MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow said Donald Trump “luxuriated in the descriptions of the goriest things that have ever been mentioned in any State of the Union speech.”

Analyzing the president’s address — the longest State of the Union on record — Maddow pointed to his grisly rhetoric, much of it centered on stories about people killed by immigrants.

Maddow said Trump “ended up slowing down a lot and particularly slowing down markedly for long stretches of the speech that were essentially sort of violence porn.”

The president “talked about people being covered in blood, gushing blood, blood pouring out of things” and “people being on the edge of death,” she noted.

He also “went into graphic detail on a number of different people’s injuries of a various kind” as he “tried to give seemingly as much sort of gory detail as he could, talking about very bloody scenes,” she added.

It was a “sort of violently pornographic riffing that the president did very slowly throughout the back half of his speech.”

The horrific imagery, along with the record length of the address, were Maddow’s two main takeaways, she said.
