So That’s How It Went

Was off Twitter all day. I assume the Trump rally was long on wonky details about his vision for helping ordinary Americans regardless of party?

Popped over to watch Trump during March Madness halftime.

This speech is like getting cornered by a guy at a party who is 11 beers deep and can't stop talking about how his career & marriage didn't go as well as he hoped.

"You didn't even know China was a problem until I came along." - Trump just now

I'm going to rule "partly true" since his audience isn't exactly the Council on Foreign Relations

Charles Pace, Branch Davidian leader: “He is making a statement, I believe, by coming to these stomping grounds, where the government and the FBI laid siege on this community — just like they laid siege on Mar-a-Lago.” https://t.co/cl249EoeAE

The Texas Tribune got the closest to a reference to Koresh at the rally. And they had to find a Branch Dravidian (who knew there were any left?) to make it.

Odds that Trump refers to “The great David Koresh and his beautiful compound” tonight?

So, sorry, I don’t think that happened.

Trump’s stump speeches getting constant national attention because they are a reliable train wreck is really not how this is supposed to work.

True. But who’s going to talk about that tomorrow morning?

Thank goodness we put that issue to rest https://t.co/vyOAnxTPuM

Yeah, that happened.

Meanwhile, back at the speech:

"Either the deep state destroys America or we destroy the deep state."

I mean, who could possibly take that the wrong way and think it's a call to violence

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 25, 2023

Didn’t he say this in his inaugural speech? Which does call into question the newsworthiness of these speeches. Especially since the train wreck aspects are very seldom covered in full. Except on Twitter, where they are discussed ad nauseum.

We’re sure to hear more about that tomorrow. Even though it seems the only reason it comes up is because someone brought it up earlier.

I didn’t need to watch the speech to know 2 important points that it should refresh for everyone still sane:

1) He becomes more unstable, demented & dangerous with each appearance.
2) His cult’s radicalization is unaffected by point number 1.

Arguably the most dangerous part of that cult is in jail, and the rest is shrinking further and further into numerical insignificance.
