Foreword
Introduction by Craig Shirley to THE GREATEST SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP by President Donald J. Trump
Over the years, historians and writers have often referred to the presidential pedestal as “The Bully Pulpit.” The term was first coined by Teddy Roosevelt and, contrary to modern usage, means a wonderful platform; a profound and powerful tool by which a President may articulate a grand vision for the future and prosperity of our nation. A message that cannot be corrupted or twisted by pundits or publications who often believe the right to communicate directly to all Americans is solely their privilege. Indeed, when the New York Times reported on his usage of the term, they were not pleased:
"A man may be temperamentally fond of a fight, even of vulgar brawls, but most men have a sobering sense that the power and responsibility of a high office involve the obligation of dignity. Mr. Roosevelt was not sobered, he was not repressed, he was turned loose. His immense egotism exalted in the possession of an office that brought him into the eye of millions and he was apparently intoxicated with the sense of his power to speak and act."
The shallow and superficial and collectivist New York Times bashing a Republican president? What a surprise.
Some things never change.
It’s vitally important that each of us — including presidents — have a chance to speak out for ourselves and not rely on the corrupt filter of the Washington Post or NBC, just as the Framers intended in 1787 when they wrote the Constitution. Then, they saw the pamphleteers and broadsheets of the era as valuable allies of the American people. No longer. The national media is mostly the enemy, making presidential speeches even more important.
The Bully Pulpit is a powerful tool for those leaders with the foresight to recognize its power. Leaders who don't, like Jimmy Carter have only squeaked out from this podium simply because they did not understand presidential power. Who can forget the now notorious “Malaise Speech” by Carter blaming Americans for high inflation and all the other problems which America faced in that steamy, hot summer of 1979?
Other presidents who rightly roared over the years include Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. They may not have always been right — as FDR was incorrect about the Great Depression needing more government regulations — but they spoke with verve and conviction.
And FDR was right about the threats from Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan.
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke often of the presidency as a “Bully Pulpit.” The president has the rare ability to speak to the nation at will and to disseminate information supporting his point of view, as when the old Bull Moose pointed out, in his speech on the six duties of American citizenship, long before he was president. They included the “Big Stick” foreign policy as well and noting that Americans should be good people and, especially, acting as a political watchdog over the system. Great presidents think great thoughts even before they become president. Donald Trump was such a watchdog, as when he took on the liberals of the high-tech industry, who are a direct threat to the American way of life.
Some presidents — like Lyndon Johnson — confuse the Bully Pulpit with the pulpit of a bully. He was a small man, and as a result, a bully.
Other presidents evolved in office. Men such as Abraham Lincoln, Harry Truman and John Kennedy all developed and “grew” in office. The Abraham Lincoln of 1861 was not the Abraham Lincoln of 1865 when he appealed to the better angels of our nature. He’d gone from a hack politician who won the presidency with a mere plurality to one of our most important presidents. JFK blundered badly in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba of 1961 but performed magnificently in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Truman was over his head in 1946 but was commanding the seas by 1950.
Sometimes presidents suffer for using the executive podium, as in the many cases of Richard Nixon, who only seemed to make the Watergate scandal even worse, as he did when he blundered by saying, “The American people need to know if their president is a crook. Well I am not a crook.” At the time, no one was accusing Nixon of being a crook. He was pleading his innocence when no one was accusing him of being guilty. Nixon had a history of flying off the handle, as he did when he once said to the media in the third person, they “won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.”
Others like Reagan were more surefooted. Reagan was a reader, a writer, a thinker and a listener. He wrote many of his own speeches even as he had the best speechwriters in the history of the presidency. They came up with phrases such as “tear down this wall!” His Farewell Address, ranked with Washington’s and Dwight Eisenhower’s as the best farewell remarks in the history of the presidency by historians.
The Constitution established a relatively weak Chief Executive. The Framers were understandably fearful of granting too much power to one man, having just been the victims of King George II and King George III. This was made clear in the Federalist Papers when Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay made the case against the Articles of Confederation, and for a new constitution, as they did in Federalist 59 and 70. They argued for the need for a stronger, central government but also argued for the need to regulate the presidency. The greatest power the president exercises with regularity is the power to persuade Congress and the American people that his agenda should be implemented. Over the course of the twentieth century, technology has permitted the president’s words to move faster, not just to the American people but around the world.
Donald Trump is an historical anomaly. He is the first person to be elected to the presidency without having served in government or the military. However, he has understood the “bully pulpit” better than most career politicians. Mr. Trump emerged in the New York media as a brash, second-generation real estate developer. His projects were proclaimed to be the biggest and the best in the greatest city in the world. He was used to getting things done and leap frogging over bureaucracy. Over time, he became a media celebrity. He parlayed his business acumen and showmanship into the hit reality television show, “The Apprentice.” His demands for accountability and swift terminations with “You’re Fired!” gave a preview into his Administration.
On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump famously “descended the escalator” in Trump Tower in New York to announce his seemingly longshot candidacy for the presidency. He began the speech by commenting on the size of the crowd. He immediately listed ways in which the United States was losing to both China and Japan. One of his most controversial statements was “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” And rightly pointing out those problems Washington politicians sweep with regularity under the nation’s rug. He was refreshing in his frankness, talking about things that others ducked.
This book is a compilation of President Donald Trump’s best presidential speeches. Trump is sui generis; Latin for unique or one’s own class.
I am known for being a Reagan biographer and presidential historian and I find Trump’s take on the conservative philosophy, Republicanism and America interesting. People don’t always agree with him, but at least he gets them thinking. Is he a reader of the philosophy of John Locke? No. Does he feel conservatism instinctively? The answer is a resounding “yes.” He says what’s on his mind, much like Harry Truman. Truman suffered in the short term for his bluntness, but now ranks firmly in the second tier of American presidents. And he had to follow Roosevelt!
Trump is blunt spoken in an era of false niceties. Many are sick of the false platitudes of the mainstream media. Instead, he would like the words of Thomas Paine in Common Sense. Now is the time to try peoples’ souls. Today, we have collectivist politicians telling us that more taxes and more regulation will lead to more prosperity. We have collectivist politicians telling us that reducing police forces will result in less crime. Yeah, and 2 plus 2 equals 5. Trump is like a breath of fresh air bring common sense to the national debate.
Right from the beginning, Trump took the bull by the horns, saying forthrightly in his Inaugural address, “We the citizens of America are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people. Together we will determine the course of America, and the world, for many, many years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships, but we will get the job done.” He was making clear the time of the Obama celebrity-hood was over and it was time to get this nation moving again.
Later, he said, “I’m calling on all members of Congress to put the safety of the American people first.” One can argue if this is the proper role of the national government except in times of national crisis, but one cannot argue intent.
And who can argue with the results? A booming economy, peace breaking out in the Middle East, standing up to Communist China, the border crisis mostly healed, a vaccine found for the Chinese inspired Wuhan plague which killed millions of our fellow Americans, our military strength restored.
Trump will never be known as a great speechifier like Kennedy or “The Great Communicator” Reagan, but he did communicate important thoughts. Trump talked about a secure border, as did Reagan. Trump talked about the need to get this country moving again, as did JFK. Trump talked about cleaning up Washington, a worthy goal. Maybe the establishment has some things twisted. Maybe it is that Donald Trump didn’t talk about things so farfetched, maybe it is the establishment that has become so farfetched.
Maybe Trump was talking about some good old-fashioned common sense that this nation has gotten away from and that we desperately need to hear again.
Here are some of Trump’s best speeches. Best thoughts for we the people.
Sine die.
