Let me preface the following praise by saying I have a tough time listening to our president. His style of speech and mannerisms tend to drive me up the wall in spite of the fact I am in near total agreement with his political agenda and actions as president.
All I can say is that I am ever so glad that I did. To my absolute amazement, Donald J. Trump gave one helluva State of the Union speech, punching my conservative buttons while putting the Democrats in checkmate by cleverly appropriating every one of their major issues as his own. It was amazing to watch those Democrats initially sitting on their impolite rear ends, refusing to applaud even major positive accomplishments for their constituencies, like historically low black and Hispanic unemployment. By the time his speech was completed, Trump had large numbers of those same Democrats standing and applauding – even when he pronounced firmly that this nation will never become a socialist country, earning standing applause from even Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, much to the chagrin of Bernie Sanders and Occasional Cortex.
Look, I understand that Trump was reading a speech written by a professional White House speech-writing team, and to give them credit, they handed the man a zeroed weapon. Donald Trump took that finely tuned instrument of political warfare and proceeded to shoot down all those white-breasted Democrat ducks with volley after volley that left the blasted birds in a state of shocked confusion, looking around at each other for guidance, trying to determine how to respond.

He is the only POTUS that I never get bored listening to. This address was no exceptional compared to his others. It was mighty fine for sure, but he is always good. I can't wait until the debates start if he chooses to run. He will label each and everyone and throw them off stage as before, hopefully they won't cry as bad (still crying).
ReplyDeleteHe got them clapping for him then shut them down,gold.

ReplyDeleteNice thing about being in a free country is that Bernie and Occasional can fly to Venezuela with our best wishes to enjoy their dream first hand. Certain a Go Fund Me for one-way tickets would be oversubscribed.
Agree that Trump is a little hard to take at times. However, bitter medicine is hard to swallow, something former administrations would not think of doing.
ReplyDeleteThe only Democrat Senator i saw standing and applauding was the good Senator from West Virginia, Joe Manchin.
