Did all of non-Fox America just become united?

The president had one overriding message at his rally in Phoenix Tuesday night – which is that he loves all Americans.

RELATED: Trump’s Afghanistan speech sounded incredibly familiar

He even read from a printed transcript of himself saying just that on three prior occasions after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia and he not only quoted himself expressing his love for all Americans but he reminded us that he has rejected, by name, the hate groups who do not love all Americans.

“I got the white supremacist, the neo-Nazis. I got ’em all in there,” he said.

He especially can’t figure out why the elites in Washington won’t take him seriously.

“I always hear about the elite. I went to better schools than they did. I was a better student than they were. I live in a bigger, more beautiful apartment. And I live in the White House too, which is really great.”

The elites just don’t seem to get it. They keep calling him divisive.

And yet, if you listen, you could hear all the love in the room, especially when the crowd began chanting “CNN sucks.”

Of course, the non-Fox media didn’t appreciate that.

“I’m just going to speak from the heart here. What we have witnessed is a total eclipse of the facts,” CNN’s Don Lemon said.

Lemon said Trump actually misquoted himself and came across as unhinged.

That was followed by former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper who said: “I worry about, frankly, you know, the access to nuclear codes…”

At which point all of non-Fox America looked at the screen and said HOLY [expletive deleted].

Which does bring the country together in a way.

Ross: Are we killing car culture? Or is car culture killing the US?

I don’t think the question is whether we're going to "kill" our car culture. The real question is can we stop our car culture from killing the U.S.?
