(5)One great thing about Trump is that he embodies American exceptionalism. You wouldn't meet a character like him in any other country. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and also the kick-ass approach to politics that the GOP desperately needs now #realhistoryathome
(2)Reagan's speeches were substantive in making the case for American freedom versus Soviet tyranny. Read his "evil empire" speech, for instance, and you learn a lot about what makes America unique and also about how socialist regimes are antithetical to that #realhistoryathome
(6)But America is based on the idea that we're equal because we're the same in God's eyes. We're equal in human dignity and in possessing the same rights. Contrast Orwell on socialism: "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others" #realhistoryathome
(1) I want to highlight two things here: first, the spirit of invention and second, the moral ideal of equality given by our Creator #realhistoryathome
(1) I wanted to write a book, and make a movie, making the case for a rational patriotism. I was inspired by Edmund Burke's statement, "To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely." #realhistoryathome
(1) Equality, like freedom, is a term that requires definition and clarification. Equal in what sense? Here's Aristotle, "It is true that justice is equality, but not for all, only for those who are equal." Enigmatic! What can he possibly mean? #realhistoryathome
(6)In the end, I'm proud of all the films. And of course I'm in the throes of editing a new one that will be out this summer. Fortunately we did our last big shoot in March, right before the shutdown. Watch for that one! #realhistoryathome
(1)America has changed a lot since I did my first movie on Obama in 2012, and even since this America film in 2014. My later movies, however, Hillary's America and Death of a Nation, reflect that change. #realhistoryathome
I have presented you with a very good opportunity to "get me" on any factual or logical issue in four movies and innumerable books. But you can't. And what's so revealing is that you won't even try. This is the very best you can do. Pathetic! #realhistoryathome
There was an opportunity to respond to the virus in an exceptional way. How? 1. Deploy American innovation and technological genius to fight it 2. Affirm our civil liberties even as other countries succumb to high degrees of social control and herd conformity #realhistoryathome
