Figured we needed a thread to discuss tonight’s address. I don’t see how this is going to be uneventful.

He wouldn’t sit down, and was talking.

Heckling. Wouldn’t sit down.

Stirring up some good trouble?

So we’re taking back the Panama Canal and Greenland still.

Trump is really giving Adrian Brody a run for most overdrawn speech of the week.

 

[Saint Jack]

And the speech is finally over!

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Just Trump virtue-signaling again .

What did he do?

He showed a spine. Unlike the other dems who didn’t go one by one after him. Disappointed the sergeant at arms didn’t have to escort more out.

What did he do?

Democratic Rep. Al Green removed after disrupting Trump's speech

Green, who has called for the president's impeachment, was escorted out of the chamber during Trump's joint address to Congress.

That this is most probably true - along with the one that he heard “visa” and thought Biden was giving them credit cards - is just so very damning of this administration and everyone who supports it and voted for him.

A large majority of speech watchers approved of what they heard from President Trump's joint address to Congress Tuesday night.

The viewership was heavily Republican — historically a president's party draws more of their own partisans. This was no exception, and they liked what they heard.

This CBS News/YouGov survey interviewed a nationally representative sample of speech watchers immediately following the president's address to Congress.

Most speech viewers described the president as "presidential, "inspiring" and more "unifying" than "divisive." A big majority also called it "entertaining."

Most said Mr. Trump talked a lot about issues they care about.

Most viewers who tuned in say the speech made them feel "hopeful" and "proud."

The Democrats who did watch mostly described it making them feel "worried," and for 4 in 10, "angry."

Coming in, viewers said they wanted to hear about plans for lowering prices, and about two-thirds of those who watched tonight think the president has a clear plan for dealing with that.…….

I think the reasons that most people give for approval wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. What could anyone base their opinion upon, given that most of what he says is a lie or exaggerated. The DOGE cuts are overblown, and will probably cost us more than they save, because the costs of diseases, reduced research, lowered tax receipts from less IRS, and corruption, etc will all cost us more in the long run. The tariffs will increase prices. The tax cuts will increase the debt, which will eventually raise prices. The immigration crackdown will increase labor costs and thus raise prices. Besides the purported DOGE, what could anyone use as a basis to rationalize that he is lowering prices?
