I wasn’t able to watch President Trump’s speech on border security last night. Later I read it on a RealClearPolitics website and he makes a good case.
No, Democrats will not be persuaded because they wouldn’t accept as truthful his assertion that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Him saying anything makes it suspect in their eyes ... that’s just the reality. I think he may have convinced independents.
Every now and then President Trump is serious about something. When this happens, he is fully able to drop the hyperbole and exaggeration and deliver a straight, closely reasoned speech.
That is what he delivered last night. Those who wish him well might like him to do so more often. However, I find him to be a good judge of when to do “serious” and when to do “pep rally.”
