Betting on Trump's SOTU (unemployment, illegal, racist, Obama)

[Clarallel]

There was a political journalist on PBS last night who was saying humorously that when Trump performs his State of the Union address, at the point where a president usually says, "The state of our union is..." - we can bet that it will probably have the usual automatic superlatives.

In other words, he'll probably say something like:
The state of our union is the greatest it's been in decades!
The state of our union is the best of any other president!
The state of our union is the most prosperous ever!
The state of our union is the best - with the fast-growing economy, the most powerful in the world!

It would be fun to have a group of people watching, and either note every personal brag, or every superlative, or every "very very."

And he would be right.

Undoing the damage from obama is a step in the right direction. The stock market is booming. Unemployment is down.

^ Have you discarded a "Trumpism" in your fact gathering?

The State of our Union is....Bigly!

I don't watch TV in the off season (football). However, if I were to tune in on Tuesday, it would only be to see the rebuttal.

We can bet that:
1) Liberals have written some negative response before hearing it
2) Liberals will complain regardless of what he says
3) Liberals will call Trump and Republicans racist
4) The liberal response will have absolutely nothing to do with whatever Trump actually says
5) Liberals will complain about free free ice cream if it's the wrong flavor

I'd be more entertained if he opened with a chicken drumstick.
Washed it down with a diet coke and threw the bone to the Dems and their illegals in attendance. Then he could ask for two scoops of ice cream make a diet coke float and use a straw without asking for it.
That would be huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

People could make a drinking game out of it. There'd be some very drunk people out there. I won't be watching, I've got better things to watch on Netflix.

It doesn't matter what he says. He changes his mind every 5 minutes so his word is meaningless.

IF he manages to keep his chit together and try to unify the country (Ha), he'd just undo it in the morning with another juvenile, name calling tweet.

This right here is 100% correct.

liberals could have everything handed to them on a golden platter, never have to work again for the rest of their lives, and have the same thing happen to everyone they would like it to happen to, and they would STILL complain about something.
