Well, it was a classic Trumpism. Mostly vague, lots of partial sentences, symbol-loaded words with some words hard to interpret.

But yes, Trump does not care about others, so maybe he focused on just the next four years, and just ignored whatever might come afterwards. He don't have a plan, he do things by impulse and instinct.

However, he must be held to the same standards as other candidates, and he must be called out - not given a free pass - when he says things like this.

It's a good observation that he talk to their hearts, not their ears. I.e he doesn't talk in logic sentences that can be analysed, but he's a virtual orchestra of emotional dog vistles.

His speeches are gish gallops of half-baked sentences, and hard to analyse. It is like religious or socio-political movements.

But a democratic republic is about discussing ideas and finding solutions, not an wrestling ring for 'good' and 'evil'.

And the press show notice.
