What did Congressman Cline have to say about Donald Trump’s angry, defensive, unhinged, lie-filled rant of a speech Wednesday?
“Last night, President Trump delivered a strong and positive address to the nation, reflecting on a remarkable first 11 months in office. From revitalizing our economy and securing our borders to restoring American leadership at home and abroad, the President has delivered real results for hardworking families,” said [Republican Study Committee] Vice-Chair Ben Cline. “The President made it clear that this is just the beginning. There is more work ahead, and the best days for our country are still to come as we continue building a stronger, safer, and more prosperous America.”
Just the beginning, Congressman? That sounds like a threat.
As Rex Huppke wrote at USA Today:
But what should worry all of us after his brief-but-disturbing address is this: Is Trump OK? Because he appeared very much not OK. Watch the speech for yourself and ask if he seems like a man of sound mind.
Wouldn’t any honest and rational person be asking the same thing? I’d like to believe Cline is asking himself that question, even if he’s too much of a coward to say so publicly.
