He revisited Hillary Clinton&#8217;s emails, his inauguration crowd size, and some totally incomprehensible blathering about tariffs that goes back to the eighteen hundreds. He even took some time out to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1101893994206904323\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hump the American flag<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a monumental waste of time to do an analysis of the whole brain dump that Trump unloaded. But there are a few moments that set the tone for an afternoon of utter idiocy. Let&#8217;s begin with Trump&#8217;s descent into the sort of profanity that right-wingers would roast any Democrat for engaging in. Having something to do with the Reagan administration forty years ago, he said that:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KO9TMI3W9z\">pic.twitter.com\/KO9TMI3W9z<\/a>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1101900271574282241\/video\/1\">March 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t bother trying to figure out what he&#8217;s talking about. Just move on to the next part where Trump exhibits his fear of the future that holds puts him in extreme legal jeopardy. He predictably attacked special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s investigation as a <em>&#8220;Witch Hunt,&#8221;<\/em> and asserted falsely that one of Mueller&#8217;s team was running the Clinton Foundation (that he calls the Hillary Clinton foundation). He also said that another team member <em>&#8220;has perhaps the worst reputation of any human being I have ever seen.&#8221;<\/em> Seriously, that&#8217;s as specific as he got. Then he repeated one of his favorite lies that former FBI Director James Comey and Mueller are best friends. In the real world <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39949\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">they are at best acquaintances<\/a><\/strong>. They had dinner once and have never visited each other&#8217;s homes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0pmfsZCRU4\">pic.twitter.com\/0pmfsZCRU4<\/a>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1101901018508521472\">March 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But perhaps the most offensive portion of today&#8217;s Trump tirades was when he tried to emulate the McCarthyist rhetoric that insinuated that America&#8217;s enemies infiltrated the government and the Congress:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We have people in Congress right now that hate our country. And you know that.

If the list has any accuracy at all, his name will be at the top of it. After all, he&#8217;s the one that openly expresses his love for Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and any other foreign dictator he has met. And somehow Trump wandered off at the end into an immigration rant that questioned how these members of Congress did in <em>&#8220;their country.&#8221;<\/em> What countries he&#8217;s talking about remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>This CPAC speech is officially Trump&#8217;s longest to date. For two hours, he managed to entertain the Deplorables at the conference. But the good news is that the damage was limited to the convo attendees and to what&#8217;s left of the audience at Fox News. Fox proved their devotion to the President by being the only cable news network that aired the speech live and uninterrupted. They have truly earned their reputation as State TV. But unfortunately for them and Trump, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40738\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">their audience is rapidly shrinking<\/a><\/strong> in the face of strong competition from MSNBC, led by the top rated program on cable news, the Rachel Maddow Show.
