The speaker argues that “there is no way we are going to allow a con artist to take over the conservative movement,” claiming Donald Trump is a con artist and “all bluster, very little substance.” They say Trump is disgraceful for allegedly “pimp[ing] out our proud servicemen and women” to the Prince of Saudi Arabia, and therefore “unfit to serve as our commander in chief.” The speaker addresses Trump supporters directly, saying they do not know who they are or why they support him.
They call Trump a “bully” and criticize him for feeding a narrative of anger, bitterness, and frustration. The speaker references Trump saying John McCain “isn’t a war hero,” and says McCain sought “his own five military deferments.” They claim the Constitution requires Congress’s express consent for going to war and frames Trump as unfit on that basis.
The speaker asserts Trump has “no ideas of any substance” on important issues, including “the nuclear codes of the United States,” calling Trump “erratic.” They describe him as “race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.” They also claim “The military isn’t even gonna follow his orders,” noting that the Trump campaign “was forced to change their position” to try to change the law so “the military can operate within the law.”
They further describe Trump as a “kook” and “crazy” and say that even if there are not many “outright Nazis,” there are “plenty of cowards and bootlickers.” They warn about the consequences of Trump encouraging wrongdoing, saying Trump says things like “Go ahead and kill the families… torture… go further than waterboarding,” and that it is “not clear” Trump will have anyone’s back if people follow or do not follow those orders.
The speaker argues Trump is “oftentimes about Donald Trump,” contrasts competing claims using “Today, do you believe Donald Trump… Or do you believe that woman on that tape?” They say Trump “doesn’t represent my party” or “the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.”
They also allege Trump supporters were told “to basically beat up the people who are in the crowd and he’ll pay their legal fees.” The speaker claims there is “definitely” an element of Trump support based on “racism or xenophobia,” and says service members should not be treated as “prostitutes” or “pimp[ed].”
They conclude by saying they “can’t stomach Trump,” calling him “noxious,” claiming he is leading the “white working class to a very dark place,” and stating that regardless of the election outcome, many on the right, in the media, and voters will have to explain and justify how they “fell into this trap” of supporting Trump.
