After Assassination Attempt, Trump Rewrites Convention Speech from Hot Denunciation of Biden and Democrats to a Kinder, Gentler Call for Unity
My first thought when I read this was "Oh no, here it comes."
But I can see a big upside, too. Trump gave an interview to Byron York:He also said, "I'm supposed to be dead." Ben Domenech warns against Trump seeking a "false unity" with the left and the Uniparty.
TRUMP: 'I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE': Former President Donald Trump can't stop thinking about the way he moved his head in the split second before a gunman, intent on assassinating him, pulled the trigger during his speech in Pennsylvania Saturday evening... "The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount," Trump said Sunday afternoon in a talk aboard his Boeing 757 as he flew to Milwaukee for the start of the Republican National Convention. "If I only half-turn, it hits the back of the brain. The other way goes right through [the skull]. And because the sign was high, I'm looking up. The chances of my making a perfect turn are probably one-tenth of 1%, so I'm not supposed to be here." "I had to be at the exact right angle," Trump said at another point in the conversation, which included the New York Post's Michael Goodwin. "Because the thing was an eighth of an inch away. That I would turn exactly at that second, where he [the gunman] wouldn't stop the shot is pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. I'm really not supposed to be here." ... I said that watching the video, it appeared that after being shot, surrounded by agents shielding him from any further threat, Trump actually wanted to return to the microphone to continue speaking. Indeed he did. "I wanted to keep speaking -- I wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot," Trump said with a little laugh. "It's a very surreal experience, and you never know what you're going to do until a thing like that happens." It was obvious that Trump was still processing what had happened. Who wouldn't be? It is something that will stay with him for the rest of his life. At the moment, he is grappling with the feeling that something very big has changed in his life and in the presidential race. When I asked him, "Does this change your campaign?" he immediately answered, "Yes." Trump explained that before Saturday night, he had finished the speech he planned to give later this week at the Republican convention. "I basically had a speech that was an unbelievable rip-roarer," he said. "It was brutal -- really good, really tough. [Last night] I threw it out. I think it would be very bad if I got up and started going wild about how horrible everybody is and how corrupt and crooked, even if it's true. Had this not happened, we had a speech that was pretty well set that was extremely tough. Now, we have a speech that is more unifying." ... The idea is to reframe the intense conflicts Trump has engaged in during his years in national politics. "I've been fighting a group of people that I considered very bad people for a long time, and they've been fighting me, and we've put up a very good fight," Trump said. "We had a very tough speech, and I threw it out last night. I said I can't say these things after what I've been through." ... "I'd love to achieve unity if you could achieve unity, if that's possible," Trump said. "There are many good people on the other side. ... But there are also people who are very divided. Some people actually want open borders, and some people don't want open borders. The question is can those two sides get together? Can sides where you have people who want to see men play in women's sports and you have a side that doesn't understand even the concept of allowing that to happen [get together]?" Trump knows it's a long shot. "It has an impact," he said of the assassination attempt. "Now, maybe the impact will wear off if the other side gets nasty." It seems quite likely that that is exactly what will happen and the fighting will resume, even though both Trump and President Joe Biden are talking about unity.
I can understand why this would be the impulse -- the man came a millimeter away from dying in a field less than seventy-two hours ago. But in pursuing a "unity" message -- something the nation's media elite always runs to when they fear being blamed when things happen for which they bear responsibility -- Trump is about to make several mistakes. First, he's sacrificing the moral high ground he now occupies. Second, he's catering to his critics, who have been beating the drum that Trump himself, [blame-the-victim] style, created the atmosphere that led to his near-death. And third, he's ignoring the temperature of the nation and voter frustration with everything around them in favor of some limp noodle message in an attempt to get plaudits from the Atlantic and the New York Times.That was my first thought as well. As I've said a lot, one of my main problems with Trump is that he continues to be a prisoner of ideas that he had when young. For example, he still has a view of the New York Times as a prestigious paper of record, and cannot see the Times for what it is: A debased propaganda mill and defamation factory run by unqualified 25-year-old political extremists and antifa terrorist sympathizers and meritless DEI hires. That's why he spoke on the phone almost every night with NYT local reporter Maggie Haberman, a woman who probably cried out when she heard Trump had survived the attack. And he does continue seeking the approval of the elites. The big shots, the Hollywood crowd, the "glitterati." Yes, he appreciates the support from MAGA, but that's not the approval he craves. But on the other hand: There are few chances in life to form a second impression with the public. By being shot, and by being a victim of leftwing violence no matter how much the left claims that Trump Brought This On Himself, and by standing heroically after being shot in the head, and by being spared by what some see as the hand of Almighty God descending to turn his head just a whisker to the right, many members of the public might actually be ready to hear Trump's words without the taint of prejudice that eight long years of nonstop leftwing propaganda have instilled in them. And this isn't just about the election, either, which I consider to be very much in Trump's favor this time. If Trump actually garners the approval of a majority of the public, the left will be exposed as hateful minority, and Trump's ability to implement his agenda will be strengthened. Besides, I've always thought Trump's bark was worse than his bite. He sometimes talks like an extremist, while proposing the program of a moderate. That's the exact opposite of where you want him to be: I want his bite to be much worse than his bark. I'd like him to offer soothing banalities while pursuing the hardest-core rightwing extremist agenda possible. Speak softly, and carry a big, bloody stick. Trump's speech will now be one of the most-watched convention speeches in history, and will include many more Trump-curious persuadable voters than it would have before the assassin's bullet. He should play to that new audience. Right-wing extremists like myself are already on board. So as long as he merely moderates his tone, and does not moderate his already moderate-ish agenda, I'll bless this gambit. Even if it likely won't work, it's still worth the gamble.
Hack inveterate Democrat extremist Paul Begala has similar thoughts:
CNN political commentator Paul Begala acknowledged that he detests former President Donald Trump but that he can become "sympathetic" after the attempt on his life. A man attempted to assassinate Trump during a Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with a bullet grazing the former president's ear and drawing blood. "CNN News Central" host Kate Bolduan asked Begala how difficult it would be for Trump to remake his image to woo voters after the shooting, with the commentator acknowledging that it's possible for the former president to now appear more sympathetic because of the nation's open-mindedness. "It's almost impossible to answer your question, Kate, that someone this well-defined can be redefined, but this country is always open to it. You know, we are a really big-minded country," Begala said. "Mr. Trump has the opportunity now to be both strong and sympathetic ... The latter half of that is not Trump's brand. He's never been brand unity. Joe Biden is, but he is brand strength. So if he can combine those, that would be really formidable." "And I do think even I, as a Democrat, I can't stand him. Okay, but I wish him well, and I would love to see him try to redefine himself because there's so much division in this country, and a whole lot of it is fostered by Donald Trump," he continued. "So if he can change that, that would be a wonderful thing for our country. And frankly, for Mr. Trump politically."

