DT at Gettysburg — Not tremendous and certainly not the best.

The Donnie’s 100 Days speech at Gettysburg began 55 minutes late. Rudy Giuliani blamed it on the weather, although the press plane had no trouble landing.

FDR it was not.

Coming across as a combination of Pat Buchanan, Father Charles Coughlin, Lonesome Rhodes and Theodore Bilbo, Trump got rolling early with further blather about rigged elections, repeating the claim that the votes of 1.8 million dead people still on the registration rolls are being counted. And there was this:

“Either we win this election or we lose the country. And believe me, this is the last time we are going to have a chance to win. This is it, folks. This is it.”

And this:

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," Trump said during remarks in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. "Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."

At Gettysburg, Donald Trump just said all who have accused him of sexual assault will be sued.

He totally plagiarized that from Lincoln.

Am I wrong, or is Trump threatening that as president, he would use his power to go after media companies?

This "first 100 days" speech is just the Breitbart homepage, in case you want to follow along

Eventually, he got around to talking about his legislative initiative for the first 100 days, all of which we’ve heard before. He’s going to spend more money, cut taxes, stop companies from taking their operations overseas, impose tariffs, pay down the debt (from $19 trillion to $0 in eight years), build a wall and make Mexico reimburse us for it, kill two federal regulations for every new one passed, deport undocumented workers, rebuild the military, repeal and replace Obamacare (with medical savings accounts that already exist) and it’s all going to be tremendous, the best, phenomenal.

In his dreams, of course. Because on January 20, 2017, he’s going to be sitting in a bar with his gang of red-hats watching the inauguration and bellyaching over how his birthright to the presidency was stolen by a girl. Once Trump TV gets rolling, he’ll be doing that for a lot more than 100 days, at least until he files bankruptcy and stiffs all the suckers who invest in it.
