This is NOT a speech for Vets. Trump is reciting his talking points and using vets for optics

So the Trumpers were saying that Trump had another "Yuuuuuge" speech to give today -- this time to vets, and that it would be very detailed regarding Trump's foreign policy ideas and plans for vets.

That is an absolute joke, and that was a lie to assemble a group of vets, many of them very elderly, so that Trump can use them for optics. His speech is just a regurgitation of his rally speeches, his new lines about how he will save African-Americans, and lines from his anti-immigrant speech last night. Even the vets are responding very tepidly. He seems to think that he should be getting more applause than he is as he keeps pausing.

Oh yeah, his one big proposal: kids have to say the pledge of allegiance. There you go vets! See what I did for you?!

What a horrible speech! Total waste of time for those vets! Trump idiot on Fox is trying to argue how important Trump's patriotism is -- you know, forced patriotism for all. Martha MacCallum is easily the stupidest person on Fox. She is saying that Trump is great because he can talk about other people. Not joking.
