President Donald Trump opened his political rally in Phoenix with calls for unity and an assertion that "our movement is about love." Then he erupted in anger.

He blamed the media for the widespread condemnation of his response to violence at a Charlottesville, Virginia, protest organized by white supremacists. And he shouted that he had "openly called for healing, unity and love" in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and had simply been misrepresented in news coverage.

Owwwww. An ANGRY speech. LOL! These assclowns are really doubling down aren’t they? Today is Reno’s turn to be embarrassed when Trump comes in to address the American Legion. Our locals dimwit assclown blm/aunt teefuh types only heard that tearing down statues is actually a white supremacist call to arms. Most people don’t really give two craps about the monuments.

There was nothing angry about that speech. It made people feel great to be an American again and gave them hope for a better future that had been robbed from there from the last 8 years.

Anger?! Seems like President Trump went through a nice narrative of all of the times the media ignored or lied about his comments. I guess is the media is on the receiving end of that, they see that his anger, I see that is simply stating the facts.

angry speech

Good God, they can't even get through the headline without lying and bearing false witness.

Didn't hear the eruption in "anger." The President, in my opinion, as a fellow extemporaneous orator, was simply having fun with the media.

The media would like to be taken seriously. Unfortunately for the media, they are no longer entitled to be taken seriously.

It's not like he said "if they bring a knife to the fight, we'll bring a gun", or "we need to get in their face."

I do remember another president making those kind of "angry" comments, however.

I watched it, it did not seem like an angry speech to me.

I am a Yankee who has lived in the South most of my adult life and have given thousands to battlefield preservation.

I care about those monuments.

VA state law seems to clearly state that those wearing masks at that rally, including Antifa and KKK, were committing a felony.
Governor Terry McAuliffe appears to have gave them a free pass instead of having them arrested, hoping it would result in a death that Trump would get blamed for.

MSM and some Republicans gave McAuliffe and Antifa a free pass for this.

I posted the law text at this link:
Did the Antifa leftist terrorists break VA state law by wearing masks at the Charlottesville riot? (LIS Virginia law (virginia.gov) | 8/23/2017 | )

The media is like a bad gambler who keeps going with a losing bet. It’s not working. He’s not angry. He’s right. The people understand. The people like this guy. The media keeps trying to sell the idea that he’s a dangerous Nazi who is mentally unfit for the office. No one is buying that.

What? No. We would like your people to hold everyone back until you have the others penned in. Yes.

We already have assurances from the mayor and the governor that they will keep the police from interfering.

Yes. What? Yes, even if there is some violence we have to make sure that it looks real bad.

Listen, just watch the news tonight. We are going to really make Trump squirm.

>>pinging insults at perceived enemies such as the media<<

There is nothing “perceived” about it. The media is the enemy of President Trump, conservatives and America.
