Of course that was pure speech-writer rhetoric. He'll never do that. He's all about revenge, retribution, and whatever is good for him and his billionaire cronies.

I have already commented repeatedly on his "fountain of toxicity". I have done that this morning on the house divided thread referencing his comments towards McCain and the other gold star family.
Nixon was a fountain of toxicity when he ran with Eisenhower. Haldeman said that politics is always about dividing people into groups through this kind of rhetoric.
My point is that as a representative of the US you should be happy that people are employed. They sat there sour faced until they realized they were part of those with jobs, then they are jumping up and down, motioning to "look at me". Immature and childish.
Anyone, particularly women concerned with women's rights should applaud when 300 women that were destined to be sold as sex slaves were freed and 1500 people involved in that traffic were arrested, convicted, and imprisoned. That is something the US did, not Trump.
Anyone concerned with the bias in the justice system arresting minorities at a higher rate than would be expected should be happy about laws that are rectifying that imbalance. Why are these same people sitting there all sour faced? If you voted for this legislation, if you were involved in its passing, if you support it, then why not applaud?
