That was not a speech that will convince anyone who doesn’t own a #MAGA hat.
Maybe the speech was a rope-a-dope.
Our POTUS said we have a serious crisis, but as everyone on our side noticed, he gave very little data supporting that position
even though he certainly could have. Trump appears to be thereby dangling a seemingly lovely opportunity for the Dems to flatly deny the fact of the crisis--e.g., saying "It's all manufactured!." Heck, that's their entire playbook. They have to stick to it and hope against hope that doubling down on their lies will somehow win the debate (especially if they yell louder and louder).
I am guessing that the idiot Dems are pretty relieved right now, considering the fact that Trump's speech was so low-key. The Dems will likely be
delighted to go loudly and clearly on record that Nasty Old Trump is
lying about the "crisis." (After all, he didn't even try to make a strong case, did he? It would appear that he has no very high cards in his hand--right?)
Ah, but if President Trump has some way of getting air time again--and I am willing to bet that he does!--he will be able publicly to
eat the Dems alive with lots and lots of verified
data and
mind-blowing video footage. (Hopefully, the latest Central American caravan will be here soon.) This next speech, way over eight minutes in length (!), would be the best way to show that the
Dems and the
MSM are over-the-top
liars. They will have taken their best shot, but it will be demonstrably devoid of all of the important
FACTS. By rebutting the rebuttals, there will be no further effective rebuttals possible for the Dems. The Dems will have already shot their wad in their attack. Trump's rhetorical counterattack could sarcastically thank them for having opened up the issues of the
facts on the border and in our homeland, thanking them for focusing our electorate's
attention on cold, hard
facts--the
FACTS that
TRUMP WILL REVEAL OVER AND AGAINST THE FAKE NEWS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING.
If Trump is playing everything this way, his opening speech tonight was merely designed to open the discussion, not to end it--not to win the debate with a first round knock-out. The speech was good enough to pique the curiosity of the
hoi polloi over the next several days, and it did have some gems that rang true even in the foul souls of the political reprobates who will try to attack him as a phony. Most important of all, however, Trump will have set up ominous momentum for himself and will wind up having essentially the last word in the debate--which is
always a good thing. By securing the dramatic final position in the debate, luring the Dems into presenting their "Just
Smear Trump" position, he will have turned the tables on the Dems. In fact, I assume that Trump can and probably will unleash his most
ferocious and
unanswerable accusations against the Dems and MSM while he is schooling the American public on how bad the mess is
IN SPITE OF WHAT THE LYING, SOCIALIST CROOKS HAVE BEEN TELLING THEM.This rope-a-dope strategy, with Trump posing as having only a nice-sounding but fairly calm, soft argument, will focus many political numbskulls' attention on the real villains in the overall fracas--i.e., the Radical Socialists who are trying to destroy our country by their sheer hypocrisy, by their fake and outrageously un-American "compassion' for the tired and poor over and against America's
necessary sovereignty and
necessary national security. The will see that the
facts of the dangerous border mess are on
Trump's side. All but the craziest admirers of the Socialist crooks will notice that the Dems have
no facts. Many patriotic but confused, misinformed, foolish Democrat voters will finally connect the dots to see that their political heroes don't just hate Trump: they are power-mad Socialist elitists who hate America itself and who are just using their Democratic Party base as a huge mob of useful idiots.

Finally, it occurs to me that the reason why Trump did not declare an emergency during this speech might be that he is going to do it in the
next speech--forcing himself onto the air again in a crushing counterattack against the Dems and the MSM. He might even use the Emergency Alert System to stellar advantage for this move. (He might even use the occasion of the border wall discussion to telegraph his intentions to marshal federal forces against voting fraudsters and even sanctuary city/state crooks--opening sealed grand jury indictments, for example. This would jolt a lot of folks into considering the possibility that our unsecured border and our sanctuary cities and our horrible mess of voting fraud really do frame a major conspiracy to take down America--i.e., a real
emergency.)
Remember: The DHS has not made its final report on the problem of voting fraud. (I certainly haven't seen it, at least.)
Why do I think Trump might be playing it all this way? I dunno. I suppose that it's because this is the way I would play it if I were him. (Gee, I hope he's as shrewd as I am.
