Barack Obama/Joe Biden/Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren/Andrew
Cuomo/AOC, etc., etc.:
“If you own a business, you didn’t do it. We have to be
careful of supporters of Donald trump, half of whom I say are in a basket of
deplorables. You know, they cling to their God and their guns. Far-right
radical skinhead white supremacists are the biggest threat to this country.”
NYT/Washington Post/CNN/MSNBC, et. al.: “In a magnificent,
soaring speech, pleading for togetherness, seeking to heal and unify this country,
Obama [or fill-in-the-blank progressive Democrat] masterfully showed who is who
and what must be done. This sent thrills up the legs of many in attendance—and
indeed of those listening around the world.”
President Trump:
“There is nothing we cannot do, nothing we cannot achieve, if we recognize our history and our calling. After all, we are Americans, no matter what race, ethnicity, sex or origin. This great nation of ours has produced people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Martin Luther King and Muhammed Ali."

This great nation of ours has produced people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Martin Luther King and Muhammed Ali."
NYT/Washington Post/CNN/MSNBC, et. al.: “In a dark and
divisive speech, President Trump pushed racial hatred and intolerance, lauded
white supremacy and desperately tried to hide his grave mishandling of the
coronavirus which has led to the tragic death of millions of Americans, nearly
all of them people of color, whom he obviously and openly despises.”
Obama:
“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Drive safe. God bless you
and God bless the United States of America.”
New York Times/Washington Post/CNN/MSNBC, et. al.: “In an
eloquent, soaring speech, fairly dripping with good will, the president thanked
those in the massive crowd for coming, taking the time to personally recognize
their individual genders, and extending heartfelt wishes for their safe travels
and future blessings. A glorious speech, appealing to the better angels in our
nature.”
Trump:
“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Drive safe. God bless you
and God bless the United States of America.”
New York Times/Washington Post/CNN/MSNBC, et. al.: “In a
dark, divisive and remarkably tone-deaf address, the down-on-his-luck and
increasingly desperate President Trump chose to cling to traditional white,
patriarchal jargon, totally excluding members of the LGBTQIIA+ community when
thanking “ladies and gentlemen” for attending his diatribe against humanity. He
then disingenuously purported to wish those few in attendance well by saying
“drive safe,” utterly dismissing any who may have walked, biked or taken public
transportation. This deliberate slander was, of course, especially hurtful to
those who didn’t pass their driver’s exams, which we know are specifically
designed to prevent peoples of color from obtaining a license to operate a
motor vehicle. In closing, The Divider-in-Chief, in characteristic
hyper-Christian fashion, invoked a non-existent ‘God’ (giggle) in a misguided
attempt to praise and bless his supporters and the Whites Only Need Apply Nation
of which he is apparently so proud. Moreover, he refused to wear a facial mask
while speaking and cowardly avoided the opportunity to talk about the
devastating effects of the Trump Virus, or COVID-19 if you prefer, and his
many—and glaring—mistakes in dealing with it.”
