To get people to mock Trump, hoping it would backfire.

It won't backfire. The Internet's desire to mock and ridicule overshadows its ability to think critically.

The MSM is trying to sell this as Trumps best speech, by the end of the day they'll be questioning whether Trump can be taken seriously.

Pity Drumpf only wore parade costumes at his "military" academy, otherwise he would have learned how not to be seen.

If it wasn't for the mangled apricot and the tiny hands, I never would have seen him.

Oh, and the made-in-China necktie, although I can't be faulted for mistaking that for other garbage.

She went to a social engagement that had all walks of life there. The younger ladies she knows that were there are all solid middle class a few upper middle class and all of them going on about who had the most expensive purse.

We got to laughing, knowing some actual rich (multi-millionaire) families and they NEVER brag about how expensive their new coach purse costs or their new car or truck costs. They will talk about all the features and the only time price is brought up is if they got it for a steal.

Just a funny observation imo.

Do something he doesn't like? He'll try to sue you until you give up as much as he can.

He does something like NOT PAY contractors? He'll tie up their lawsuits for years as he hopes they will give up.

55. It is NOT Trash !!!

Calling the background trash, yes is apropos for Mein Trumpf
but, one should do some research on the photo, this was a repost of a story on Raw Story
The speech was made at Alumisource, a respectable sized scrap metal processing facility. , not at a trash/rubbish transfer station.
The background consists of bales of Aluminum beverage cans and aluminum scrap.
Each bale of aluminum cans (UBC's) is worth approx $1,600 each. Each bale of Aluminum sheet (MLC) is worth approx. $2,000 each.
There is a major and significant difference between trash and scrap metal.
The scrap industry is not the trash industry.
It costs millions of dollars to build a proper sized scrap metal facility.
The really interesting thing about this speech and it's location, is that the majority of scrap metal generated in the U.S. is exported, and that the export market is what drives the pricing of scrap metal.
And the subject of Agent Orange's speech was against world trade.
Kinda like when McCain gave a speech pimping nuclear power plants in front of the nuke plant that had such a major melt down that it resulted in coining the phrase "China Syndrome".