Although he might be moderating his tone in favor of unity, I can also see him crafting an epic, Reaganesque, Churchillian, Lincolnian speech that may very well be the most important thing he's ever said or ever will say.

Unfortunately true.
He still thinks he can be a Republican President and it will be like it was decades ago. When someone like Reagan could get a giant tax cut through a Democrat Congress. Or that the military, national security and law enforcement are conservative, etc. That Fortune 500 CEOs would love him because he's a businessman, etc,
I also wish that was the case, but it's just not anymore. Hopefully Vance can let Trump get a better read on how things are now

But then in a later speech he needs to lay out WHO are the actual enemies.
Tulsi Gabbard disagrees with me on a LOT of issues. She's not an enemy.
AOC disagrees with me on almost as many issues as Tulsi. She's an enemy.
The difference? Tulsi doesn't want me dead. (Short version)
Longer version: Tulsi recognizes we are each people of good will and disagree on means and ends to make the country better.
AOC and her ilk see that I disagree, therefore I'm evil and must be eliminated.
Trump needs to make this distinction clear for the masses.

@SteveDeaceShow
With the Vance selection as VP, permit me to be the first person to encourage Gov DeWine to appoint Vivek Ramaswamy to replace him in the Senate come January. Vivek clearly displayed during the presidential campaign his brilliance and understanding of many key issues. However, his lack of résumé politically didn’t allow him to catch on anywhere, except on this app. This would give him a chance to prove himself, and I am eager to see him put that brilliance to the test while actually helping to govern the country.

