Trump Presents Agenda to Congress With Presidential Tone
Trump’s first address to Congress as president.
President Donald Trump presented his agenda in front of Congress on Tuesday night. For the first time since he announced his candidacy, Trump sounded presidential and smooth. Kemberlee reported he will speak about these topics:
- Tax and regulatory reform
- Making the workplace better for working parents
- Obamacare reform
- Education
- Rebuilding the military
- Taking care of veterans
Trump said:
“A new chapter of American greatness is now beginning. A new national pride is sweeping across our Nation,” he said. “And a new surge of optimism is placing impossible dreams firmly within our grasp.”
He described his address as a “message of unity and strength.”
Trump asked Congress to come together and work on the mess that is Obamacare. Trump and the GOP promised to repeal and replace the health law, but so far no one has come together in agreement. He wants to present a plan that will lower costs across the board and help people buy insurance across state lines.
The president also called education “the civil rights of our time.” He wants his administration to draft an education bill that will help parents choose the right school for their children.
Again, Trump reiterated his promise that he will serve the people of America and wants citizens treated fairly:
And as he did during the presidential campaign, he pushed a nationalist message, making big promises for what will happen when America puts its citizens first: “Dying industries will come roaring back to life. … Crumbling infrastructure will be replaced with new roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways gleaming across our very, very beautiful land. … Above all else, we will keep our promises to the American people.”
He said his job is to represent the United States, not the world.
I am asking all citizens to embrace this Renewal of the #AmericanSpirit. #JointAddress

He should look at the Democrats after each proclaimation and say ” Democrats, I see you aren’t clapping… you have a problem with this? ”
Every time.
It was so great to see the miserable dems remain seated while President Trump talked about ideas that normal Americans love. I thought Pelosi’s, Wasserman-Shultz’s, and Warren’s heads were going to explode on live TV!
Warren refusing to clap at the idea of new American jobs should follow her around for the rest of her career.
It’s funny how all the Democrat women are wearing KKK white.
They just want to remind us of their pro-slavery and anti-19th amendment roots.
Revitalization. Rehabilitation. Reconciliation.
Good luck!
Oh, and we need to address the first-order causes of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Immigration Reform (e.g. refugee crises) including Obama’s noncommittal social justice adventurism from Africa to Asia to Europe. Perhaps the Russians will continue to aid us in this task and assume responsibility for the collateral damage caused by CAIR, redistributive change, and retributive change.
Love him or hate him, that was the best SOTU in almost 30 years. That was an astounding performance!
My sincerest thanks To Legal Insurrection for making this available to me.

Oh.. Mary.. thanks for putting this up…

Heck of a job Trump
And of course the question on every liberal pundit’s mind is “Why didn’t Trump wear a tie that matched the other two guys on the stand?”
Because after all, they care about important things…
Funny how Rags has gone dark on us 🙂
Please stop being an asshole.
