Four years ago, at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Donald Trump portrayed a United States plagued by violence and economic ruin. After taking this step, and in one of its maximum messianic moments, he declared that the crime would end and that only he can rid the country of these ruinous calamities: “I alone can.
In fact, in the last three and a half years, he has given us as many things as he has given us.
When Trump spoke in 2016, the unemployment rate was below 5%. Today it’s 10.2%. When he spoke in 2016, the country had just gone through a concern for Ebola, which Obama’s leadership had dealt with with a wonderful skill and very few loss of life. Today, more than 180,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, the highest death toll in any country, and a much higher number than would have been under more competent control in Washington. When he spoke in 2016, the crime rate was low. Today, it’s still low. But Trump intends to use the riots in some cities to paint an image of rampant anarchy, saying that “no one will be safe” in Joe Biden’s America and that Democrats would “demolish” the suburbs.
While on his way to the South Lawn platform Thursday night, after plans to deliver his settlement in Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida, failed due to the pandemic, to settle for the GOP nomination for a moment, Trump’s words of maximum guilt. you may have just said: I’m sorry.
Unfortunately, I had no luck. Instead, Trump, inappropriately employing the White House as a backdrop for political discourse, and in front of a commonly maskless crowd that wasn’t socially estranged, uttered an apathetic, scathing narrative that may have been titled: I’m still the only one who can fix it.
As an exercise in logic, it’s the equivalent of a quad axis, something like: You have to vote for me to fix the disorders I’ve created or aggravated.
Trump will have to watch the ballot screen that many voters he wants to reach, adding some within his own party, are tired of his incendiary rhetoric. But he also knows that if elections are strictly reduced to a referendum in his first term, he loses.
To that end, he tried in his speech to make the choice a selection between two competing philosophies and present his opponent, Joe Biden, as a terrifying risk to society. “This election,” Trump said, “will be whether we save the American dream or allow a socialist program to destroy our beloved destiny.”
Trump spent much of his first term announcing that the sun is rising in the West and that water is flowing uphill. On Thursday, he even ridiculously claimed to have “done more for the African-American network than any Abraham Lincoln presidency.” However, his 70-minute speech, objected to the facts, was a long time for law enforcement and lacked references to the incidents of police brutality that led to recent protests.
Even Trump realizes that Biden cannot be called an exorbitant-eyed leftist, so the president tried to argue that the Democratic presidential nominee would be a puppet of progressives. However, as progressive Democrats know, Biden played a key role in some of the ill-conceived crime-fighting laws of the 1990s and supported the Iraq war. His program, on the other hand, can hardly be described as radical, even if it has ve moved to the left in recent years.
His top standout feature is an aspiration for the global that existed before Trump tried to fix everything.