What is the reasonable non-hysteric ground?
At least one of the two parties believe that boys can become girls by putting a dress on and that drag queens should be allowed to rap with them about this prospect.
One side has embraced madness and labeled the other Hitlerian for occasionally expressing concerns in the most milquetoast of ways.
What middle ground is there to seize on the issues Americans disagree about?

There Can Be No Unity With The Violent Democrat-Media Industrial Complex
From thefederalist.com

Sorry, but that’s not going to happen. There can be no unity with people and institutions who have spent years whipping the left into a violent frenzy over Trump. This goes for Democrats and the corporate media alike.
President Biden has spent the last few years declaring over and over that Trump is a “threat to democracy.” Some are outraged about Biden’s recent call with donors when he said it’s “time to put Trump in the bullseye,” but far worse rhetoric from Biden has been commonplace for years. Biden’s infamous Red Wedding speech in Philadelphia, where he declared Trump and MAGA Republics were a threat to democracy, was nearly two years ago...
...The corporate media especially has long pushed what Mollie Hemingway back in December called assassination prep: nonstop comparisons of Trump to Hitler, incessant warnings that if Trump isn’t stopped it will mean the end of democracy in America, and mantra-like repetition that a Trump victory in November means the gulags for every leftist identity group.

so I had a weird experience - near death experience - when I was a yuppie working in Philly. no details required but someone literally saved clueless me from death.
for like a week after, the whole world literally not figuratively LITERALLY looked different. crisper. brighter.
I felt this thing - like I was in a new reality, like anything was possible! If I try hard, I can still remember how it felt.
Possible. What is possible? What does PDJT think/see as possible, right now? he's in one of the possibly very few realities in which he still lives, and wasn't killed.

That has got to be a turn off to most of the moderate people. Most people really don't want to be part of a country where it's ok to murder your political opponent.
If Trump is out there saying "we can in fact get along" and the left is howling for blood like they are doing, he'll peel off lots more votes.

A young private, realizing the incredible odds against the survival of the small British outpost in view of the thousands of Zulu warriors who are about to attack, is bordering on panic as he asks wise old Colour Sergeant Bourne, "Why us, Colour Sergeant?" To which Bourne responds, in his deep, calm voice, "Because we're here. Just us. Nobody else."

This platform was just approved by the convention. It's short and to the point at about 16 pages (the Dims had a 92 page platform in 2020 and doubtless will have to add more Alphabet People provisions this year). Run on that, make good personnel choices (Vance is a good start) and be ruthless about rooting out career activists in government positions, and I don't care about Trump's tone in a speech Normies are watching.

Personally, I hope he swings a wrecking ball in office, but he has to get there first. I’m less concerned with tone than actions and not giving away the US to foreign hordes and criminals.

Pretty much.
It's become a rallying cry similar to abortion because young women have been convinced to waste their prime mate-attracting and child-bearing years toiling pointlessly for 40+ hour workweeks year in and year out in order to... I'm not sure what, exactly. Because there's no men that care about their jobs, achievement, etc.
But they advance and the pool of eligible mates gets smaller and smaller because they won't date down, and they took the jobs they want their mates to have, and time marches on.
And the one thing they cling to is that there's an expensive and failure prone process that might possibly provide them with a baby inside their worn out body, and I'm sure it will work out fine.

I've definitely seen this. And the candidate doesn't actually have to be nice. The candidate can be inconceivably nasty but as long as the public voices (media, etc) say he/she is decent and nice, then that's what the mushy heads believe.
See Biden, Joe.
Posted by: Archimedes at July 15, 2024 04:40 PM (xCA6C)
Problem is lots more people will be watching him and he knows how to hypnotize the masses. he's gonna call himself a god because the bullet almost killed him but didn't.
It's just another schtick for him. Tell the people what they want to hear. In the background he's probably telling his violent followers to arm up and get ready to kill us all.
Are you sure? Coming close to being killed must certainly have SOME effect on a person. Even him. As much as I can’t stand him.
As they hauled him away he had his fist in the air and was yelling "fight, fight, fight." The only thing it will matter to Trump is he'll have a new fund-raising ploy and rake in millions from the suckers.
The cultists who dominate the convention don't want a unity speech, they want the hate and grievance filled rhetoric.

