So here it begins. The whole set up is just frankly, weird.  Instead of leaving the stage to sit down like any normal person would, Trump decides to linger. He stands beside Palin still and blank, only breaking into expression to give up a thumbs up or a smile when Palin says something that he agrees with.

 

Palin cautiously transitions into what it was that made her endorse Trump rather than all the other, equally bloodthirsty and selfish Republican candidates. In her words, "He was from the private sector, not a politician- can I get a hallelujah! Where, in the private sector, you actually have to balance budgets in order to prioritize, to keep the main thing, the main thing, and he knows the main thing: a president is to keep us safe economically and militarily. He knows the main thing, and he knows how to lead the charge. So troops, hang in there, because help’s on the way because he, better than anyone, isn’t he known for being able to command, fire!"

 

...Right. I can just envisage it now, once "Make America Great Again" has done it's time, Trump's new slogan will be: "Donald Trump, he knows the main thing." 

 

“Trump’s candidacy, it has exposed not just that tragic ramifications of that betrayal of the transformation of our country, but too, he has exposed the complicity on both sides of the aisle that has enabled it, OK?”

 

OK then...

 

Even Trump looks confused now. As much as you may hate his hateful, sexist, racist (I could go on...) rhetoric, at least it's coherent. Right now, all this speech is all Palin and no bloody sense. 

 

Palin carries on fawning over Trump a bit more, then begins spinning a few conspiracy theories about how the Republican establishment wants him to disappear and how the Democrats would never "eat their own."  Given, the traditional Republicans don't want Trump to be their nominee (why would anyone?) but to say that the Democrats would never "eat their own" is just simply incorrect. In fact, in 2008 the Democratic party split in half during their primary. If you do actually read the news unlike Palin, you'd also remember that there was even talk of a brokered convention that very year. 

 

She continues with her bizarre ramblings then dawns upon this gem “The self-made success of his, you know that he doesn’t get his power, his high, off of OPM, other people’s money, like a lot of dopes in Washington do. They’re addicted to OPM, where they take other people’s money, and then their high is getting to redistribute it, right?” At firs,t I thought Palin was referring to Opium, which could very well be the cause for  this truly odd speech. 

 

At this point, Trump looks off stage. Is he looking for an escape? Most probably. It's too late now, Trump. You're in this for the long run. 

 

“Now, finally friends, I want you to try to picture this, it’s a nice thing to picture. Exactly one year from tomorrow, former president Barack Obama. He packs up the teleprompters and the selfie-sticks, and the Greek columns, and all that hopey, changey stuff and he heads on back to Chicago, where I’m sure he can find some community there to organize again. There, he can finally look up, President Obama will be able to look up, and there, over his head, he’ll be able to see that shining, towering, Trump tower. Yes, Barack, he built that, and that says a lot. Iowa, you say a lot, being here tonight, supporting the right man who will allow you to make America great again. God bless you! God bless the United States of America and our next president of the United States, Donald J Trump!”

 

I am completely baffled as to why Sarah Palin has not formed any new insults to throw at Barack Obama. This man has been a two-term president, and has overseen the passage of major legislations, such as the Affordable Care Act- and all she can do its mock him for working as a community organiser. Low blow Palin, low blow. 

 

It has never been successful to mock Obama for helping people in need. You'd be better off joking about plenty of other things, but mocking the very idea of human kindness? Obama is 2-0 up againts these baffoons. 

 

Really, this was all inevitable. No two people on this planet seem less oncerned with criticism and more content with themselves. To many, there was nothing wrong with Sarah Palin's speech. It probably made perfect sense. Sarah Palin has not disappeared because her fans haven't either. The marriage of Trump and Palin is simply the unification of a movement that has been gaining steam in the U.S.A ever since the election of George Bush.
