he said i ve met all the great men of the world, the industrialists, the kings and the emperors but i met no man who s ever had more of the qualities of greatness and goodness than abraham lincoln. and donald trump has proven, chiefly with his twitter account, that he is quite the oppositional virtues to the ones described with the about lincoln. and so the cruelty, mocking disabled people, the pain inflicted on the mother of an american hero, a gold star mother, the random daily small acts of cruelty that emanate from the twitter account. he has debased our political dialogue, our political culture in this country. he has made the culture more vile, more mean, more small and i hope that and i m happy she said it and i m happy we get to talk about it because what he has done with that twitter account over the course of this campaign is horrendous. 30 seconds.
come on. now, i want you to pay attention. if we lose focus, we could have problems. this is what s happened here during this election season. we just get stirred up for all kinds of reasons that are unnecessary. just relax. [ laughter ] now, i want to remind you what i was saying. we can t afford a commander-in-chief who insults p.o.w.s. who attacks a gold star mother. who actualy talks down to our troops, says he knows more than our generals. even a republican senator said we can t afford to give somebody
there s been no meanness, no cruelty, no smallness that has emanated from melania trump s mouth and i think that what she said today is something that everybody should pay attention to when you think about how disgusting social media is. when it comes to her husband, donald trump, i think of sherman s reflection of lincoln after his assassination. he said i ve met all the great men of the world, the industrialists, the kings and the emperors but i met no man who s ever had more of the qualities of greatness and goodness than abraham lincoln. and donald trump has proven, chiefly with his twitter account, that he is quite the oppositional virtues to the ones described with the about lincoln. and so the cruelty, mocking disabled people, the pain inflicted on the mother of an american hero, a gold star mother, the random daily small acts of cruelty that emanate from the twitter account.
culture. total ignorance of the grief of a gold star mother. time after time, then, before then, and up until now, donald trump has proven that he has neither the capacity nor the capability nor the character or the temperament for the office the highest office of this country that he seeks. so we were disappointed. mrs. khan had spoken since then at many occasions. she is very capable. but that very moment she was under such a grief because our son s picture was in the background. and she was totally unable to speak, maintaining the dignity of the occasion, she insisted that she not speak, otherwise she will fall apart at the stage. and so we had agreed that she will not speak. but since then she has spoken. but we are not disappointed in a
