Trump Speech a 'Tremendous Slap in the Face to Democrats'

$1:

President Donald Trump's inauguration speech was "tremendous" and sets the stage for him to "blow up the Democrat base" and prevent it from winning a national election "for a long time," says David Horowitz, author of the just-released bestseller, "Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America."

"It was tremendous and sharpens or underscores what the divide is really about," Horowitz said Friday to J.D. Hayworth on Newsmax TV's special live coverage of Trump's swearing in as the nation's 45th commander-in-chief.

"When it was the Obama years and the Democrats, it was always race, genders, classes, the powerless, the supposed 1 percent. With Trump he said when you have patriotism in your heart, there's no room for prejudice.

"What Trump celebrated was America, the American community and America with borders, which the Democrats hate. An America where you buy American, where you create American jobs. This is like waving a red flag at the Democrats."

Horowitz — a longtime liberal-turned-staunch conservative and founder of The David Horowitz Freedom Center, a right-leaning think-tank — said Bill and Hillary Clinton, who attended the ceremony, looked "like they were at a funeral."

"It's great that they came, but they certainly weren't happy and when they flashed on [former President Barack] Obama during Trump's inaugural address, he wasn't happy either. I don't blame him for that," he said.

"But this is a wonderful day where the country or a lot of the country comes together, not the 60 Democrats, representatives that chose not to attend or the mobs with their lunatic attacks on Trump, calling him a racist.

"Anybody who watched that speech would know that this is a very inclusive president and what he has in store for these Democrats is what he's going to do for the inner cities of America, which will blow up the Democrat base and make it impossible for them to win a national election for a long time."

Horowitz also criticized the media's coverage of Trump and how it will now be on the defensive.

"It's been so partisan [it] has lost all credibility and Trump, because he's so aggressive . . . [is] not taking it. When the press dishes it out he goes right back in their face. They're going to have to adjust to the new reality," he said.

"Identity politics is anti-America . . . Regardless of race, religion, or color, everybody is equal. What the Democrats have been doing for the last 30 years is putting race, gender, and color right back as categories of privilege so if you're the right color you get to the head of the line looking for a job or to get into a university.

"That's why, it's the symbolism of Trump's inaugural address. It's America, it's one community, we're judged on our merits, we are individuals. Individual freedom is being erased steadily, or was in America until this last election."

Horowitz, who is also publisher of Frontpage Mag, is unconcerned about Trump's continuous use of Twitter.

"It's his aggressiveness that's important. He's a fighter and that is transforming the Republican Party. He is the guy [who said] we're not going to take it anymore," Horowitz said.

"He went right in their face, just look at that inaugural address, which is really an indictment of everything that Obama's done without mentioning him by name or the policies … [It was] a tremendous slap in the face to the Democrats.

You guys fascinate me. Do you just kind of want to see something or not see it, so you blink twice and there it is or there it isn't.

If I could jump in your head and look at those pictures what would I see wonder? Are the crowds in those pictures I just posted really not there when you look at them?

What do you see instead of what's there, I wonder.

We could ask you the same question. We see the same pictures of the crowds on the Mall of Obama's inaugural crowds vs. Trumps and yet you think they're equal, or at the very least distorted to fit a predetermined narrative.

No one is denying there were sizeable crowd for Trump, we're just saying they pale in comparison to Obama's; especially when Trump goes around acting like there were over a million people when there demonstrably weren't.

I love that he thinks a ground view shot from the front of the event is more accurate than a far-off airial shot. The same guy who would happily point out the angled tricks played at Clinton "rallies".

Here's a time-lapse.



The hilarious denial and rewriting of this is hilarious. Trump's little information doctor. Sure hope you're compensated for shilling so hard, Fiddle.

Besides, we all know that Trump paid pretty much everybody that attended his inauguration.

Kellyanne Conway says Donald Trump’s team has ‘alternative facts.’ Which pretty much says it all.

If there is one video clip that describes the new reality for the political media — and for the truth — during the President Trump era, it is the one above.

It's a discussion about White House press secretary Sean Spicer, on his first full day in that job, having taken to the podium and made easily disproved claims about the size of Trump's inauguration crowd.

“Why put him out there for the very first time, in front of that podium, to utter a provable falsehood?” Chuck Todd asked Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president. “It's a small thing, but the first time he confronts the public, it's a falsehood?”

After some tense back and forth, Conway offered this:

Don't be so overly dramatic about it, Chuck. You're saying it's a falsehood, and they're giving — our press secretary, Sean Spicer, gave alternative facts to that. But the point really is —

At this point, a visibly exasperated Todd cut in. “Wait a minute. Alternative facts? Alternative facts? Four of the five facts he uttered . . . were just not true. Alternative facts are not facts; they're falsehoods.”

Day 1 of his administration and he starts it with a press conference to announce big obvious lie and attack the global press for not falling in line with it......and it's all about how many people came to his party. What a pathetic loser.

Only 1,459 more days of this go, folks!

"Are those alternative facts, Mr. President, that you did not have sex with your daughter?"

This isn't spin. Spin is selective truth telling and biased opinion.

This is outright fabrication and deliberate falsehood

Rule #1 for press relations is that you can obfuscate, you can misrepresent, you can shade the truth to a ridiculous degree, or play dumb and pretend not to know things you absolutely do know. But you can't peddle affirmative, provable falsehoods. And it's not because there's some code of honor among press secretaries, but because once you're a proven liar in public, you can't adequately serve your principal. Every principal needs a spokesman who has the ability, in a crunch, to tell the press something important and know that they'll be believed 100 percent, without reservation.

But like I said, this isn't about Spicer.

What's worrisome is that Spicer wouldn't have blown his credibility with the national press on Day 2 of the administration unless it was vitally important to Trump.

And if media reports about crowd size are so important to Trump that he'd push Spicer out there to lie for him, then it means that all the tinpot-dictator, authoritarian, characterological tics that people worried about during the campaign are still very much active.

You know who obsessed about crowd size? Fidel Castro. You know who did not? George Washington, John Adams, Andrew Jackson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, and every other man to ever serve as president of these United States of America.

If you want to support the Trump agenda, that's fine. Worth doing, even. But never lose sight of the degree to which Trumpism corrupts.

Trump voters were 26% of the vote, as was Clintons, 48% non-voters, so it's more 1/4th than 1/3rd
