Conservative talk show host legend Rush Limbaugh noticed one thing about President Donald J. Trump’s speech to Congress on Tuesday night that everyone missed.
With his twenty million listeners, Rush discussed the part of the speech where Trump mentioned his meeting with Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister. During the meeting, the two leaders discussed policies to help women to assist female entrepreneurs and business owners.
Rush noted that the camera showed two female Democrat senators – Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren – who looked shocked that Trump would have held such a meeting.
Limbaugh noticed this is the first time these insulated Democrats have actually heard what Trump is all about:
I think the Democrats in that chamber may for the first time actually have heard Donald Trump say what he thinks and believes. I think they are so devoted to their media, I don’t think they spent much time actually watching Trump rallies, I don’t think they spent much time listening to what Trump was saying at his rallies, because if they had, there would not be this degree of anger and shock and disbelief.
But we know how cocooned these people are. We know how removed they are. They live in their own bubble, and they live in a bubble that has very thick boundaries to protect them from anything they disagree with. They don’t expose themselves to things they don’t agree with; they just characterize it based on their own bigotry and their own prejudice. And as the Democrats were shown on TV last night in these sporadic moments when the camera cut to ’em, yes, I noticed them sitting on their hands, and I noticed them looking really childish.
Rush added:
I mean, how can you not applaud proposals to enrich American life? How can you not applaud proposals to create jobs? How can you not applaud proposals to help people earn more money? But they didn’t applaud anything. Well, maybe a couple things. I forget. Chuck Schumer, two things. But they are a party that is disintegrating before our eyes — and, yes, the response that they provided to this is the kicker, is the piece de resistance which we’ll get to in due course.
Then he provided examples from his own life, showing how liberals can tune out too quickly. When critics finally listen to what he has to say, they are often shocked:
In this instance, I have gone… For 30 years of this program, you’ve heard people call here who say they only discovered me in the last year, two years ago, and they were shocked and stunned. They listened. They never listened before’ they only knew what was said about me in the media and my liberal critics, and they finally listened, and they were shocked that they didn’t hear any of the stuff that they thought I was. And I think there was some of that going on in the House chamber last night. Now, you may think this is ridiculous, and you may think it’s not possible that the highest ranking elected Democrats have never taken the time to actually listen to Donald Trump.
It was interesting to see Trump pull away from his daily attacks at the biased media, and focus directly on the problems America faces after eight years of Barack Obama’s disastrous administration.
Trump’s speech went on to be applauded by pundits on both sides of the aisle who were impressed by Trump’s bold conservative agenda.
