    It was not a speech about King.

    It was a breakfast "listening" gathering he arranged to give representatives of people who self-identify as black to give him their views and make suggestions and requests as to how he can better serve their constituents.

    He listens to Real Americans, hears them clearly, and that's why he was elected.

    The political establishment only listens to their donors and the fawning MSM, and that's why they got trounced nationwide in 2014 and 2016. It's why they'll get trounced in 2018, and it's why Oregon's next governor will not be a Democrat.

    The term "great orator" is an oxymoron.

    The word's best orator was P.T. Barnum.

    Oration is the art of speaking incessantly while revealing nothing, in order to divert or deceive.

    Well, that's the only place libs learn anything about history so it's not surprising that's what they compare it to.

    No millennial who didn't google Frederick Douglas today has a clue who he was.

    Did he slip up and name Obama as one of those influential black people?

    You make a convincing case. I guess Trump is a grating orator.

    And I, I am a greater rater of great orators.

    Trumps speeches come off much like the way a friend of mine in the 3rd grader did his book reports.

    Read chapter 1 and then read the final chapter.

    Include the main characters in the introductory paragraph.
    Then ramble about shit making general statements that are unimportant but sound like you're talking about something important.
    Then in the conclusion paragraph include information you learned from the final chapter.

    Easy C!
