Like the one I made four years ago, here's a scoring for all the negative mentions in Trump's latest rally. This is so you can get a clear idea of who he considers the enemy.
Whom should you hate?
A Donald Trump scorecard.

7:22
"He doesn’t have a clue. He doesn’t even know. He doesn’t know he is destroying it. He has no clue. He has no clue, like with the documents hoax. How about that? He’s not competent to stand trial, but he’s allowed to be the president."

"That’s what they’re doing. They are stopping it. If they use their genius… Because they are a genius at cheating at elections and things, but they’re not a genius on policy or common sense."
36:01
"When you look at the people that are being allowed to come all over the world, they’re emptying their prisons. They’re emptying their mental institutions into the United States of America"
40:20
"They’re probably thinking they can vote, but they cheat. So they don’t really have to do that. They can do it without doing it, because they cheat so much."

Once again, the clear winner is Joe Biden. No surprise there. Gotta stay on target. He also hammered on illegal immigration, painting a picture of a full-scale invasion of drooling dark-skinned maniacs, then parading the family of Laken Riley out. This just after giving a speech a few weeks ago where he took credit for single-handedly sabotaging a massive border reform bill.
Sometimes I really don't understand it. I mean, in a case like this, you have to work, hard, at being ignorant enough to believe him when he says he did the right thing. Like, you have to steer carefully around all sorts of information to the contrary, coming at you from multiple directions. And yet...
Things I did find surprising:
- Four years ago he excoriated the Black Lives Matter movement, with 14 mentions, making it the fifth-ranked subject on the list. This time he did not mention it at all. There's no better indication that he's trying to learn from his mistakes.
- He also doesn't bother ranting about "fake news" any more. They took second place on the list during his last run. Now I suppose fake news is old news.
- He very openly slandered the woman who sued him and won and then sued him again for slandering her, and won again. He also slandered the judge who presided in the case. That does not seem wise.
Also, I should note here that, like the last speech I did, this one contained less than one minute devoted to concrete policy. The breakdown of that was this:
- Drug dealers who "cause the death of more than 500 people" should be put to death.
- Schools with mandatory vaccination or masking policies should have their funding cut.
- The southern border should be made an impenetrable barrier, by any means necessary, whatever the cost.
- Tariffs should be greatly increased.
- You're all getting tax cuts.
That's your platform. That's what you get.
Oh, and, I have a new pet theory: Trump isn't popular because of angry young white men. He's popular because of old, frightened Boomers, who no longer understand the world and are staring death in the face, now that the Silent Generation isn't around to take care of their shit anymore.
