@mimi This is what happens when people rely on other people to describe speeches.

I saw most of the speech on tv. Trump wasn't remotely furious - in fact, he was joking throughout and the audience laughed (I find Trump to be very funny, too).

The simple fact is, the US was sold out by the neo-cons/neo-liberals. The US has been running trade deficits for years. A deficit is just like taking money out of the US pocket and giving it to some other country. Billions of dollars in deficits over the years. Millions of jobs lost. Think about that.

I myself consider businesses who move to other countries to be traitors to the US. They have been ruining the US while making their owners and managers, who live in the US, rich. The people who decide to move businesses to other countries need to be kicked out of this country. (yeah that includes people like Steve Jobs, too).

No one but Trump (or Bernie) was going to do anything (or try to do anything) about this situation.

Foes 'Trying to Take Me Out With Bullshit,' Trump Tells CPAC Faithful

OXON HILL, Md.—In a slashing speech packed with braggadocio and grievance, President Donald Trump denounced Democrats as the party of “the socialist nightmare,” relitigated his crowd sizes back to the inauguration and took on “sick,” ”lunatic” and “dirty” foes at every turn, earning him the earning him the unvarnished adoration of cheering conservatives Saturday.
...
Trump claimed that as president he was “reversing decades of blunders and betrayals” by those who preceded him in office.

“These are serious, serious betrayals to our nation and everything we stand for,” Trump said. “It’s been done by the failed ruling class that enriched foreign countries at our expense. It’s wasn’t America first. In many cases, it was America last.”
...
His remarks capped a week that saw his nuclear summit with North Korea’s leader collapse without an agreement, his former lawyer deliver damaging congressional testimony about his character and business practices and Congress take action to nullify his emergency declaration to secure money for the border wall that lawmakers have denied him.
...
“America will never be a socialist country,” he said. “Socialism is not about the environment, it’s not about justice, it’s not about virtue.” He said it’s about “power for the ruling class.”

I think the President has made the wrong career choices. He should have become a comedian. So entertaining is this man, isn't he?

@mimi really get the hostility to socialism, considering so much is socialized right now.
