President Donald Trump went off script and off the rails Tuesday night at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, ranting about how he was the ultimate victim in the wake of the recent riots in Charlottesville, Virginia.
He attacked a number of "enemies," including the "dishonest" media for "fomenting divisions" and "trying to take away our history and our heritage." He praised CNN personality Jeffrey Lord, who was fired for tweeting a pro-Nazi salute. He restated his entire response to the violence between white supremacists and counter-protesters that left one woman dead in Charlottesville just two weeks ago. Conveniently, though, he left out the part where he posed blame on "both sides."
But that wasn't all. During his 77-minute rant, Trump touched on all sorts of subjects, including Obamacare, North Korea and its leader Kim Jong-un, trade deals, Arizona's Republican senators and illegal immigrants.

Imagine being about to be sent into a combat zone in Afghanistan, watching Trump's speech & knowing your life hinges on his decision making.
@brianklaas
There are many adjectives to sum up Trump's speech. Petty. Incoherent. Defensive. Deceptive. But maybe the most important: Unhinged.
@NickKristof
Trump should give a rally speech every week. The American people are the only force that can overcome the Swamp.

Classic Trump "rally the base" speech in Arizona. A fight back presentation designed to show he is not damaged goods.
@billoreilly
Trump's angry that the media reported exactly what he said so he held a speech to deliver a sanitized, redacted version on live television.
@jonfavs
Trump voters should be so deeply ashamed. How dare you. #Impeach

Anyone who considers this #PhoenixRally as a call for unity has cognitive dissonance beyond all imagination.

Oopsie! You forgot the "on many sides," @realDonaldTrump. #PhoenixRally

Trump praised Jeffrey Lord during #PhoenixRally. Quick reminder on why Jeff Lord was fired. #TrumpResign https://t.co/SGhg1ZVGMe

He's sick. This speech is insane. He's insane.
@joshgroban
The thing that makes me saddest, is that many of the blue collar workers Trump yells sweet nothings at have a right to be angry. He uses it.

Not watching the rally, but I am confident this is an accurate tweet: What an unhinged racist bully. His IQ is so low!
@kumailn
When you have to go on an "I'm Not A Racist Tour," @realDonaldTrump, you're a racist. #PhoenixRally

Loathsome Toad Trump...shoots his mouth off again, this time in Phoenix...as Ronald Reagan said so long ago, "There you go again."
