Our expectations were way too high so it's harder to see how big it was. But let's walk down the logical brick road tonight.
Did you know Trump's speech was aired almost in its entirety on CNN, CSPAN and Fox News? Who watches those networks? Not us. We don't trust the MSM.
So Trump has new eyeballs on him. What was he supposed to do? Come out in loud, aggressive fashion in front of D's who were already brainwashed to believe Trump was a madman?
Instead he comes out calm, collected, thoughtful, nonthreatening in ANY way. This is a marketing tactic called "pattern interruption." People expect to see you perform one way so they already have preset rebuttals for what they THINK you're going to do.
But you come out a completely DIFFERENT way and confuse them...they didn't "game plan" for that. So instead of Trump looking like a raging maniac that the MSM pushed to their sheep, Trump looks shockingly sane.
And guess what? He spoke for a whole hour and hasn't stuttered and stumbled once. No slurred speech. No forgotten thoughts or sentences that started in one way and ended up no where.
This is important...because the people who watch the MSM are used to seeing 2 years of dementia. Now they circle back to Trump for the first time in probably 2 years and hear his voice very differently.
Since CNN was watching, no mention of election fraud. Did Trump sell out? No. He has to keep the cameras rolling. He mentions stolen elections, and the cameras go off, the new people don't hear the rest of Trumps words.
And what's Trump saying? He's saying the SAME THING he said and warned them about on the campaign trail. Back then they thought he was lying...now they know he was always telling the truth.
He just won a larger audience of voters now. But this is only the beginning...
I like this take because it offers an explanation for the performance we just witnessed. I suppose we are so used to seeing "Trump Rally" Trump, that we forgot he has to tone it down sometimes as well.
Doesn't the fact that he is officially running offer him some protection from lawsuits now? Not that I worry about him being convicted, but just having to go through the process until either the election is over or he is out of office...
you're correct. it was barr's excuse so that he didn't have to go after biden
It sure does. My normie coworkers are saying that's WHY he's running. I just set back, and think, oh you just wait. You just wait. You'll see.
Yup, every left wing hit piece use words like "raged" "whined" "had a temper tantrum" or whatever extreme, out of whack description of the man. "Trump raged over the news that.." when in reality ->Trump was disappointed over or simply disagreed with, the news. What else are people in closed MsM bubbles going to naturally thingk of the man, with all that bs being pushed at them daily? I am glad he cut out the hyper for this one.
