"You horrible human being, you better start listening to me or you're gonna get your ass whooped," Trump says Bill Clinton told Hillary Clinton of going to Michigan and Wisconsin and other states in 2016. Says he was thankful she did not listen. Some wild tangents tonight.
"Do you think he calls her Crooked Hillary?" Trump says of Bill Clinton, asking the crowd what he calls her wife. "Maybe he just calls her Crooked."
Trump is now telling the crowd that "they call him Mayor Pete" because "nobody can pronounce his last name." Now doing the pronunciation: "Edge like the edge of a building. Boot-Edge-Edge." Says he isn't going to attack Buttigieg because he wants him to win.
...Americans will show up by the tens of millions next year to vote Pelosi the hell out of office," Trump says.
...He's not exactly the best looking guy we've ever seen," Trump said of Schiff.
"I could have Barron Trump go into Central Park and he'd get a crowd," Trump says, adding he'd get a bigger crowd that "Crazy Pocahontas" got in Manhattan.
Is Barron Trump now fair game? How do you think he'll feel going to school tomorrow? I think most kids would be beyond embarrassed and humiliated. In fact, shouldn't Donald Trump be home tonight reassuring Barron?)
Trump is repeatedly talking about Republican unity. "I'm not worried," he says. Says Republicans are sticking together like never before to back him.
Trump says Joe Biden has roundtables instead of rallies because he can only get "93 people" at a speech. Then says 20,000 people were outside trying to get in his speech but they told them to go home. (The pool did not see that.)
It's 941 pm in Michigan, and we are past toilets and tariffs and sinks and showers and now onto globalists. "Globalists are so passe," he says. Some in crowd are beginning to leave.
This is the mentality of the man that is sitting in the Oval Office. Just my opinion: He sounds deranged and dangerous. What leader of this country has ever attacked his opponents with such uncouth verbal attacks on their looks, their hair, their character? Just as mystifying is the number of under-informed, marginalized, predominantly white rural voters who applaud his tactics and the number of wealthy Republicans who put up with his garbage because they think he'll be good for their bank accounts.
Question: Will any of his staff have the backbone to quit tomorrow because of the impeachment? I doubt it.
Final thought: 398 days left and counting.
Update 10:51 pm MT: Thanks to Josh Dawsey for teaching me a new word tonight: Jeremiad. He writes of Trump's arrival back at the White House after his tirade in Michigan:
POTUS was shown a large card of the impeachment vote totals while he was riffing. “Whoa, wow,” he said, before praising Republicans for sticking with him & going on fiery jeremiads about Pelosi, Clinton, House Democrats & others. On a historic Trump day:
Wikipedia definition:
A jeremiad is a long literary work, usually in prose, but sometimes in verse, in which the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone of sustained invective, and always contains a prophecy of society's imminent downfall. Wikipedia
Sounds like too many of the Government's briefs I read on drugs - A cross between a tome, a screed and a sermon with a little nursery rhyme (e.g. Henny Penny) thrown in for good measure.
