#Trump Uses Speech at #DOJ to Air Bitter #Grievances Against His Enemies
Trump veered from his prepared remarks to launch into a bitter spiel in which he lashed out at lawyers & former prosecutors BY NAME in a venue dedicated to the #impartial administration of #justice.

The New York Times · In Speech to Justice Dept., Trump Airs Grievances Against His Enemies
Continued thread
…The push appears intended to capitalize on #Trump’s #transactional approach to #clemency. Trump favors #pardon seekers w/connections to him—either personally or through lawyers & lobbyists—& claims of *prosecutorial misconduct* [perceived persecution] that echo his own #grievances about the cases against him.
If you clench your teeth with religious #grievances the words #tourism and #terrorism sound the same. Try it.
‘Tourism’ in #Trump #Gaza - the imagined ‘Riviera’ of the #MiddleEast - would be like ‘tourism’ in Luxor, #Egypt on 17 November, 1997. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxor_massacre

With his opening lines that “we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” #Trump plunges into a list of #grievances, describing America as a nation willing to spend “in the defense of foreign borders” — read: #Ukraine — “but refuses to defend American borders.”
This is a redux of his 2017 “American Carnage” address: He describes America as a catastrophic mess of crime & chaos.
He speaks of “annihilation” & disparages the current government — w/ #Biden sitting nearby.

No recognition of the steady concentration of wealth in the hands of a randomly selected few by any organisation powerful enough to counteract it, let alone any attempt to actually tax it back.

Online proof of identity not being treated as a public service, and no regulation around social media recognizing and limiting the natural monopolies they create. Basically, no government provision of internet entities as a commons paid for by taxes.
Another year where feeding antibiotics to livestock to increase the meat yield is treated as fine, despite most modern medicine, and all surgery, being based on the existence of effective antibiotics. All while the *discoverer of antibiotics while discovering antibiotics* showed how microbes develop resistance due to prolonged low exposure.
Trump’s closing rally at #Madison #Square #Garden on the second to last Sunday before the election was a release of #rage at a political and legal system that impeached, indicted and convicted him,
a vivid and at times #racist display of the dark energy animating the #MAGA movement.
A comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a “floating island of #garbage,” then mocked
Hispanics as failing to use birth control,
Jews as cheap and
Palestinians as rock-throwers,
and called out a Black man in the audience with a reference to #watermelon.
Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with “pimp handlers.”
A third called her “the Antichrist.”
And the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked Ms. Harris
— the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father
— with a made-up ethnicity, saying she was vying to become “the first Samoan-Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.”
By the time the former president himself took the stage, an event billed as delivering the closing message of his campaign,
with nine days left in a tossup race, had instead become a carnival of #grievances, #misogyny and #racism.

When he does campaign events, he makes odd choices of venue: [Yesterday], he appear[ed] in #NewYork’s Nassau County. New York State has not voted #Republican for president since 1984. In 2020, Trump won 38% of the NY vote. Yet Trump has convinced himself, or somebody has convinced him, that this year he might be competitive in NY.

The day before that, the Secret Service had fired upon a man w/a rifle near #Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. The apparent assassination attempt drove the headlines, but beneath the story was the reality that a candidate for president took a day off to #golf only 50 days before #Election Day.
Trump golfs a lot, & #campaigns surprisingly infrequently.

So here’s my second draft: What we’ve been seeing from Trump-Vance is not the behavior of a winning campaign.
The day before #JDVance tweeted at me, #Trump was livestreaming to promote a dubious new #cryptocurrency venture. That same day, he gave an interview to the #ConspiracyTheorist Wayne Allyn Root in which Trump reverted to old form to denounce mail-in voting because the US Postal Service could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly.
Continued thread
On Sept 14, he was mixing it up in the X comments w/a reporter for The Intercept & the host of an online talk show.
In other words, to have #JDVance as your own personal reply guy is not such an accomplishment.
But it raises the question of how a nominee for vice president has so much time on his hands. Can you imagine, say, #DickCheney, scrolling through his mentions, getting irritated, & firing off a retort? Neither can I.

MSNBC · 'Unhinged': Harris-Walz campaign slams Trump's constant 'airing of grievances'
Richard Luscombe says,
"Trump, in his speech on Tuesday, avoided mention of Project 2025 or his policy on abortion."
But he *did* talk about another supremely important subject — bacon — stating,
“We don’t eat bacon any more."
Note the levels of rhetorical manipulation going on here: Biden has made prices so high we can't afford bacon; and they're taking our meat away from us. Hits all the aggrieved-men bases.

Above and beyond that, they are deeply inconsistent with claims that one follows Jesus. To brand Christian faith in the US with those words – grievances, resentment, anger, hate — how shameful. How tragic. What a shocking betrayal of the Christian gospels.
And for Donald Trump?!
Perhaps Trump is showing us who white evangelicals have been for a very long time, and what they have been about for a very long time.

Their claims about owning the nation because "God" gave it to them are invalid on the face of it. Anyone, any group, pressing such a claim should be told, in a pluralistic, secular democracy that it's an invalid claim.
This is not disrespect. It's speaking truth.
So the grievances and resentment and anger and hate white evangelicals feel, which make them choose Trump, are unwarranted and unmerited responses.
