“Over the past week the Democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in American history. They spent 4 straight days attacking America as racist, and a horrible country that must be redeemed,” said President Donald Trump today, as he offered a worthier, more positive, more just picture of our great nation and its people.
And he is right, that is exactly how the DNC went. Just for one example, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her few minutes on air managed to squeeze in accusing the U.S. of “racial injustice, colonization, misogyny, and homophobia,” said we have to “turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past,” and said our economy is based on “unsustainable brutality.”
She only had NINETY SECONDS. Biden was on longer, and said we are living in a “season of American darkness.”
Trump has a different view.
“Over the past week the Democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in American history. They spent 4 straight days attacking America as racist, and a horrible country that must be redeemed. Joe Biden grimly declared a season of American darkness, and yet look at what we’ve accomplished until the plague came in. Look at what we’ve accomplished. And now we’re doing it again
“It’s the most successful period of time in the history of our country from every standard. Look what we’ve accomplished. And now this plague comes in and look at the way they talk. But look at what’s happening and look at how we’re shooting up. We call it a super V, it’s no longer a V, it’s a super V. And they didn’t think that could happen and they are probably not happy about it. They want to punish America and its citizens instead of holding them high.
“Where Joe Biden sees American darkness, I see American greatness. We’ve seen heroic doctors and nurses racing into action to save lives. We’ve seen first responders helping strangers in need. We’ve seen the passage of historic legislation to save 50 million American jobs. We’ve mobilized American industry like never before. We’ve built military hospitals from scratch to produce lifesaving therapies. And we’re on track to develop the most incredible for me standpoint of time, record time vaccines. We have vaccines. You’ll be reading about them very soon. Way, way ahead of schedule. Years ahead of schedule.
“This would have been where we are now phase three trials, clinical trials, you wouldn’t have been there in two or three years if you went back to another administration. It’s time to reject the anger and the hate of the Democrat Party. We have the biggest election coming up of our lifetime.
“No party can lead America that spends so much time tearing down America. But the biggest part of last night’s speech was what Joe Biden didn’t talk about. He didn’t talk about law enforcement. He didn’t talk about bringing safety to Democrat-run cities that are totally out of control and they have no clue. China was never mentioned in any way, shape or form. China will own our country if he gets elected. They will own our country. And we’re not going to let that happen.
“And you’ve seen the intelligence reports. China very much wants Joe Biden to win. That would be very insulting if they wanted me to win. I don’t think so.
“I don’t think so. We’ve taken in billions and billions of dollars from China. We’ve given it to our farmers we’ve given it to lot — they’ve had the worst year they’ve had in 67 years. We had the best year we ever had. We’ve demonstrated over the last four years the extraordinary gains that are possible while we stand strong for our beliefs, when we trust the wisdom of our founders and when we embrace America’s destiny. It’s a great destiny.”