Contrast the image of Trump, bloodied, his fist in the air and framed by the flag against the image of Biden shuffling around and barely being able to speak.

Although he might be moderating his tone in favor of unity, I can also see him crafting an epic, Reaganesque, Churchillian, Lincolnian speech that may very well be the most important thing he's ever said or ever will say.

JDV is a great start on that but only after Trump gets done crushing Biden and what he represents, deports all the illegals, builds a southern border moat filled with alligators, bans EVs, pumps oil until the ground sinks, saves the US Dollar as a the reserve currency, builds a great economy, makes the EU assholes cry, gets China's mind right about things and makes it a law that all hotels have to put a mint on the pillow.
And if Trump can do all this while avoiding wasting time by getting into fistfights with Rosie O'Donnell, et al, well, that is kind of a win. Lincoln is something of the model here, he destroyed the South, preserved the Union, ended slavery, and laid the foundation for reconciliation. I hope Trump gets the first part first and the second part second as he proposes a path towards reconciliation, or as we call it now, unifying.
God's speed President Trump.
Posted by: Altaria Pilgram at July 15, 2024 04:42 PM (RUmyk)
What he is doing is taking the moral high ground. He's got the victimhood *they* usually have, and he is going to milk every inch of teat for all it's worth.
If he doesn't, they will stomp all over the high ground with their usual calls for unity which are just division disguised as unity.
With Trump calling for unity from the victim high ground, their choice is to either refuse and be the divisive ones or to pretend to go along with it, which muffles their rabble rousing megaphone.
I know many still think Trump is a lucky idiot but he isn't.

"We're so beyond f---ed," lamented a longtime Democratic insider, emphasizing that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be an unforgettable image between now and Election Day.
"The presidential contest ended last night," said another veteran Democratic consultant, who spoke with the network anonymously to offer an honest assessment of the party's position in the wake of Saturday night's tragic events, which also resulted in the death of one rally attendee and seriously wounded two others.

Yep. Recall Trump's SOTU speech. There was absolutely nothing divisive about it. Pelosi stood up and ripped it in half. There is nothing he can say that will sway them to his side.
Be specific. Most Dems won't reconsider, but some Dems might. In any case, it's mostly for the benefit of independents and the mushy middle.

In the long run it's irrelevant otherwise. There is not going to be unity. Everything is going to go to shit and it's going to suck and one or both sides are going to lose and possibly just get annihilated, and not in the figurative sense, and what PDT in office accomplishes is positioning "not the left" to come out of that fight in better shape. It's not so much a clash of civilizations as a bunch of evil assholes who feel they will benefit from murdering OUR civilization, and who aren't going to be talked out of it.
I would not be surprised if the progs decide that now that they've swung and missed, that there is no downside to trying again because otherwise they're now much less likely to squeak out a win in November anyways. And they KNOW there is nobody in a position to replace him right now.

Lemme 'splain.
The Democrats/Socialist brand depends on their flock believing that their leaders are the best, the brightest, the most truthful, the most righteous of all.
Well then, first Biden's senile feebleness has been exposed with the debate. Whether the Dims wish to acknowledge it or not, they lied to America and esp the Democrat voters and have been revealed as such.
Can Trump's Call for Unity now be responded to in kind by the Democrats?
No, absolutely not. One day Trump is Hitler and the next....*kicks dirt* "Well, fellow Democrats, that Trump is Hitler stuff was all just a lie to get you to vote for us. He's not really Hitlerrrrrr. I mean c'mon he didn't put y'all in camps when he was President before. Just how stupid and gullible are y'all?"
Never ever gonna happen.
The Democrats will persist in their creepy, hateful lies and be revealed as dickweeds of the highest order, and...
without a massive cheat will lose all, because their disgusting and should disgust all Americans.

I have noticed that a lot of LIVs in professional class are extremely phony and the gravitate toward people like themselves. They judge based on superficialities. They know that everyone is full of shit, but guys like Obama are polished and can be trusted, while guys like Trump are crass liars.

Too many predictions of the fall of GOPe leadership in Congress for me to be celebrating yet.
But Vance, on day 1 of a Trump administration, should go in as President of the Senate and say, "Anyone who votes for Mitch, Cornyn, or Thune is considered an enemy."
He won't, but he should.

