Trump hasn't been the president in two years. It's time to take personal responsibility.

Like watching the beginning of a movie where a country collapses into a dystopian military nightmare.

This is gaslighting on a national scale.

No sane person can write this speech without recognizing their own hypocrisy.

I am from Germany and this speech reminds me of many documentaries I was shown in school about a time when Germany did many things wrong. How can you so carelessly and coldly divide a whole nation like that. What a broken time we are living in !

[ArturioR]

This is the most divisive speech ever...WTF sounds like desperation...

[red]

That backdrop makes him look like a dictator lol.

This had to be the most disturbing and divisive speech by a president of all time. He said all Americans are equal while he condemns half of them. Wow.

“We have to be united! Except for the other half of the country, they’re our biggest threat.”

[edwardtobiasen]

HE'S TALKING ABOUT POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN FRONT OF THE COLOR THAT PROMOTES VIOLENCE

[sturdythorpe]

Never let a pastor or a politician tell you to hate someone.

Trying to change the focus to ignore all poor decisions of this admin

[ikkhltd]

This speech literally looks like a clip from V for Vendetta.

[joelgrosschmidt]

It was today I became certain that a civil war will not be avoided

[jordanfriesen]

Since he is talking about his political opponent, he’s literally saying that democracy is a threat to democracy. Just an utter fool.

[TheRickRoller]

It's a great speech! For a sith lord...

Canada and the USA need drastic change. The peoples patience is running out.
