Trumps Polish Speech

[fender62]

listening to his speech, he used a lot of innuendo on various topics, one that stood out was the liberal elite who seem to be governing parts of europe, i think he means merkel macron junker etc, and that countries will loose their identity, with mass migration from africa dilution if you like and possibly civil unrest, what do other abers think.

just how West is West?

West of England? West of the USA? West of China? and so on and so forth

Trump is all over the place. Tells Russia to stop destabilising Ukraine, for example. Bravo there, but I wouldn't mind betting he'll change his time when he meets Putin.
And then change it back again.
He seems to agree with whoever it is he's spoken to last.
One just has to hope there are some sensible people behind the scenes.

oh dear I thought that was gonna be //typo on a pad im using in a moving car...oh dear just gone into the back of a car and demolished a three year old - oops ! // [ but it wasnt ]

I listened to the whole speech and thought the Polish applause was luke warm. Pauses for rapturous applause as in Amerikee which didnt come.He worked his audience as a midwest adoring audience as at home and it didnt work. Mentioning the Polish uprising - which failed. ( My father met Colonel Michaelowski-Bor in a POW camp in 1945 just in passing)
Eevarnka introduced her husband weez the words - "the security of the American peeble is first in his mind"
and I thought "Christ when he goes he will take all the American troops with him, and poland can go to hell." I wondered if the Poles thought that too . North Korea was dragged in - and I thought 'does he know he is in Poland?'
The polish mortality WW2 of 200 per thousand ( 20%) was mentioned altho I thought it was higher ( 25%). He said '6 m Jews died and countless others in the camps' ( erm another 6 m actually)

there were countless non sequiturs ( a la AB) - Poland has been partitioned three times and ya gartta fight for your independence - and I thought the poles did and lost - and that was coupled with threats of American withdrawal from Europe
I thought o god this must be magic to Polish ears....

I paid special attention as Trumpers has hailed it as a speech as important as Kennedy's Ich bin ein Berliner speech
It wasnt

if that was an expected rapturous welcome - I dont think he will come to London

( long post to skip but s/o did ask )

// "Then, 19 years later in 1939, you were invaded yet again, this time by Nazi Germany from the west and the Soviet Union from the east. That's trouble. That's touoh." // trump via JIm

yeah I heard that and thought christ he has just signalled during the campaign that he will with draw from NATO - oopsie will he reverse his position - nope he told them to pay up
and "Poland sensbile people have just bought american patriot missiles " - jesus that will make the Poles cheer ....

no once was enough thank you

Trumps Polish speech lacks polish

fits the bill - recycled from Jimmy Carter - the interpreter translated JC: The president of the US loves Poland.....as
The president of the US wishes to have carnal knowledge of Poland

The audience jerked up and the interpreter was repatriated .....

Re. Naomi - Europe can cope with a resurgence of Christianity (certainly the modern, tolerant approach which prevails these days) - but not with the imposition of an alien religion.

The whole thing reminders me of a war time rally, he could be singing the Birdie Song and the crowd would have clapped and cheered on cue ,.

[Peter Pedant]

I thought there was a cheer master in the background shouting in Polish - cheer now you buzards - thats what we bussed you in for

( apparently happened in WW2 -George VI visited north africa and told a few jokes in his speech to the troops....or Hitchin or somewhere)
