The Trump Rally in Minneapolis

President Trump held a rally in Minnesota this evening.  It was a quintessential Trump performance.  For those who watched the speech (which was carried live on some cable networks), Trump gave a clear explanation of his views on removing US troops from the Middle East.  He also expounded on the corruption of the Washington swamp and its attacks on him and his administration.  He explained in a very clear way just why Old Joe Biden has such a problem given the fact that his son appears to have been the conduit for both China and Ukraine buying influence with Biden.  Trump also spoke about a long list of items, as he usually does at these rallies.

The key takeaway from the speech, though, is that once again, it was fun to watch Trump.  This was not a boring speech from a candidate who drones on and on.  It was performance art.  And it was very persuasive.

No doubt the coverage of the speech will be distorted, but for the millions who watched, its message was clear.
