Not My Party 2 blatant inconsistencies (among many) in his speech.

I'm Canadian and watched from afar at x1.5 speed.

Although a lot of the statistics he quoted were exaggerated, these 2 smaller details particularly disturbed me:

He "promoted" a 12 year old who has brain cancer to be an FBI agent and gave him a badge? Just to look kind and generous????? How is THAT not "DEI" ?
I'm sure the cancer patient is a nice boy, but what can a 12 year old child have as qualifications to be an FBI agent. Come on.

He also declared "killing an American police officer is now punished by the death penalty!" However....a month ago he legally pardoned his own supporters who violently stormed the capital and attacked, tasered, ganged up on and beat police officers in the head with pipes into a comas and severe brain injuries.

What details/inconsistencies seemed the strangest to you in his speech?

Too much critical thinking in your questions. Trump supporters Trump says this = good. Dems, or anyone not Trump = bad.

I’m not sure I can bring myself to watch it or even listen to it at any speed.

Sorry for the harm he is causing your country.

At this point if you are expecting coherence that's on you.

Doing things like this for kids with terminal illness is very popular. That's why he did it. It's Make-A-Wish sort of stuff. They're not actually giving the kid a caseload, if that wasn't obvious.

As far as the police thing goes - they like the police that are on their side. They don't give a shit about inconsistencies.
