Gosh Maybe Trump Did Write His Own Inaugural Speech - No Professional Writer Could Have Come Up With this Drivel

How Bad Was It - Even George Will Was Nauseated

Because most times someone else can say things better than we can, here is part of George Will's column on Donnie's first speech as President.  The really bad news, this may be the best he can do.


A most dreadful inaugural address

By George F. Will January 20 at 3:50 PM

Twenty minutes into his presidency, Donald Trump, who is always claiming to have made, or to be about to make, astonishing history, had done so. Living down to expectations, he had delivered the most dreadful inaugural address in history.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s White House counselor, had promised that the speech would be “elegant.” This is not the adjective that came to mind as he described “American carnage.” That was a phrase the likes of which has never hitherto been spoken at an inauguration.
Oblivious to the moment and the setting, the always remarkable Trump proved that something dystopian can be strangely exhilarating: In what should have been a civic liturgy serving national unity and confidence, he vindicated his severest critics by serving up reheated campaign rhetoric about “rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape” and an education system producing students “deprived of all knowledge.” Yes, all.

And look up any independent commentator and you will likely see the same thoughts. Oh God was it bad!

    He either wrote it the night before, or Bannon wrote it.

    Of course, the pro-Trump response to the criticism is to claim detractors must be against the speech because they support crime, bad schools, and political elites.
