When Roman emperors ran out of ideas, they promised #BreadAndCircuses. Trump’s speech was full of circuses, including a lengthy celebration of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. But he’s *no* Roman emperor: He made a point of reminding the American people that his administration is providing a lot less #food to the #poor (having “lifted” 2.4 million people off #FoodStamps).
#Trump once again smeared #immigrants as violent criminals (a characterization contradicted by the data). He didn’t acknowledge the families torn apart or the avalanche of legal challenges. He didn’t once say “ #ICE.” He may be trying to distance himself, but the hate mongering continues.
