
The protests were overwhelmingly peaceful after the initial powderkeg of riots in the beginning (this is normal but the powers that be use it discredit any major protests). And thanks to smartphones the general public saw cops assault peaceful proteserst in an almost uniform fashion across the US.
So, his law and order gamble failed and he's polling terribly.
He's actually complaining on Twitter right now about his poll numbers.
He was shouting law and order on Twitter yesterday like he was hoping for more violence to justify his stance. He sucks.
It'll be all fluff and bullshit, barely coherent, and I'm sure he'll go off script as he always does and get a both sides/antifa/whattabout blue lives in there.
Within 24 hours he'll be back to Twitter showing his true colors again when he gets his feelings hurt and watches faux news like the bunker bitch snowflake he is.

very bored slurred speech where he looks upset and pouty that he has to read off a teleprompter
some cnn guy tweets "this is a very different president trump than we've been seeing for the last two weeks. very composed"
24 hours later he starts a twitter feud with a minority news reporter in which he calls them "very nasty and ungrateful for what i've done for you people" or whatever

this exactly. those moderates republicans are a bit hot under the collar after seeing their president attack the American people for a photo-op but they'll gladly forget about it once given the right optics
He will go off script and start dog whistling and rambling barely coherent racist shit.
How many sentences in does he make it before quoting MLK? Bonus points if he actually compares himself to him.

I just can't imagine this guy saying anything worth while at this point but I believe it's coming bc silence would look even worse
Given his stellar performance so far, I'm morbidly curious as to how he'll manage to make the situation ten times worse.
He's going to say something along the lines of everyone's lives matter and we should all be equa - to go back home and let's get this economy back and running, aka dismissing BLM altogether and keeping the status quo. He's going to have that pained, squinting look on his face that he does whenever he's being disingenuine and performative, like his face when he said it's a good day for George Floyd.
I don't think anyone will seriously credit him for this. Even if he stumbles his way through a speech, and some dumb pundit says he sounded "presidential", 7 or 8 will shoot him down. Folks are just tired at this point.

On a day when Barr explicitly said systemic racism doesn't exist? I hope they have a speech just to see him get buried more.
The few uninformed fence sitters which will boost his approval rating maybe 2% points briefly.

He'll fuck it up.
His lowest point in approval polling came from his "there are good people on both sides" comment, in the context of talking about Nazis and not-Nazis. That was also a speech he delivered to try and ease tension after protests.

I mean didn't he tweet out someone that said Floyd was a bad person?
He is always selling a white nationalist agenda. How could anyone listen to him talk about race relations when he is a big factor in the breakdown in race relations?
I understand the historical role of a president to bring the nation together but if we are honest Trump is simply not capable of doing this.

He retweeted that human garbage Candace Owens. She posted a video saying George Floyd was not a good person. I won't watch the video, so I don't know the specifics.
A bit late now, but even if he did this two weeks ago, he'd have fucked it up. It seems like every time all he has to do is just read something or say something normal, he feels he has to go completely off script, or he comes up with a last minute idea that just makes him look like a complete idiot, like the photo-op.
LMAO.
He is like a toddler who's dressed up in a suit and told not to dirty his clothes. The minute he's done reading it he'll rip off his clothes and tweet racist shit.
Can't wait for the NYT headline:
"Trump strikes a sober tone on race"
Please do it. The people that hate him already hate him, this will only piss off remaining supporters.
Shit. I can't lie. I also can't watch her bullshit. I saw a headline and it was texted to me by a few people but I never clicked on it once.
She is a legit evil fucking person. And of course in America she gets airtime to express the same.
Stuff like that convinces me that there is something fundamentally wrong with a lot of Americans.
