So you didn't listen/read the whole text (suprise, surprise) and after the first paragraph you zone out and start to judge Ubummer's policies and performance..... yeah that's really contributing to our discussion and not biased at all....
Obama's speech is full of gestures of reconciliation no matter how you try to twist/turn it, even if they are only symbolic or in Lawyurtalk it's in the goddamn text...
Trump's speech comes across as "screw all these douchebags sitting in the front row". It is unifying in that it promises a reckoning against Congress, federal agencies, and countries that have screwed us over for decades. Only a few tens of thousands of those are Americans, vs the other 350 million of us. And he delivers on making them reeee every single day.
"comes across as" yeah have you actually taken the time to fully watch this one? His speech is NOT calling for goddamn unity with the general American population at any point, Even W agreed. Trump just rehashed his campaign speeches and only addresses his supporters. The fact that it appeals to you makes my point even clearer..... Apart from your statement being full of biased bullshit, it is a typical "The_Donald" reply.... Donnie's speech is not in the faintest a call for unity, not even if you drown it in your biased sauce. Like his campaign rhetoric it only pushes his polarization politics.
the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness
This would be one of those "we're going SJW" examples. The freedom of scripture are not something I'd expect a secular individual to recognize as such and is pretty unrelated to Freedom in the American sense, SJWs implement a completely warped idea of equality, and trying to shoehorn "pursuit of happiness" into it... yeah, no. It is more apt to say we are promised Joy in the opposite. The overall effect comes across as "How Do You Do, Fellow Christians?"
Wait wut, this is SJW talk? Really?? , Really???, Reeeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy????? This is a goddamn clear reference to the second paragraph of the declaration of fucking independence. Your "reasoning" I really can't even ...... seriously i can't
Me is starting to finally realize you are way, way off the tracks and i'm mainly wasting my time trying to have reasonable discussions with you.ME_IRL
I was at about a third by that point, so I'd seen the first part you typed. And I'm seeing three types of declarations: common sense bare-minimum promises that never came to pass (like infrastructure), firmly solid ideals that he actively worked against (such as anti-terrorism sentiments and then going on to fund ISIL), and lawyer-speak for "we're going full SJW" which he delivered on in spades.

And I'm sorry that you typed out the last part of his speech, because I all I get are more empty platitudes.
