Highlights (of the 15 minutes, probably 12 of it was about the dishonest press)
-Trump tries to gaslights the crowd by saying that the feud with the CIA was invented by the media (he doesn’t realize he is in a room full of people who know better)
-First, he must have packed the room with his staff and other supporters because there were laughs and applause lines in places I don’t think CIA agents would appreciate. The agents sitting in camera view show no reaction throughout his speech.
-It was a bit like a Vegas lounge act where a very bad act spends the whole show talking about how great he would be if only the press would stop lying about how bad his act is.
-He starts out my saying that “nobody,nobody” appreciates the CIA more than Donald Trump (yep, he referred to himself in the 3rd person)
-It started raining and then God stopped the rain when he was about to speak.
-The CIA will love him because we’ll start winning again. Isis, we should have won, now we will.
-The Press is terrible, disgusting dishonest people, except for the great reviews they gave his inaugural speech. (they didn’t) He says he doesn’t appreciate the press because he like honesty.
-More on the dishonest disgusting press who said he had a small crowd, when he could clearly see it was a million, million and a half. (We might not know the numbers because one of his first official acts was to shut down communications to the public by the Department of the Interior)