We've often been rightly befuddled how anyone can be "undecided" anymore but, in my case at least, it might be because I've had this antiquated persona in mind of someone who's vacillating between policy positions they like in one candidate vs. those they like in the other. These days, that would be a preposterously insulated mind. Perhaps "undecided" these days reflects misgivings. "They say, 'Yeah, I'm a likely voter' while they're thinking 'Am I, really?'"
I believe the modern "undecided" persona is in mid- tune-out regarding the wider world, putting his or her entire emotional energy into family and community, but at the same time yearning to see some integrity, strength, and sincerity in the people who want to make big decisions, so they themselves don't have worry about the big picture anymore.
I think that just demonstrating some reflectiveness, in his own unconventional way, helps Trump with this cohort.

All depends on what happens in November and how deep we cut. If it’s a landslide and we take the House and Senate, it strengthens the hand for reform. Trump will play the hand he’s dealt and Vance will be the henchman.

Also IVF produces multiple fertilized eggs. Multiple eggs are implanted then an abortion is basically performed to remove the less "viable" eggs after a few days or weeks.
Extra eggs are also put in cold storage basically forever.
Frankly, it's a very dehumanizing process turning reproduction into just another technological achievement.

He has been Orange Hitler for 8 years now. I just find the idea that trying to kill him presents an opportunity that trying to imprison him didn't.
But what do I know. We're essentially guessing what a slender part of the electorate who are all fucking low-info wishy-washy retards will do based on a speech they probably won't even watch.

The Republican establishment fought Donald Trump very hard but were unable to keep him from winning in 2016. The same could be said of Vance in 2022. That experience of successfully defeating the powerful and wealthy —but dying, old and stagnant — version of the GOP is something they share.

The problem is it's becoming normalized similar to abortion being viewed as birth control.
Women are designed to have babies when they're young and healthy and attractive and able to raise children. Our Betters have convinced them that's not how things should be, and they should work and pay taxes for 20 years and then try to struggle with children after expensive medical procedures with a high failure rate. Instead of just having children.
That's the problem.

Perhaps so, but then that's the problem that needs to be worked on, although I'm of the opinion that nothing will change it. Women can't be forced to have kids when they're young. If they choose not to, at least IVF gives them hope.

"Unity" must test well in the latest DNC and Biden campaign focus group sessions. It means whatever each attendee wants, because I doubt the Dems are defining it. A lot of left and left-leaning women likely say to themselves, "Yes the nation needs to unify on abortions until a week after birth, paid for by Uncle Sugar. And the nation needs to unify on banning and confiscating every gun in America so black assault rifles can never kill another child or puppy."

But as became apparent in 2017, I don't think there's much to worry about today.

They don't have it in them. They can't live that lie. They're not GOP Senators.

You are so right about that. There is such a thing as a life changing moment, and he had it!
I had mine last year, where a confluence of events that made me still be here also made me realize that God still has a plan for me.
Any one thing goes differently and I'm not here.
So, when Trump says he's not supposed to be here, he's supposed to be dead, he's looking at it all wrong.
He's not supposed to be dead or he would be.
God still has a plan for him. (Man, I hope time doesn't prove me wrong, but I don't think it will)
Also, a few weeks after my incident I also said that I shouldn't be here, and immediately felt like I was going to keel over again, so I retracted that and said I don't know why I am and the feeling passed.
There's more in this world than science and logic can possibly explain or understand and once you see it, you know.

I think Pres. Trump is expecting a lot more Trump-curious people to watch his acceptance speech than would have tuned-in if the assassination attempt had not occurred. I think he's planning to contrast his demeanor (calm and reassuring) to that of the Democrats (strident and hate-filled). He doesn't need to persuade the Republican base.
I do get a little tired of the "Oh Trump is going to betray us" whimpering. Dude could be playing golf and boinking his super-model wife, and not have a care in the world.
He is a flawed man, but we all are sinners. I think he does genuinely love America and Americans.

Besides, when you have John McCain being besties with the Soros family... well... who do you trust in DC?
That 'shooter' was allowed to maneuver in Butler by people in DC. Do you HONESTLY think a serious Secret Service would have allowed that? DEI(DIE) has taken hold and demoralized every serious person in DC.
