On Thursday, reports came in that Donald Trump Jr. has his junior “panties in a twist.” He thinks thinks President Obama took a line from his RNC speech.
Donald Trump Jr. suggested Thursday that Barack Obama's speech in Philadelphia Wednesday night lifted a line from his Republican National Convention remarks, pointing out that both addresses contained the line "That's not the America I know."
Of course, this is a bad attempt at trying to retaliate against last week’s story about Melania Trump, the wife of GOP nominee Donald Trump. While speaking on her husband’s behalf at the RNC, Melania stole lifted HUGE portions from First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech when Michelle spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The difference here is the referenced line “Junior” is whining about is apparently one that President Obama has often used before and has also been used by past presidents. Hell, I’ve used the line before. This is so ridiculous, that it’s almost not worthy of writing up and giving them press, but then I thought — but Americans need to see just how preposterous this Republican presumptive First Family can be.
Here's what Junior said last week in Cleveland.
“There's so much work to do. We will not accept the current state of our country because it's too hard to change. That's not the America I know. We're going to unleash the creative spirit and energy of all Americans. We're going to make our schools the best in the world for every single American of every single ethnicity and background.”
And here's what President Obama said in Philadelphia.
“What we heard in Cleveland last week wasn't particularly Republican and it sure wasn't conservative. What we heard was a deeply pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other and turn away from the rest of the world. There were no serious solutions to pressing problems, just the fanning of resentment and blame and anger and hate. And that is not the America I know. The America I know is full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity. The America I know is decent and generous.”
Enough said. Enough written. But we can be sure many Republicans will obsess and take this story out of context. Oh, those kids. Go to your room, Junior!
