If we all stick together, that is us of the right shape, colour and beliefs, we'll be alright though, it's a lot harder to break a bunch of sticks than a branch.

Then tell the daily mail and the sun as they regularly run false story after false story to wind up the offended far right lot.

There's a false narrative that the 'offended' lot are left wing liberals. Many left wing people have spoken out against the 'offended' culture - see Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Bill Maher, Louis C.K, Jon Stewart, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Fry, Brian Cox - and these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
 
I listened to his speech live and was disappointed by it. It is a global podium and once every 4 years watched throughout the world. it is his chance to be statesman like, for that is now what he is, and I was hoping for words that would reflect that and dissipate my concerns about him. Be a leader. But instead, it was just a very long campaign speech, with the bonus of not being cheered or jeered, just listened to by people who were more respectful of what that speech should be than he was. To slag off the state of politics for ex amount of the last number of years, and say how much better at it hewill be, is not the time or place. He has Presidents Carter, Bush, Clinton, The Other ****, and Obama behind him. Not the time or place, that is what campaign or rally speeches or for. When I heard a couple of days ago that he wrote his speech himself, I thought 'yeah, right'. But when I heard him deliver it, I realiied soon that he actually did. That speech was designed on the basis that he knew 2 things, he had the lowest approval rating of any incoming President and he had the lowest turn out for an inauguration in 50 odd years. he reverted to type, and went on the campaign trail again.

More evidence that some Trump supporters (a) are only in it for "revenge" --- to stick it to the fellow Americans they blame for their miserable lot in life -- and (b) are glomming into a winner like some Kuala Lumpur-based rag and (c) have either never watched South Park, or have and didn't understand it.

American surprised by Trump being a **** shocker, except I'm not shocked.

No trump voter is as much of that multifunctional word as the particularly precious immigrant group Americans are expected to welcome with open arms.

I haven't heard of a trump voter argue for throwing gays off buildings, treat women as third class citizens, suicide bomb other people or execute people for "insulting" the Bible or converting from Christianity.

For all the faux outrage about trump's comments about women, it wasn't trump supporters who gang raped thousands if minor girls from other communities

And as far as racism or aby other ism goes, ask south Asians working in Arab countries or Hindus / Christian / Sikh minorities how they are treated.

In other words, you gave your wife a black eye and a broken arm, but, hey, it's not so bad since you didn't lop off her head and stuff her body into a woodchipper.

Personally I agree with this group of mouthy celebrities. If the "offended culture" is anyone's top priority -- whether you defend it or detest it -- you should take your head out of whatever ass it's buried in.

It infuriates me that people would somehow choose to vote as if this is the most important issue facing the country. Plenty did, on both sides.

He offended my 10-year old daughter and my 12-year old son. Did they "need fucking offending" too?

Like it's some great challenge to offend people. Some great effort. What blood, sweat and tears he must have poured into the work involved, eh?

Yes Trump can be offensive. But isnt it as big a problem that many, me included, see him as a buffoon?
 
He wants to bring back jobs and manufacturing to the US, let's see how his voters respond when Walmart stop manufacturing in China/ Mexico/ India/ Bangladesh/Cambodia, and prices rocket.
He wonders why Americans clamour for luxury German cars, and don't buy American, because they've shit Donald!
He wants to stop the Carnage, yet fills his cabinet either Billionaires and CEO's from the establishment, who will not want any change to the current status quo.
He's full of shit

Nothing new in his speech. Thing is....if you are a republican/conservative who believes in free markets. That speech should horrify you. He sounded like Bernie Sanders at times.

His affection for protectionism is the most troubling aspect of his political platform IMO. Protectionism kills jobs and destroys economic growth.
If Trump starts a trade war, it won't just affect US consumer prices. It could hurt consumers around the world.

We'll see how much of it is just populist rhetoric. And how much is policy. His foreign policy sounded a lot like isolationism as well.

found the real script :


So, America, we will be great again.
We, together,America can be great.
People, let's make America great.
I can make America great.
Stand up together and let's be great
America, we are great.
Currently, we are not great
United States will be great
Nevertheless, I will make it great
Trust me. I will make America great.

Already scrapped obamacare. Just don't understand the mentality of a modern country that will just throw their Ill poor on the scrap heap. By signing the end of that how many death sentences has he just signed?

Obamacare was a good idea implemented very badly. It's simply unaffordable.
