Trump fires up the charm with Downstate steel workers: ‘I could be one of you’

“We need steel,” he said. “We need steel plants. And to see an old, big monster plant like this re-opening — that is an honor. I look at the faces of you people; I could be one of you. I like you guys. I could be one of you.”

That struck me as either sincere or an amazing facsimile. The workers, for their part, couldn’t give him a standing ovation because they never sat down.

I left the hall thinking: Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020. The Democrats don’t have anyone who can touch him. Bank on it. Don’t hate me for being the one to tell you.

Fake news heads exploding with derisive comparisons to the sainted JFK in 3...2....1....

LOL! And I’ll bet you not more than one in five Republicans and one in ten Democrats understands the reference to Reardon.

Correct. Way back when he started bringing up the American steel issue (campaign rallies, I think), I immediately thought, “Reardon!”

Maybe the steelworkers will fashion a gorgeous bracelet for Melania like Reardon did for his wife. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Wow 2 rallies! Good job..The rally we went to had a line going back several blocks, and we waited almost 3 hours in line to enter the venue. It was lot of excitement throughout. The Xfinity arena broke attendance record since it was built 10-11 years ago.
