I kind of get the person who chanted "USA" a few days after 9/11 while giving props to firefighters and first responders. But chanting it at a SOTU about scary socialists etc in 2019 is just :ohno:

This is the Kushner/Ivanka part of the speech, so in addition to talking about anti-semitism, they have to revisit WWII all over again to mention concentration camps and liberating would-be holocaust victims.

It makes no sense chronologically, but it makes a lot of sense if this speech was hammered together by various writers based on ghostwriter rather than by topic or timeline.

That whole part was def Kushner, but Steve Miller must've wrote the whole other part. Considering the whole white supremacist bent to it.


Even as a speech looking at it apolitically, it was loving horrendous. Way too many metaphors or similes, way too many guests, way too many different topics. And a little sentence here or there about a random topic like throwing in stupidshit how about school choice or abortions was a really dumb decision.
