Thanks for new thread Flowers

Nah, sadly, it's more likely to be "something something fake news, wasn't my speech great, more people watched than watched Obama, democrats didn't applaud the widow, I'm brilliant".

The SCARY bit would be if he delivers another carefully read out speech.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:29

Ugh, here we go.

I always thought "Well, why wouldn't you just get out of there while you can?" with regards to the rise of 1930's Germany, Franco's Spain etc. Now we're seeing it happening again, everyone seems to be in on the take and I don't know where to go ..

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:32

America is the best. American craftsmanship at its biggest, best, finest.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:32

"And by the way we're going to soon have more [ships] coming"

Crowd very responsive, lots of applause.

lionheart · 02/03/2017 19:32

I find I cannot bear to watch him even on mute.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:33

We will have the finest equipment in the world ... we are going to have very soon the finest equipment in the world.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:33

We will give our military the tools to prevent war and if necessary fight it.

Going to start winning again.

Lweji · 02/03/2017 19:33

Bless him, looking all military. No spurs in feet now. :)

Notice the servicemen behind him not applauding?

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:34

(It sounds like he's memorised this)

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:35

I salute you and our sailors

I will never ever let you down

cozietoesie · 02/03/2017 19:35

You're all very brave. Smile

amispartacus · 02/03/2017 19:35

All this equipment needs paying for. Which departments will lose out?

(I guess they could have been told to stand still?)

There is no competition to this ship. It's a monument to American might.

To project American power in distant lands. Hopefully its power we don't have to use. But if we do, they're in big big trouble.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:39

(He HAS memorised this, hasn't he? Have to admit, he sounds less ... er, out there than usual)

On Tuesday in my address ... rebuilding of the US military and navy [thunderous applause]

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:40

Best deals for the tax payer, gotta get a good deal, or we're not doing our job.

Same boat for less money. Same aeroplanes for less money.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:40

(Yes, I spoke too soon) (slaps self)

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:41

In these troubled times our navy is the smallest it's been since world war one.

lionheart · 02/03/2017 19:42

More lies and bigly posturing then. Is this yet another smokescreen to hide the Russian rumblings?

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 02/03/2017 19:42

Am just watching now on BBC News. The applause seems quite muted to me. He looks like an utter twunt in that hat and shiny jacket too.

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:43

We must improve our cyber capabilities ... many jobs in Virginia and across America ... new technology and new innovation.

American ships will sail the seas
American planes will soar the skies
American workers will build our fleets

CussingQuim · 02/03/2017 19:43

God bless everyone in America.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 02/03/2017 19:43

Oh yeah, "quick, look over here - we will have a 12 aircraft carrier fleet!" Definite distraction technique. Russia, Russia, Russia - that's the smoking gun.
